=Welcome to FAQPhysics!= This is a collaborative effort. Anyone may ask a question by simply typing it on the relevant page. Anyone may answer, revise, update, append to, etc. the question. Pages should be organized by topic (i.e., Homework Helper, Newton's Laws, Optics, etc.). The page you are on now is for questions of a general nature. Click on the "discussion" tab to go to a physics lesson topic.

Q: How do I get an EID for the University of Texas, and enroll in the Quest online homework service?

Q: What's the difference between AP Physics B and AP Physics A?
A: The main difference is that AP Physics C covers fewer topics in more depth, and is calculus based. A complete checklist showing the differences in topics covered can be found by clicking on [|ap05_phys_objectives_45859.pdf]. Although APC is calculus based, the degree to which calculus is used in the first semester Mechanics course is minimal. In APC seperate tests are given for the first and second semester. Students may earn college credit for one or both semesters. Students who take APB may also test for APC. With some extra study it is possible to pass the first semester Mechanics course for APC based on learning APB (and with some extra help and extra study outside of class).

**Q: How can we make the most of "deep processing" when learning from out text book?** A: We will start a new discussion for each new chapter. As students run into difficulties while learning outside of class, they will enter questions in the discussion area for that chapter. Other students may respond in the wiki, and the teacher will also lead a discussion in class the next day. Just click on the subject (i.e., 11. Torque and Equilibrium) and enter your question. Do NOT send emails to jjmorin ... click on the subject heading and enter questions in the wiki.
