1-on-1 physics classes recently held in St. Petersburg

Ongoing near Old Northeast, Snell Isle, Kenwood

Garima taught 25 days ago

The student reviewed concepts of work, energy (kinetic and potential), Newton's laws of motion, and conservation of momentum in preparation for an exam. They discussed the application of these concepts to problems involving forces, collisions, and motion. The tutor assigned practice problems related to collision and conservation of energy, and suggested the student clarify if rotational motion concepts would be tested.

Work and Energy

Inertia and Mass

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Action-Reaction (Newton's Third Law)

Conservation of Momentum

Gravitational vs. Gravitation Potential Energy

Garima taught 30 days ago

The session covered magnetic fields, forces on moving charges, and torque on a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field. The student practiced applying the right-hand thumb rule and Fleming's left-hand rule to determine the direction of magnetic forces. Homework was assigned to practice cross-product calculations and apply learned concepts to a problem.

Force on a Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

Torque on a Current Loop in a Magnetic Field

Force Between Two Parallel Wires

Work Done by Magnetic Force in Circular Motion

Fleming's Left Hand Rule

Magnetic Field Representation (Inward/Outward)

Right Hand Thumb Rule

The session covered statics, focusing on calculating equivalent resultant forces and their locations in a distributed load system. The Student and Tutor worked through a problem involving a beam with a linearly varying distributed load and a concentrated force. The Tutor assigned the Student to review the chapter on rigid bodies and free body diagrams, with plans to cover the concepts in more detail in the next session before tackling further problems.

Frequently asked questions

Why am I good at math but keep failing my physics tests?

Physics requires applying math to real-world concepts, not just solving equations in isolation. Even if your algebra skills are strong, you may struggle if you don’t fully grasp ideas like forces, motion, or energy. In El Paso schools such as Coronado and Franklin High, teachers often combine problem-solving with lab experiments, like measuring acceleration on an inclined plane, to bridge the gap. Reviewing concepts alongside formulas will help link your math ability to physics success.

What topics are covered in a standard high school physics course?

A typical course covers motion, forces, energy, momentum, waves, sound, light, and basic electricity and magnetism.

Which AP Physics class is the right one for me? (1, 2, or C)

AP Physics 1: A great first-year, algebra-based course covering mechanics. AP Physics 2: A second-year, algebra-based course covering electricity, fluids, and modern physics. AP Physics C: A much more difficult, calculus-based course that's best for students planning to major in physics or engineering.

What are the best internships or summer research opportunities for physics undergraduates?

In the St. Pete area, look for: REU Programs - Research Experiences for Undergraduates: USF and other Florida universities host these paid summer research programs. Local Tech Companies: Companies in aerospace like Raytheon or Jabil and medical devices often have technical internships. Marine Science Institutes: The USF College of Marine Science and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute FWRI are right in St. Pete and sometimes have opportunities for students with strong quantitative skills.

What are the different types of physics exams?

AP Physics Exams: For high school students to earn college credit. GRE Subject Test in Physics: Often required for graduate school admission.

What kind of jobs can you actually get with a physics degree?

Beyond academia, physicists work as software engineers, data scientists, quantitative analysts in finance, engineers in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and medical physicists.

How much time should my teenager study physics outside of school each week?

For steady progress, 3-5 hours spread over the week works well. This can include homework, reviewing lab data, and doing additional practice problems. In the lead-up to major tests like the Regents Physics exam, El Paso teachers often recommend doubling that time.
