Jacobs Physics Podcast S2 ep 2: 2018 AP Physics 1 problem 3, torque on a spinning disk

This week we discuss an AP Physics 1 question involving rotational motion graphs, N2L for rotation (or the rotational impulse momentum theorem), and a qualitative-quantitative translation.

Jacobs Physics Podcast S2 ep2.

Digressions include:

* Teaching angular kinematics without "teaching" angular kinematics;
* Moving on with your class, even if students are still getting things wrong;
* Dealing with "no fair, we never covered a question like this in class";
* teaching the qualitative-quantitative translation
* Mail Time!

If you have a question you'd like featured in Mail Time, please leave a comment on this post, or email me directly.  Enjoy!
