    Finding the resultant of 3 Vectors modeling a force table

    Hey, sorry for the basic question, but I'm curious. Can one create a resultant for 2 vectors that cannot be drawn head- to - tail, and are facing opposing directions? The idea is that I set up a force table and took measurements on how many Newtons of force are acting upon each spring...

    Courses Should I take AP Physics without ever having taken a physics course?

    That is true, but my only reason I am now hesitant, is that Physics B is geared more towards those who are not going into fields directly related with science, and my goal is to one day be an engineer of some sort, which is rigorously involved with physics and mathematics. But I know that...

    Relationship between Differentiation and Integration?

    Hello everyone, I have a question that I have spent many nights pondering and hours on my whiteboard considering. I apologize in advance if this question seems a bit elementary, but to me it is something that I believe is all important before I can understand all of calculus. How is...

    Courses Should I take AP Physics without ever having taken a physics course?

    First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I am looking for some guidance other than my friends who don't see the beauty of math and science, or education in general. I am going into my senior year at public high school and have never taken a physics course, although standard...
