Hey everyone we're trying to keep everything as orderly as possible, which is probably a fool's errand. To stop things from getting too out of hand we ask
- Keep content you add to the appropriate section
- Arial font size 14
- On bullets. Post description of content - link to content.
- keep it clean...
Example Problems
- Here is the link to a PDF problem set containing eleven fundamental practice problems pertaining to our study of rotational kinematics. The problem set shows detailed, worked solutions and provides answers. -npsd.k12.nj.us/cms/lib04/NJ01001216/Centricity/Domain/474/Angular%20Kinematics%20REVIEW%20PROBLEMS%20ANSWERS.pdf
- Here is the link to an interesting PDF problem set regarding rotational kinematic analysis of track and field events, including discus and hammer throw. There are four problems with worked solutions and answers for each problem. -biomechanics.byu.edu/exsc362(hunter)/sampleproblems/Sample%20questions%20chapter%208%20with%20answers.pdf
