Dynamic physics educator, building strong fundamentals, boosting confidence and helping students excel in exams

The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts of rotational dynamics, including equilibrium, angular momentum, and moment of inertia. They practiced calculating moment of inertia for continuous mass distributions and applied the principles of conservation of angular momentum to various scenarios and problems. The session concluded with exercises on calculating angular momentum and rotational kinetic energy for celestial bodies and a ring.

The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts of rotational dynamics, including center of mass and moment of inertia, differentiating between discrete and continuous mass distributions. They practiced calculating moment of inertia and center of mass using both direct formulas and integration, and applied these principles to solve problems involving rods and rotating systems. The Tutor encouraged the Student to practice more problems from the assignment.

The Student and Tutor reviewed torque, rotational equilibrium, and related concepts. The Student practiced problem-solving techniques, including calculating forces and distances in equilibrium scenarios, and began working through assigned problems. The tutor recommended getting the answer key to check assignment answers.

The Student and Tutor worked through several projectile motion problems, covering both horizontal and angular launches. The student practiced applying kinematic equations and trigonometric principles to solve for various parameters such as range, height, and time of flight. The tutor assigned additional problems for independent practice and mentioned sharing a GoodNotes file for collaborative problem-solving in future sessions.

The Student and Tutor reviewed concepts related to projectile motion, including its definition, types, and the principle of independence of motions. The Student practiced solving a projectile motion problem involving horizontal launch. The plan is to continue practicing with assignment questions in the next session, focusing on horizontal projectile motion.

Student and Tutor discussed the concept of torque, its relationship to force in rotational motion, and the conditions for rotational equilibrium. They worked through example problems involving torque calculations and the principle of moments. The student was assigned practice questions related to these concepts for homework.
