Physics

<p>I thought I knew the material on a test in Physics. I got all the problems right except two (there were 5 questions altogether). The first problem I got wrong was to find how far a ball was going to break and fall given the centripetal acceleration and the radius.
I know that this is a half parabola problem, but on the test I turned it into a a parabola that was a little less than full! I am so mad at myself!</p>

<p>Another problem was to find if centripetal force is really important between electrons and protons -> I even found the FC! But then I decided (in my stupid way) that it does play a role even though the force turned out to be something X 10^-32!</p>

<p>I just don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions, is there any hope for me at all? Or am I just stupid (though I have a 100 in all classes and a 98 in APUSH)? </p>

<p>SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS OR JUST SAY THAT I HAVE NO HOPE.</p>

2

<p>oh yea you're a real idiot with your 100's and 98's. KJHHGKLHgh. yeah and your school must have grade inflation:D.</p>

3

<p>my teachers actually try and stop people from getting 100's in my classes
no weighted averages</p>

4

<p>how is it possible to get a 100? you get nothing wrong? I dont think a single person in my school gets a 100 in any class. in fact , in my history class the max. grade you can statistically get is a 98.75, but no one gets over 96.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, you don't ever mess up and a little extra credit to help the people in my class who are failing. Helps me though:) Actually I have a 102 in math and 113 in English</p>

6

<p>Oh..i see. my school doesnt allow extra credit. and it's essentially impossible to not "mess up" at all. Oh well.</p>

7

<p>any suggestions to help me with physics?</p>

8

<p>haha...very modest</p>

9

<p>umm you dont need help in physics. you made silly mistakes. you know what you did wrong. i dont understand the problem here.</p>

10

<p>the problem here is that the op feels the need to brag. end of story.</p>

11

<p>My history teacher last year gave out crazy extra credit.</p>

<p>He has a top 10, with the people who got the 10 highest grades in his class. This one girl who had him the year before me got a 132%, but still didn't make it.</p>

12

<p>grade inflation does not look too grade on apps, imo</p>

13

<p>Wow, you get extra credit? I wish I had your luck.</p>

<p>If all my teachers gave extra credit, I would have over 100's for sure. Right now, I have 90's to 96's.</p>

14

<p>I make stupid mistakes, I know that
I did not want to brag, I had to because Green was asking
Is there anyone here that found a way around stupid mistakes? Iknow they are "stupid" but what can I do to change that and maybe lessen the mistakes</p>

<p>But the way exem.. THere is no grade inflation in my school, get over that fact okay?</p>

15

<p>omg i *<strong><em>ing hate physics. NO matter how hard I try I end up with a grade lower than a 60. I even stayed after school. I get all the homework problems right and even teh class worksheet problems. It really makes no *</em></strong>ing sense. I hate physics. I hate science. I hate math. I LOVE FILM</p>

16

<p>I can sympathize with you on that</p>

17

<p>naidu...you cant deny that it's obviously really easy to get good grades at your school. 113? give me a break. that's ridiculous. if you can get that high you're obviously not being challenged.</p>

18

<p>That was the only time in English that our teacher gave extra credit, cost $27 to get it (it was aplay). ALmost noone did it because of that... BTW people are failing that class</p>

<p>exactly! i'm hoping it's not an AP class</p>
