Physics Decoded! Ace Your Tests, Actually Understand Concepts! Clear Explanations for Every Topic with Interactive Teaching.

The tutor and student worked through several AP Physics free-response questions covering topics such as forces, energy conservation, gravitational forces, and experimental design. They practiced deriving expressions, drawing free-body diagrams, and analyzing energy transformations in systems with and without friction. The session aimed to prepare the student for their upcoming AP Physics exam.

The Student and Tutor reviewed concepts in kinematics, fluid dynamics, work and energy, oscillations, circular motion, and projectile motion. They solved problems involving velocity-time graphs, fluid flow, friction, spring-mass systems, static friction, pressure, and the work-energy and impulse-momentum theorems. The Tutor also guided the Student through calculations for a zip-line scenario and projectile motion velocity changes.

The Student and Tutor reviewed Archimedes' principle, buoyant force, and pressure in fluids. They practiced calculating forces on a submerged object, determining fluid density using a U-tube barometer, and deriving expressions for displaced volume and density from experimental data, with a plan to share screenshots of a remaining problem.

The session focused on kinematics, including speed, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and the application of kinematic equations. The student practiced solving problems related to average speed, average velocity, and displacement, including scenarios requiring unit conversions and the Pythagorean theorem. The student and Tutor also reviewed potential and kinetic energy, the work-energy theorem, and the law of conservation of energy.

The Tutor and Student reviewed key formulas and problem-solving techniques for Simple Harmonic Motion, including concepts related to springs, pendulums, energy, velocity, and period. They worked through various practice problems involving calculations of displacement, velocity, acceleration, and energy, as well as analyzing graphical representations of SHM.

The Student and Tutor reviewed position-time graphs, focusing on interpreting slopes to determine motion (forward, backward, stopped) and calculating average and instantaneous velocities. They also touched upon curved graphs related to acceleration and practiced using kinematic equations for free-fall problems, with the Tutor planning to send additional practice worksheets.
