ok. i am taking an "INTRODUCTION" physics class. I have never taken physics in my life before.
the requirements for this class are high school algebra with a C or better (which i got)
and the guy throws story problems at us and doesn't explain how to solve them or the formulas. is this normal for an introduction class?
take this for example:
Consult Multiple-Concept Example 5 in order to review a model for solving this problem. A hot-air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.08 m/s. When the balloon is 7.51 m above the ground, the balloonist accidentally drops a compass over the side of the balloon. How much time elapses before the compass hits the ground?
Number
1.59
Units
s
is it just me that's retarded, or are the requirements for this course much higher than they are listed?
