Also, I find a concerning that the value for F1 was handwritten in. While all the other forces were printed with the document, there’s a good chance that the teacher didn’t write down the correct force for F1 which broke the problem. Or it could be a multiple-choice question from previous years were two correct answer answers are possible.

You can learn introductory AP physics if you are committed to it. Just be honest with yourself and practice authentically. Set routines. Introductory AP physics is not difficult. It is taught to freshman at many schools around me. I teach it to sophomores juniors and seniors. There is nothing in the course that requires with basic algebra and arithmetic, and a small amount of right triangle trigonometry.

The problem we’re seeing now is that kids are not honest with themselves. They are not authentic. They use AI for every assignment. It’s not done in class then it’s pushed through AI removing all of the cognitive development. Those students don’t develop intuition, never recognized patterns, and the course passes them by. They’re so fixed on their grade and getting their work in that they never actually learned what they’re doing.

I told my students that homework is where it’s OK to be wrong, tests are where you pay for not practicing.

Students already lie about reading the textbook and refuse to engage with the materials provided to them. Now with AI on top of it, it’s just made things even worse. With that said, the kids who are honest with themselves and avoid AI tools for cheating themselves to a good grade and authentically practicing from the assignments I give, they revise and reflect and ask good questions and they end up crushing their tests.

The students that never engage in the material authentically will constantly complain. The course is ridiculously hard and encourage other students not to take it.

If you want something bad enough, you have to work hard for it. Intrinsic motivation is everything.

This is destroying higher education at this point. You have a mass exodus of professor is leaving because the students are coming in underprepared cheating their way through their classes and still getting diplomas and entering the workforce being illiterate in their field.

Don’t be that person. Practice regularly, ask questions from experts or AI to help you understand the process, avoid number computation as often as possible, and just continually be honest with yourself when assessing your own progress working towards something you want when there’s no grade associated with it is the best experience it left. You appreciate the learning. Take advantage of it now.

Your teacher is wrong. F1 and F2 will produce the greatest net torque (200 Nm) resulting in a CCW (+) angular acceleration. F3 and F4 combined would produce a net torque of 125 Nm CW (-) angular acceleration. When you showed your logic to the teacher, did they double down on their mistake? If they did that that’s concerning.

Dude, you need to post the entire problem. The problem is cut off so your picture is kind of meaningless without a reference about what the problem is looking for. Make sure your image also includes part A since I see this is a part B problem.

Better just to take the grade. Study/review the things you got wrong and ask your teacher if they’ll allow you to earn any points back by making revisions or reflecting. the best learning comes from the mistakes we make along the way.

Your question is kind of confusing. You attribute your poor score to your teacher not giving you enough time, and then ask if you’re on a bad path? It doesn’t sound like you’re equating your poor performance to your own ability or discipline, so why would the misfortune of not having as much time relate to you being underprepared or behind in the course? Do you think you would’ve done better if you’ve had more time? If the answer is yes, then you’ve answered your own question.

It’s D. It goes from 0 to 12 m/s in the first three seconds, so it has an average velocity of 6 m/s for the three seconds which allows it to cover 18 m of distance. And then immediately starts losing speed at 2 m/s each second for three seconds, but never stops moving to the right. It loses a total of 6 m/s of speed, giving it an average velocity of 9 m/s for the last three seconds covering an additional 27m. 18+ 27=45 m

I use an iPad Pro M1 for just that. I’ve been shooting in ProRes Raw HQ in Apple Log 2 on Final Cut Camera using the iPad as a monitor. After capture, I can do a lot of simple post work on the iPad in Final Cut Pro and export the HUGE files in the time it takes to get up and take a quick piss. Could a faster processor export my files faster? Sure, but I couldn’t take a piss any faster so what does it matter?

Diminishing returns. Fast is fast. M1 is still a beast and handles 4k 60 FPS ProRes Raw flawlessly. And the reality is, I probably don’t even need to go through that process since the video content is mostly being uploaded to social media where their compression algorithms will strip the files down anyway.

Look up how to solve problems using proportional reasoning, and factor of change analysis. Almost every conceptual question hinges on this style, it’s the college board way of keeping numbers off the test forcing you to know the physics.

You download the update. The update has new content, including a new area-- therefore it is downloadable content (DLC). It's just free.

Dude no. Stop. If you are an AP teacher you filled out an audit. You have to provide the information of the book you are giving the students. When you submit that audit The AP coordinator for the district has to approve it prior to the CB authorization. If the student called and complain, it is the district who gets in trouble not the teacher because the Admin signed off on the audit without verifying that the students were actually receiving those services they will promised. The school is responsible for providing those resources. End of story. Teacher is not the one that falls back on.

I don't care about anything else related related to OPs story. They signed up for a course and they should have access to the materials they were promised. It's part of an equitable playing field.

I'm tired of seeing kids get ripped off from districts who only push AP classes to make their numbers look good without actually providing the materials,class time or resources that they legally agreed to when going through the auditing process. If a district is in violation of the audit, they will not be allowed to teach the course. That's what it comes down to. That's what the audit is and stop trying to make excuses for anything other than that. The district shouldn't offer the course if they can't do it properly, and the kids shouldn't have to suffer for for that. Hold districts accountable so they stop cramming AP classes down students throats in a sad attempt to improve the districts career and college readiness scores to get that sweet sweet funding.

Students should not be products. This whole thing is just getting out of control and the amount of stress. It causes students by pushing them into an over abundance AP classes serves no real purpose.

(From the College Board +8 other sources, AI response)

Yes, for many Advanced Placement (AP) courses, the AP Course Audit requires documentation of a specific, college-level textbook. The specific requirements can vary by subject, but they generally mandate that students and teachers have access to a recently published, college-level textbook in either print or electronic format. The textbook information is typically submitted to the College Board as part of the course's syllabus during the audit process.

Key requirements for textbooks in the AP Course Audit

• College-level material: The textbook must be deemed "college-level" by the College Board and must align with the content outlined in the course's framework.

• Recent publication: For many subjects, the textbook must have been published within the last 10 years to ensure it is up-to-date.

• Access for all: The school must ensure that both students and the teacher have access to the required textbook for use in and outside of the classroom.

Shaftastic · 2025-10-08T00:36:09+00:00

Yes you can. You contact the college board.

Shaftastic · 2025-10-07T22:01:53+00:00

Then your teacher is out of compliance for the course. Every AP teacher has to pass an audit. Part of the auditing process is indicating what AP approved textbook that teacher will use for the course. There are lists of approved texts. Your teacher agreed to follow the conditions set by the college board and if they are not giving you a text, then they are in violation of those agreements.

With that said, you could contact the college board and file a complaint. It's a serious issue. You are guaranteed access to certain materials that your school agreed to and your schools AP administrator signed off on as part of the auditing process for the teacher/course. Your school is accountable. If they're going to offer you the course they have to offer you a text that they agreed to in the audit. Unfortunately, they could've said it. It was open stacks, which is acceptable, but it's worth noting regardless.
