Electric fields

It's been a bumpy start to the new year, but I hope you're starting to feel a little more comfortable with the concept of electric fields. They're an important foundation for everything else we do this quarter (and next!), so make sure you get them figured out sooner rather than later. :)

I'll see you in class.

Returning to School

Hello, all, and welcome back to school as we return from having missed a few days due to the Eaton Fire.

We'll be easing back into things over the course of the next days and weeks. If you have any concerns around your participation in this class, particularly as affected by the fire and/or your living situation, please feel free to reach out.

I'll see you in class.

Happy New Year!

Congratulations on (nearly!) completing the first semester of our course. The exam scores have been posted, and you should be seeing the scores for your Rolling Objects labs posted in a day or two. Go, you!

We'll mark the return to school with a few days learning about Universal Gravitation, an important unit in its own right, but also one that will teach us some powerful analysis tools that we can apply next semester. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of it!

See you in class!

Thanksgiving!

Oof, we've been pushing pretty hard! It'll be good to take a well-deserved break for Thanksgiving week. You've earned it!

In the meantime, we're continuing to work on fixed-axis rotation, and (this week) rolling objects.

See you in class!

Welcome back!

You've had a week "off" of sorts, and I hope you got some rest in the midst of all the college-app stuff. Look on the bright side: next year you will be in college someplace amazing, and I'll still be back here at Poly!

We've been working hard at Newton's Laws, and will be taking a test on Friday, Oct 5. Keep your free-body diagrams close at hand—they'll make all the difference. :)

See you in class!

It's Back to School Night!

Good luck on your free-body diagrams and homework this evening. I'll see you Friday afternoon for our first lab on Newton's Second Law!

See you in class.

See you soon!

If you're here, it's probably because you're going to be taking AP Physics C with Mr. White during the 2024-2025 school year.

Welcome!

As part of your Summer Review assignment, you'll want to take a look at the information here. Make sure you get everything taken care of by the time we first meet on Wednesday, Aug 21. (Geez, just a week away as I write this!) If you have any questions regarding any of that, don't hesitate to email me!

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Happy Summer!

The website is in the process of being updated for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, and will be a little more functional at the beginning of August when the Summer Review Assignment begins.

Until then, I hope you're having a great summer!
