"Just ask Abby"

that's what my physics teacher told everyone in class today. apparently hardly anyone else in the class understands what we're doing. and we did this one problem today, and i did it, and then just sat there. and then she had me go and explain it to her and how i did it. so then apparently i had a really good handle on what we are doing. i should pause to say that my class has about 15 students in it, so it's rather small. before i knew it, several of my classmates were around me asking how in the world i did the problem. oh, and for those of interest, we're in the unit of "Vectors and Projectiles". except we're still on the Vectors part. this problem included head to tail addition, and solving components, which is when you make a few right triangles from the vectors, provided they're not horizontal or vertical. from the one right triangles you could figure out the other sides just by knowing the hypotenuse and one of the angles. in this particular problem that helped you with one of the sides of the R-value. and then you just subtract for the other side, Pythagorean theorem your way through, and there you go! well, then you need to find the angle touching the y-axis or something parallel to it.

so sorry if i just confused a bunch of you. anyways...i couldn't explain it to other people from my messy drawling. so i ended up just drawling it again, and doing each step at a time. as willing as i am to help my peers with these things, i don't think i want to become a teacher. but i'm not used to such power. i'm not usually the only 0ne in an entire class that "gets it". it's quite strange. but i'm sure this won't last for long. it'll probably be a week or two before everyone is asking someone else for help. and that's perfectly fine.
