It's Exam 2 today in #PHYS1303. Uniform circular motion, relative motion, and Newton's Laws. Time to get your "Newt on"? I am relatively sure this is going to go great for the students? My puns are centripetal because they go around in circles? Somebody decelerate me. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/976813725951905792/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49194

My #PHYS1303 students got a practice exam today, to help them prep for Exam 2. The exam includes a Star Wars-themed problem about Rey, Kylo, and Snoke fighting over a lightsaber. You are welcome. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/974398167084040193/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48985

Jupiter's amazing polar cyclone horde, each stormlet being about the size of the United States. #PHYS1303 https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2018/03/jupiter-nasa-juno-cyclones-picture-space-science/

Today in #PHYS1303, we begin to explore centripetal force and close out this brief foray into Newton's Laws. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/971726367997022209/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48807

Gabrielle Emilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise Du Chatelet: kinetic energy goes as the square of the speed of an object. This discovery set the stage for reformulating mechanics in terms of energy and energy conservation. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/971725783675887621/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48804

Excited to take a crack at recreating Emilie Du Chatelet's experiments this week. #PHYS1303

I had a lot of fun shooting the experiment demonstration videos for "Deeper into Forces". Rediscovering the empirical laws of friction with a force meter, string, and some iron is satisfying and exhilarating. #PHYS1303

After a ridiculously productive week @CERN working with @SMU and @ATLASexperiment colleagues, it's time to head home and resume my campus duties. Thanks to @profcooley for covering my class. This coming week in #PHYS1303: Newton's Laws, Newton's Laws, NEWTON'S LAWS! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/967646982398447616/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48580

Today in #PHYS1303, we explore projectile motion. We'll combine math and live demonstration; explore the realities and myths of "hang time" in basketball; and maybe look at a current event.

Today we begin to explore motion in more than 1 dimension in #PHYS1303. "Shapes and forms Against the norms Against the run of the mill Swimming against the stream Life in two dimensions Is a mass production scheme" Rush, "Grand Designs" https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/960860637747347457/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/48110

Today in #PHYS1303, we grapple with mathematical descriptions of change in more than one dimension. We dig into vectors and apply them to the cosmos. "And what do we think about Vector? \\ Boo!!" ("Minion Mambo" from the "Despicable Me" soundtrack) https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/959048704794619904/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47907

You have been warned, #PHYS1303 students. This will appear at the beginning of class today. :-) https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/958344569250308097/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47827

Today in #PHYS1303, we'll begin exploring acceleration in 1 dimension. Life is pretty boring without change. So would be the whole universe.

Is my mashup of Rey and Kylo Ren fighting the Praetorian Guard to the tune of "Could Have Been Me" by The Struts going to be featured in #PHYS1303 today? Um. Yeah. But seriously, there is a physics moment key to today's class. Don't miss the beginning of class today!

Today in #PHYS1303, we'll begin to apply the description of motion in just 1 spatial dimension to learn to solve problems involving such motion. "Now the world is gone, I'm just one." Aw, it's not that bad. If you want to understand all 3, begin with 1.

Students enrolled in #PHYS1303: I look forward to working with you this semester, but make sure you read Bulletin 1 to know what is already expected by the start of class on day 1 (1/23). We will hit the ground running! http://www.physics.smu.edu/sekula/phys1303/bulletin1.html https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/954756185072328704/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47624

This is beginning to come together nicely. Flipped classroom are heavy on the frontend but light on the backend. Clawing my way to the backend... #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/950164054185861121/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47045
