Well, it depends on the student. Some students take as many AP classes as they can to impress the colleges. And some on the other hand take none.

hey every1~ Since the last semester, I've gotten 79 for up to 4 times. First, I got 79 in my spanish class, then on american history test. Again, on the second test of amer. hist., and on my eng. regents. I am not sure why I'm keep geting 79s. What can be the cause in your opinion. I'm not worried, btw. I am just curious.

When I was 5 or 6 I used to operate my electronic cars and other toys. During that time, I wanted to be an engineer or something like that. However, I wasn't much interested in math and/or sciences and even education. I hated my school and I always got straight Cs. When I got into high school, math seemed pretty easy to me as it was "below grade level class". I got straight A+s for math and I started to develop my interest in it. For science class I had "below grade level" physics. Basically, I didn't learn anything out of that class but I still got A+ for it as it didn't require any physics knowledge but simple algebra and geometry. For the next year science class, I decided to take actual high school physics but my grade advisor didn't let me take it as Biology was a required course to take any other sci. class. So, I got stuck with it. For the first semester I failed to pass the class. I used to believe that there's no way I can ever pass my bio class. However, fortunately, I got a good teacher for the next semester and she made me realized that bio can be as easy math if I just pay attention in the class, do my homework, and organize myself. And she was actually right, I got A+. For this year, I am taking physics honor course and AP Physics C as an independent learning. Also, computer technology also has a great deal to do with my science career. While I was a freshman at my high school, I learned to design websites and learned several programming languages. My math skills really played a great role in my learning experience. And I realized the stuff that I ignored was "understandable”, it was my stupidity that I just couldn't figure out.

Well, I am researching on lithium ion batteries. I really am not sure what field of chemistry it specifically refers to as I just have started the project. Also, the research involves the following subjects too: -Polymer Electrolyte Membrane -and Nuclear magnetic resonance I am studding these concepts over at wikipedia, and the subjects seem pretty straight-forward. But when it comes to the chemical usage, I get lost.

Yea, pre-cal is just a review of algebra, gemoetry, and trignometry, as everyone else said. If you feel comfortable with these principles then you'd probably won't have any problem in the class. Here's a good resource website for learning pre-cal: http://www.themathpage.com/aPreCalc/precalculus.htm Good Luck.

Use your imaginations. Such as, when you subsitute "a" with 1/2 or "b" with 2/3, do all that in your head without writing anything down. It seems like JHS math problem so you may not even need to use your math skills, but imaginations.

Check out http://collegeboard.com. It has a lot of tools that may help you find a good college. Good Luck.

Hi everybody! I am doing some research in physics which also involves chemistry. The research is primarily based on physical science principles, but sometimes chemical knowledge is also required. But unfortunately, I've not took and chemistry courses just yet and don't think I'll be taking any till next year. So, do you guys know about any website, book, or any other learning material that would teach the involvement of chemistry in physics? Right now, I only have a few amount of time to learn the fundamentals of chemistry that involve physics. I don't think I'd be studying chemistry itself, as I don't have enough time. So, please be specific. Thanks.

aight. now, I understand that momentum in a mass in motion, and it's the quantity of motion. But the question that is still confusing me is why on Earth we need to study momentum? What makes a difference?

Hi everybody! As you may define "Force" as a "push or a pull", then how would you go about defining momentum in the same way. Please don't use "mass*velocity" stuff, I've read it thousands of times in my textbook and it doesn't really explain the actual meaning of momentum. Thx.

Hi everyone! I was just curious about how you guys go about managing your time... Do you create daily schedules, to-do list, or what? And if you use one of these formulaa, then how do you make yourself follow it... I myself prefer to make schedueles...but when it comes to follow 'em...I just give up...

Hi, Can someone explain how is the difference between arc AE and arc BD is twice the magnitude of angle ACE... I know it is the geometric theorem, but I need exlpaination on how it is possible.. I searched around google... but couldn't find any useful resource... thx..

Six poker chips have numbers written on them so that one chip is numbered "1," two chips are numbered "2," and three chips are numbered "3." The chips are placed in a bag and three chips are drawn at random and without replacement. What is the proability that the sum of the numbers on the chips drawn is divisible by 5?

The average velocity for the moon to make one revolution around the Earth is approximately 1024.8 m/s, which is equivalent to the amount of megabytes (1024 MB) in a gigabyte (1 GB).

Hello everybody! I have a few questions regarding how I should read a book. Should I read every single word from the begining of the book till the end. Or, should I just read what I want to....?? Thanks.

Hi there, I have three more questions regarding motions from my homework... 1. Assume an airplane starts with an initial speed of zero and accelerates at 20 meters per second^2. State the distance traveled, the speed, and the acceleration for the first five seconds. First Sec. D=10m s=10m/s a=20m/s^2 Second Sec. D=40m s=20m/s a=20m/s^2 Third Sec. D=90m s=45m/s a=20m/s^2 Fourth Sec. D=160m s=80m/s a=20m/s^2 Fifth Sec. D=250m s=125m/s a=20m/s^2 I don't know whether my answers are valid or not. If they are valid, I still don't get anything out of them as I just used the formulas to solve the problem. 2. A projectile is shot straight up with an initial speed of 98.1 m/s. How long does the projectile remains in the air? How high does it rise? I don't understand the entire concept of this question. How is it possible to find the max. height and other asked variables if the speed is only given. 3. A steel projectile is shot horizontally at a speed of 20 m/s from the top of a tower that is 49 meters high. How far from the base of the tower does it hit the ground? This is the hardest question I've ever encountered in my life. Please explain. Thanks everybody for the help.!! It is greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody! Thanks for the help, first of all. Now, I am actually beginning to understand the basic concepts of physics. I have a few more questions to ask... What do you mean when you use the term "proportional"? What is the purpose of mass in the "F=MA" function?? If the rate of acceleration due to gravity will be same for two objects having different mass, so why does the mass involve in the force which is being applied to cause acceleration? How does d=Vi(t)+1/2(a)(t)^2 function work and helps us to find out the actual distance. Thanks for the help again, guys...!! I shall post more questions if I find something incomprehensible.

Hello everyone! I have a few questions about motions. Here they are :-D What does it mean when you use the word "magnitude"? What is the difference between vector and scalar & displacement and distance? Please explain that with examples (if possible) becuse I already know the meanings of them... How do we work with velocity-time graph? Please explain these formulas in details: F=ma Thanks

Hey everyone! I have a goal to achieve. But whenever I get a chance to achive it, something forces me to change my plan and I change my mind. And after when I lose that chance, I say to myslef I wish I could achieve it but it is too late... So, is there any solution to such problem...??

Hey everyone! According to Darwin's theory, adopted characteristics or variations passed on to next generation. If it is true, so why not the child is armless if his/her mother or father was armless. As far as I know, mutation is needed to occur in gametes in order for variation to happen. And it is not neccessary that the mother or the father also had those variations.

There might be a difference or not. But I do not think there is any reason to burn the flag. A flag belongs to a nation and NOBODY should reserve the right to burn it or whatever. Also, you cannot judge a nation by only one person; it would be racism. The casue of everything that is happening all around the world is: "Lack of education".

An eye for an eye is not the answer. And how would you know that those who did that are Christians?? They could be Jewishs, Sikhs, or whatever....

hey everyone! I studied about the theory of evolution in my biology class today... but I could not understand how life begun... who was the first organism on this planet to live and from what group of species it was from....
