Well, I avoided this class as long as I could... and now I am stuck with it! I am in a beginner class, but the course is way too fast, and I can't figure out what the teacher is talking about. We are dealing with graphs and 'Straight Line Motion' right now, and I am so lost. I have a test tomorrow morning! I am going to fail it. Is there anyone out there who could help me with some questions... maybe I will catch on... although I doubt it. Message me back... I have quite a few problems, and no answers :cry:

You should just post your questions here, in the forum. If they are general questions, you can post them here in the General Physics forum. If they relate to a specific homework question, you can post them in the Homework Help forum. When asking for help with homework, don't forget to show us what attempts you've made.

No, Physics is not hard, is special. You must love it to have success ;)

You can't handle a car moving in a straight line at the same speed?

"I'll go 20 kilometers per hour for 2 hours, how far did I go?" What about 1.5 hours? 1? See a rule here?
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
