Problem Solving and Advanced Kinematics/Dynamics

$$\text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} = \frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$$

A straight line means constant speed. A curved line means the speed is changing — the object is accelerating. A steeper curve means faster speed at that moment; a flat horizontal section means the object has stopped.

Problem Solving and Advanced Kinematics/Dynamics

You'll learn to chain together motion graphs, F = ma, and stopping-distance equations to solve multi-step physics problems. You'll see why braking distance and lift both grow with speed squared, not speed itself. By the end, you can work through a full "speeding car" or "aircraft in flight" question without getting stuck on which formula to use first.

<<>>

Real-World Applications of Forces and Motion

You'll learn how to read distance-time graphs, calculate acceleration and stopping distances, and understand why planes fly using balanced and unbalanced forces. You'll connect simple machines and force calculations (F = ma) to real situations like braking cars and aircraft wings. By the end, you can solve numeric problems and explain why things move the way they do.

Real-World Applications of Forces and Motion

A distance-time graph plots how far an object has travelled against time. The gradient (slope) of the line tells you the speed:

$$\text{speed} = \frac{\text{change in distance}}{\text{change in time}}$$

A straight line means constant speed. A curve means the speed is changing — the object is accelerating. A flat horizontal line means the object has stopped (distance isn't changing, so speed = 0).

Work, Energy, and Simple Machines

You'll learn how "work" has a strict physics meaning: force times distance in the direction of motion. You'll see how energy transfers between forms while the total stays constant, and how simple machines don't create energy — they trade force for distance. By the end, you can calculate work, mechanical advantage, and efficiency for real tools.

Work, Energy, and Simple Machines

Work happens when a force moves something — no movement, no work, no matter how hard you push. Simple machines don't create energy; they trade force for distance (or vice versa) so you can do the same job with less effort. By the end you'll calculate work, mechanical advantage, and efficiency, and know why no machine is ever 100% efficient.

Introduction to Forces and Newton's Laws

First Law (Inertia): An object stays at rest, or keeps moving at a constant velocity in a straight line, unless a net force acts on it. This is why you lurch forward when a car brakes suddenly — your body wants to keep moving even though the car has stopped. Inertia depends on mass: a loaded truck resists changes to its motion far more than a bicycle.

Introduction to Forces and Newton's Laws

Forces are pushes or pulls that change how things move, measured in newtons. Newton's three laws tell you when objects stay still or speed up, how much force is needed to do that, and why every push gets pushed back. By the end you'll calculate forces, accelerations, and resultant forces confidently.

Review

Roediger and Karpicke's 2006 study is the classic evidence. Students who studied a passage once and then took three practice recall tests remembered 61% of it a week later. Students who reread the same passage four times remembered only 40% — even though the rereaders felt more confident during the study session. The group that felt worse about their learning actually learned more. This gap between felt confidence and real performance is the single biggest trap in exam prep.

Deep Dive (Deep Study Sessions)

• Shallow (structural) processing — noticing what a word looks like or sounds like. Example: highlighting a sentence because it's in bold.
• Intermediate (phonemic) processing — noticing how it sounds, rhymes, or is pronounced. Example: reading notes aloud without engaging the meaning.
• Deep (semantic) processing — engaging with meaning: relating it to other concepts, generating examples, asking why it's true.

Review

The fix is retrieval practice: close the book, and force your brain to produce the answer before checking it. Concretely, this looks like:

• Flashcards where you say the answer out loud before flipping the card.
• Closing your notes and writing down everything you remember about a topic (a "brain dump"), then checking what you missed.
• Doing practice problems from memory, not with the worked example open next to you.

Deep Dive: Studying for Depth, Not Just Exposure

In 1972, psychologists Fergus Craik and Robert Lockhart proposed the levels-of-processing theory: memory isn't a separate "shallow store" and "deep store" — it's a byproduct of how you process information. The deeper (more meaningful) the processing, the stronger and longer-lasting the memory trace.

Intro to Effective Study Habits for Exams

Rereading notes and highlighting textbooks are the two most common study habits — and two of the least effective, according to decades of cognitive psychology research (Dunlosky et al., 2013, Psychological Science in the Public Interest). Here's the problem: when you reread something, your brain recognizes it. "Oh yeah, I remember this." That recognition feels like knowledge. But recognition and recall are different cognitive processes.

Intro to Effective Study Habits for Exams

You'll learn why most studying feels productive but isn't, and what actually moves information into long-term memory. You'll get the three evidence-backed pillars — retrieval, spacing, and interleaving — plus a mental model for planning any exam prep from scratch. By the end, you'll know exactly what to do differently in your next study session.

Repaso General e Integração de Conceitos

Esta nota conecta as grandes escolas da história da psicologia — estruturalismo, funcionalismo, psicanálise, behaviorismo, Gestalt e humanismo — mostrando como cada uma nasceu como reação à anterior. Você vai entender o fio condutor que liga Wundt a Skinner e a Rogers. No final, terá um mapa mental único para revisar a matéria toda antes da prova.

<<>>

Repaso General e Integração de Conceitos

Este é o momento de parar de ver a história da psicologia como uma lista de nomes soltos e começar a vê-la como uma rede de respostas, cada escola reagindo à anterior. Você vai aprender a conectar estruturalismo, funcionalismo, psicanálise, behaviorismo, gestalt e cognitivismo através de três eixos: contexto histórico, método e objeto de estudo. Ao final, conseguirá argumentar por que cada escola surgiu, não só quando.

Impacto y Reflexión Crítica del Conductismo Watsoniano

Vas a entender por qué el manifiesto de Watson de 1913 cambió para siempre qué cuenta como "ciencia" en psicología. Verás su legado real (desde la terapia conductual hasta el experimento del "Pequeño Albert") y también sus límites éticos y teóricos. Al final podrás argumentar, con ejemplos concretos, qué ganó y qué perdió la psicología al rechazar la introspección.

Impacto y Reflexión Crítica del Conductismo Watsoniano

El conductismo de Watson transformó la psicología en una ciencia centrada en conducta observable, dejando un legado metodológico enorme pero también críticas éticas y teóricas serias. Vas a entender por qué "Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It" (1913) fue un parteaguas, y qué heredaron (y rechazaron) Skinner, el cognitivismo y la neurociencia actual. También verás los límites del experimento del "Pequeño Albert" como caso de estudio crítico.

Evidencia Experimental y Aplicaciones del Conductismo Clásico

Vas a entender cómo Pavlov demostró el condicionamiento clásico con perros y saliva, y cómo Watson lo llevó a emociones humanas con el pequeño Albert. También verás cómo esa evidencia se tradujo en terapias reales, como la desensibilización sistemática de Wolpe. Al final sabrás distinguir estímulo, respuesta y generalización en cualquier ejemplo nuevo.
