Mechanics Reflection

We just finished all of Mechanics for AP physics C, and I want to reflect on the highs and lows of the semester. I most enjoyed learning about rotational motion, specifically angular momentum, as it was so unlike anything from last year. Finally learning to deal with rolling objects felt like a real step forward from last year. I found oscillation to be the most challenging unit, and cross products to be the most confusing new concept. I really enjoyed independent units and hope we do another one for Electricity and Magnetism.

Cross products are definitely strange, and I liked learning about angular momentum and rolling objects as well, though I'm not so crazy about how much more complicated energy problems are now than they were last year. And I'm a big fan of independent units as well.
