<p>I'm doing just the Mech part of the class but my teacher is beyond horrible. I'm honestly fretting if I will pass the exam or not already. Anyway we just finished circular motion(even though no one understands it still) and are just now starting drag. How far behind are we?</p>
<p>You’re not behind. We just finished Circular Motion and Applications of Newton’s Laws and will be starting Energy and all that next week.</p>
<p>Wait- is your class full or half year?</p>
<p>We are ahead of you guys. Just had an exam on work and some other topics. Now we are doing conservative forces/potential energy.</p>
<p>It’s a full year. We are supposed to do work/energy homework over thanksgiving break even though our teacher hasn’t taught it yet. My calc teacher will most likely have an underground physics class because no one can understand my physics teacher. Ughh. I guess we aren’t behind but still =/ I’m nervous.</p>
<p>Phew, I’m at about the same part! I thought I was falling behind 
I’m attempting this as an independent study though. I wish I could do E & M… but I have a busy schedule; it’d definitely be too much. Besides, even if I get a 5 on the exam (which is the goal of course), I’ll probably still take it in college lol just for the lab factor.</p>
<p>Self-studying. I’m currently doing rotational dynamics/angular momentum stuffs and it is painful. (My book does work/energy after this unit, so eh.)</p>
<p>(Unfortunately, Caltech requires a physics class, so I have to take the AP Physics C class next year, which I could have filled with something that I would benefit more from. Grr.)</p>
<p>Where are you guys at now? We just got out for winter break, but we’re about done with Potential Energy, after which we will start Linear Momentum. </p>
<p>I think my class might be just a bit behind most others, but we have been doing a lot of AP exam preparation mixed in throughout the year. For example, my teacher gave us the last 5 years of frq’s to do over the break. Of course, we can’t do every problem since we haven’t covered everything, but we are to do as much as we can, which is actually about 2/3 of the frq’s.</p>
<p>Our class finished up rotational motion (Torque, Rotational Intertia, Angular velocity/acceleration) right before break. We do both Mech and E&M in one year.</p>
<p>BUMP</p>
<p>We just finished Rotational Motion (Torque, Moment of Inertia, Angular Velocity/acceleration). However, my class is a full year Mechanics class. </p>
<p>I’m getting nervous for the exam… How about you guys?</p>
<p>We also just were tested on rotational motion and are starting a new chapter on rotational equilibrium or something of that nature. My class is also a full year mech class… I’m super nervous about the ap exam. I have an A in my class but I feel like I’m completely lost half the time 
Spring break is physics time for me I guess.</p>
<p>We’re doing Angular Momentum next (short chapter), then Static Equilibrium and Elasticity (also a short chapter), Universal Gravitation after that (appears to me as one of the easiest chapters in the book), and then Oscillatory Motion.
I’m hoping that my class will have at least 3 weeks to prepare for the AP exam. It appears that we will.
However, that doesn’t take a whole lot of stress off my mind. :/</p>
<p>Right now we are on oscillation.</p>
<p>Where am I? In physics hell.</p>
<p>Right now we’re trying to figure out where we went wrong. :D</p>
