just about to start ch 7/finish ch 6</p>
<p>we are on energy and work... it's nifty</p>
<p>For all those with the Halliday, Resnick and Walker book, what's your favorite question. there are some pretty funny ones, especially if you only look at the first sentance or even just the first few words. I'll start (I have 5th edition):</p>
<p>ch. 2, p. 34, #82P
"A woman fell 144 ft from the top of a building, landing on the top of a metal ventilator box..."</p>
<p>ch. 2, p. 35, #90P
"A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails up and then down past an open window..."</p>
<p>ch. 4, p. 73, #1E
"A watermelon has the following coordinates..."</p>
<p>entertain us and post YOUR favorite question starter</p>
<p>What is the diff between Physics B and Physics C? It seems from looking at college catalogs that you get more credit for Physics B yet at my school Physics C looks harder - prereq or coreq calculus.</p>
<p>In Physics B, with Giancolli, we're on work and energy... yeah... fun.</p>
<p>at my school it's a coreq. the calculus that we've used so far has been absurdly simple and the hard stuff hasn't even touched on calculus. i think physics B is more extensive but less specific, especially on e&m stuff.</p>
<p>physics c is harder/the more advanced class. some schools will only give ap credit to higher classes (i.e. MIT doesn't give phys b credit but does give phys c credit)</p>
<p>in terms of prereqs and coreqs...pre-calculus is a co-req for physics b at my school, but i'm not sure what the co/pre is for c...although i imagine an ap calc co-req</p>
<p>AP Physics (B): Circular Motion</p>
<p>we have a test on thursday on rotational motion, torque, bodies in eq, elasticity and fracture... i enjoy chemistry much more!</p>
<p>for the Halliday/Resnick, my favorite Q begins "A slide loving pig" Chapter 6 i think.</p>
