Finding Average Speed for Pole Position: Example Problem - Not as easy as you may think

[@OkOk-hi7ih]

This is a really amazing job you did. If more people spent time making clear, well made educational youtubes on topics such as chemistry , calculus, and other subjects, this could revolutionize the educational system as we know it. There would be less of a need to print out the requisite 300 page physics textbook which , lets face it, most students don't read anyway. This is a very engaging and immersive first step into the subject, i will recommend it to my peers struggling with physics. I'm going to watch all your physics videos. Looking forward to seeing future subjects. p.s. i sent a donation

+Ok Ok You rock! Thank you very much for the donation. Love your support. I'll keep making videos.

Bo at 4:12, Thanks for your videos the effort has been in the videos is not describable it's really the best thing I ever watched.

[@FlippingPhysics]

Thanks. Glad to help you learn!

Hello! I believe the correct answer is actually 234.3 (Billy mentions this number at 12:16) . I double checked by solving two different ways and came to the same conclusion. Perhaps you accidentally switched the second and third digits when writing it on the board? Please let me know if this is correct or if I am mistaken.

[@FlippingPhysics]

You have the correct answer. I wrote it incorrectly on the board and, sadly, KZbin does not allow uploads of corrected videos.

[@kitca.t]

@@FlippingPhysics Oh I see, no worries. Thanks for letting me know! Also, my physics teacher often shows us your videos to learn numerous physics concepts. Just wanted to say you do an incredibly amazing job! I appreciate your passion and commitment to physics, it is truly admirable.

[@Shauryousee]

Your lectures are really somethin else....!!❤ Love from India sir...!

[@FlippingPhysics]

Glad to help!

[@Anveshkrishna]

Your vids are TRULY GREAT AND INFORMATIVE!!🎉🎉 ).

Well, I didn't really understand the sig figs part at 13:19. Any further explanation, please?

[@joanferreira3896]

This is a very good one. Thank you

[@geeblenhoff1]

so, if doing the common mistake ended up working out to be the right answer did it just so happen to work for this one example and that it is the wrong technique for how to solve this type of problem in general?

[@FlippingPhysics]

I am sorry, however, I am confused by your question. The correct answer is 234.3 and the incorrect answer one gets when doing the common mistake is 234.0. Note: Those two answers are not the same. Which is why I do not understand your question. I discuss exactly what is wrong with the common mistake at 10:45.

[@geeblenhoff1]

oh okay, yes my mistake I just rounded off my answer to 234 when I did the problem. physics answers are very precise much more so then my math classes. I'm going to have to take more care in looking at sig figs and not just rounding off my answers. by the way thank u so much for taking ur time to answer my questions. I am learning a lot from ur videos!

[@FlippingPhysics]

+Stephen Mullins In physics we don't round until the answer. Rounding in the middle of a problem often results in an incorrect answer. Glad to help you learn my friend. 🙂

Not as hard as I thought!(Because before I solved the problem, I was really scared and nervous😂)I focused on solving the problem, and it wasn't too hard.

[@FlippingPhysics]

I am glad it was not too hard for you!
