Physics teacher | Experienced educator in USA
I hold a degree in Physics from The American College of Financial Services. With a passion for unraveling the mysteries of the universe, I bring a deep understanding of physics concepts to my teaching. From classical mechanics to quantum theory, I strive to make complex topics accessible and engaging for my students. With a dedication to fostering a supportive learning environment, I aim to empower students to excel in their academic pursuits and develop a lifelong love for physics. Let's explore the wonders of the universe together.
Questions

A man wearing a bulletproof vest stands still on roller skates. The total mass is 80 kg. A bullet of mass 20 grams is fired at 400 m/s. It is stopped by the vest and falls to the ground. What is the velocity of the man?
An object with a mass of # 2 kg# is traveling in a circular path of a radius of #2 m#. If the object's angular velocity changes from # 2 Hz# to # 5 Hz# in # 1 s#, what torque was applied to the object?
A spring with a constant of #12 (kg)/s^2# is lying on the ground with one end attached to a wall. An object with a mass of #6 kg# and speed of #3 m/s# collides with and compresses the spring until it stops moving. How much will the spring compress?
