AP Physics B Problems

This mural is funny because it's a complicated way to go about solving a problem that has a few helpful tips but mostly just asks if you can solve the problem yet. It may also be alluding to a Verizon commercial where a worker goes around to remote places, asking into his phone 'Can you hear me now?' which is similar to 'Can you solve the problem, now?'

Mural reads: Problem Solving Strategy: AP Physics B Problems. (green arrow) yes (red arrow) no. Follow the appropriately-colored arrow, according to the answer to each question. (graphic organizer, from left to right, top to bottom):

Can you solve the problem? Did you write out the givens and applicable equations, draw a diagram (especially free body) and THINK about the problem? Can you solve the problem?

Ask Curtis. Silly! Do that.

Did you ask 'which equation do I use?' Have you asked Curtis? Did you say 'I don't get it?'

Silly! Ask a real question. Ask a smart classmate. You didn't ask a question. Explain what you don't understand and ask a real question. Consult the solution manual.

Can you solve the problem? Can you solve the problem, now? Can you solve the problem, NOW?

Is your answer correct? (check the back of the book or the solution manual) Problem solved! QED W^5 :) Who cares? You tried

FYI, QED is an abbreviation for Latin 'quod erat demonstrandum,' which means 'that which was to be demonstrated' and is often put at the end of proofs in math and science. W^5 is another, less official way of saying this; it stands for Which Was What We Wanted (5 w's).
