    CSI: Who Done it?

    FizziksGuy commented on Cvankerkhove's blog entry in CVs Blog

    It was a blast listening to the various folks talk out their reasoning, while watching others closely guard their secrets in an attempt to win the 'prize.'

    Homer Simpson

    FizziksGuy commented on jcstack6's blog entry in Fun With Physics

    I usually show this clip to my Regents classes each year -- love it!

    With your kinematic equations. Set up separate vi, fi, d, a, t tables for your two objects, and see what commonalities and relationships you can build based on the given information. Then, solve for vi of the object that starts on the ground (hint -- be careful picking whether you call up or down the positive y-direction. Either will work, but once you pick it, stick with it for the duration of the problem).

    Tuba physics

    FizziksGuy commented on jcstack6's blog entry in Fun With Physics

    I heard someone tried dribbling a tuba down in the band room this week and caused some damage. Coefficients of restitution for band instruments are, apparently, fairly low.

    Vikings? Vikings? And I was just beginning to like you too...

    Tons of physics at the amusement park. I'm not a big fan of experiencing jerks (changes in acceleration), though my little girl loves it!

    That looks like a blast!

    FANTASTIC blog post, and a wonderful technology usage for us baseball fans!

    So what went wrong with the first attempt at calculating the horizontal displacement of the projectile?
  11. FizziksGuy
    So why did the first attempt fail? What went wrong in your calculations?

    Huston we have a problem

    FizziksGuy commented on Shadoof's blog entry in Phys-X

    So what went wrong with the first set of calculations?

    Bert Blyleven was always my fave for the curveball, but that was a couple of years ago now. :-)

    There is tons of physics in video games, and finding good designers/programmers with strong physics background is, I hear, an ongoing challenge in the field.

    Nicely summarized. If you fail at something (and we all do at times), there are three things you should do about it: Admit it Learn from it Don't repeat it Learning to fail productively is a very important skill in life... and it looks like we're well on our way to learning how to do just that!

    First Impressions

    FizziksGuy commented on eclark's blog entry in eclark

    Welcome aboard eclark! The good news about tests in our AP-C class... even if they don't go well, you can learn from them and retake them (each one up to 3 retakes!). You also have that nice blog score bonus of 100/100 if you keep writing good reflections each week. Thrilled to have you in the class...

    Looking forward to learning more about video game physics!

    I understand being nervous about the videos, but try to think of it this way -- in what other classes do you have an instructor available to help you for 42 minutes each day?
  20. FizziksGuy
    I wouldn't worry too much about all-nighters... if you do your work a bit each night, it's really not that bad.
  21. FizziksGuy
    Your thoughts on the best curveball in baseball?
  22. FizziksGuy
    Nice try Shadoof, but a reflective comment adding something to the conversation would be helpful.

    About Me

    FizziksGuy commented on Cvankerkhove's blog entry in CVs Blog

    You're not just getting close to taking a college class in AP-C... you are taking a college class. Two of 'em, actually!

    TONS of physics in video games -- looking forward to learning more about it!

    Hang in there Skylor -- another week or two and things will tend to sort themselves out!
