I hold a degree in Physics from Eastern Mennonite University. With a passion for unraveling the mysteries of the universe, I thrive on sharing my knowledge with students. From classical mechanics to quantum theory, I offer clear explanations and engaging lessons to foster deep understanding. Let's explore the wonders of physics together, tackling questions across various subjects.
Questions

How does physics relate to nursing?
A ball with a mass of #6 kg # and velocity of #5 m/s# collides with a second ball with a mass of #1 kg# and velocity of #- 7 m/s#. If #50%# of the kinetic energy is lost, what are the final velocities of the balls?
