Physics Tutor
Physics is the
study of matter through space and time, dealing with energy and
force. It’s an analysis of nature and we use it to understand how
the universe works. Physics is another one of those classes that
students tend to struggle with. A lot of schools are offering
physics AP classes and many students decided to take the class so
they can have a jump start on earning their college or university
units while in high school. A similar science to chemistry, physics
tests your analytical skills. You’re expected to learn several
basic rules and formulas but are required to be able to apply them
to a vast array of different word problems. At Los Angeles Tutor,
we have a good understanding of physics and are able to help our
students avoid the pitfalls of the subject that many students
struggle with. We believe that a good physics tutor should be able
to explain the concepts in a matter in which the student can really
understand and conceptualize. Remember, there is a lot more to
physics than just memorization…..you have to be able to apply what
you’ve learned. As with a lot of challenging high school courses,
keeping up with your school work will payoff in the long run. Make
sure you dedicate 1-2 hours a day going over your physics lecture
notes, reviewing the book and working out problems. The more
problems you do, the more comfortable you will become with the
material and thus, be more successful on exams. Below, you will
find some common physics formulas to help guide you through your
course. When working through problems using the equations below,
make sure you have the correct units for the answer you’re looking
for. Write out all the units for all the variables you’re using to
make sure your answer has the units you’re looking for. Below the
area of formulas, you will find some helpful links to other websites
that can provide you with additional physics practice problems and
show students how to work through various physics questions. Los
Angeles Tutor has put together a great team of in home tutors in
your area to help with physics.

tutor in the Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, West Los
Angeles, Santa Monica and Westwood areas.
Position = Velocity * time
Velocity =
acceleration * time =
distance / time
Force =
Mass * Acceleration
Weight =
Mass * Gravity
Density = Mass /
Volume
Acceleration =
Velocity / Time
Momentum = Mass

Energy = Ek = .5mv2
Potential Energy =
Ep
= m*g*h
To find the
distance an object has traveled when it is thrown:
y = vt - gt2/2
Where:
y = distance traveled
v = velocity of the object
g = gravity
t = time
The Splung website
offers students a comprehensive database of physics concepts and
has available a physics forum to ask questions and to be able to
read what others are saying about their physics problems.
The Physics Classroom
website offers high school physics students an online physics
tutorial and has a collection of pages with questions and
answers for more physics practice.
