New #physics video (with #python). Two balls are thrown up with the same speed. One of them has a drag force and the other does not. Which one gets to the highest point first? youtu.be/ACkzjcWySbg

I gave a talk to the freshmen #physics majors today. Here's one of the slides I made to talk about the process of learning and how to deal with difficult courses. I'm not a great wizard, but I did finish graduate school. We all started out as freshmen.
