I signed up for Physics B because my teacher said it was broad and could help me in getting an engineering degree. I actually found out that a lot of schools don't accept AP Physics B for college credit. MIT accepts credit for AP Physics C if there is a 5 on both exams. It's too late to...

I'm currently a Junior in high school with an average GPA of about 3.197 (includes first semester of Junior year). Over the years, I haven't really been taking hs TOO seriously due to the lack of focus and effort in my studies (and also because I thought high school would be as easy as middle...

Hi again. Alright, I'm having a problem in this question which has 3 parts. The question is: An arithmetic progression (ap) has first term a and common difference d. Part 1 of it says to write down expressions for 2nd and 6th terms in terms of a and d. This is no problem as it is is...

I am currently a junior in high school taking physics A. I find it very easy and natural and have an A for 1st semester and a 97 on the midterm. I want to take AP physics but i am not sure which one. In college i am most likely going into construction so I will need a lot of math and physics...

A satellite of mass m is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, which has mass Me and radius Re. The orbit varies from closest approach of a at point A to maximum distance of b from the center of the Earth at point B. At point A, the speed of the satellite is vo.Express your answers in terms...

I took Pre-Ap Chem and got through it extremely easily. The only question is where to go from there. I can take AP Chem or Biochem if I want to stay in that area, which I do. I think I'm majoring in some form of Chemistry. I know the AP Chem teacher (she was my Pre-Ap teacher, too) and she says...
