Thanks for the input. I have one more question. I am considering learning the entire course in the off season( say like summer). But what I am afraid of is, what if i teach myself the concepts incorrectly?(If that's possible...) And the way i learned the concept is not the way my instructor...
I've noticed that my routine for studying mathematics, physics, chemistry etc. isn't doing me any good. It seems that no matter how much effort i put into studying the material, I am always one step behind and my test scores come back horrible. My current routine will be to read through the...

Homework Statement
An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass hangs from it at rest, the spring is extended 0.06 meters from its relaxed state. An upward external force is then applied to the block to move it upward a distance of 0.16 meters. While the block is...
