coincidentally, my homework are the ones he is demonstrating. Luck = 100

WE ARE HAVING AN EXAM ABOUT THIS THING TOMORROW! PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR BRAIN JUST FOR TOMORROW HAHAHAHA KIDDING. THANK YOU SM, IM GATEKEEPING THIS YT CHANNEL. OUR TEACHER JUST TAUGHT US HOW TO SOLVE IT USING THE "SHIFT SOLVE" IN CALCULATOR, LIKE HELLOOO?😓 THANK YOU SM SIR❤

Hello professor, how can you use the protractor each time without first drawing the coordinate system? Angle measurements without properly drawing coordinate axes would contain slight error

Another superb video. I am enjoying this whole lockdown period, mainly because of these your videos. I am improving my Physics knowledge, thanks to you.

Thank you, I will practices in the exam room.

thank you for this! it really help me a lot 😭😭

Hi, where did you get the resultant magnitude 2.3km?? 2:32

[allyzafaithavendano]

hello how does the 25 degree became 205 degree, I hope your response. It helps me a lot. Btw our teacher share this video to us, and it’s clear explanation, but I don’t get it the 25 degree became 205 degree :((

[macauraohamdi]

I guess this guy is my new organic chemistry

[eric-ovqs]

is there a way to solve for the resultant if there is more than 3 vectors bcuz my teacher gave us 5 vectors to solve for it resultant

[yeshhhaneesah]

I don't understand how u get 40° for vector B. Vector C too. Do you mind explaining that. Thank you:)

Aren't you supposed to locate them in their quadrants?

[sarahkimani]

this was so helpful but damn you need a manicure respectfully
