Thanks for the responses ! This was helpful ! I’ll try to do my own set up with a pendulum and try this out !

I was trying to know how people figured it out because it was never presented to me . I’ was sure there evidence for it I was just unaware Of what that evidence is And how it can be demonstrated if you don’t have a vacuum .

My understanding is that all falling objects on Earth will fall at the same acceleration of 9.8m/s^2 in the absence of air resistance . But isn’t air resistance everywhere on the planet since we have an atmosphere ? . So how did these scientists from back in the day figure out the 9.8 number ?

Just like to hear other perspectives before I make decisions. I’ve been given a lot of bad advice over the years .

Python based course or java course ?. I will be taking an introductory computer programming course . One is python based and the other is java based. The java based course has 2 semesters and goes more in depth with programming . Would it be useful to just take the java courses and get the...

I'm not allowed to get a 2nd bachelors degree in the same field but I can retake courses. The reason I wanted to be enrolled in the degree program is for financial aid. I can retake classes but I have to pay out of pocket .

Hi, Thanks for responding . I am in complete agreement with you , I am underprepared. Should I retake everything including Math courses (The entire calculus sequence and beyond )?, I will be starting over completely from the introductory physics courses . My personal situation has improved...

I’m trying to learn about simple circuits but I have a few questions because I don’t fully understand what’s going on . 1. If the reason current flows when a wire is connected to the ends of a battery is due to a potential difference across a battery , why can’t the current just flow through...

They would let me do that I believe , it just can’t be the same degree .

I see . This program I was in during undergrad really screwed my over by pushing me through and giving me this degree . I should have just left school when I could have . Things are much better now in my life but I’m so pissed at this .

My undergraduate GPA was very low . (2.4). I know for a fact I can do much better than this. When I entered undergrad it was my first time getting away from the abusive relationship with my foster parents . I was struggling a lot with no family , money , and I was homeless for awhile in...

It turns out I’m not allowed to do that . Is it still worthwhile to continue taking courses as a non degree student ?

I never knew that schools do that . I’m looking into it now . If so this would be great , as it qualifies me for financial aid and I know I can do better !

Wait I can get a second bachelors degree in the same field ??

I received a bachelors degree in physics in 2018 . Due to circumstances out of my control , I did not learn as much physics and math as I should have. My grades were very mediocre , but I realized later that I was being pushed through the system because I was a first generation minority student...
