In this experiment, a moving cart collides with a stationary “force sensor.” The force sensor measures the collision force as it varies with time throughout the collision. A motion sensor detects the position of the cart versus time, enabling its velocity to be calculated as a function of time. The computer graphs force versus time, and also the cart’s velocity versus time.…

: As a first year college student I think that adjusting to college would be one of the hardest things for me to do. Making the transition into a new environment and new relationships with new people is not the easiest thing to do when you have adapted to certain people almost all your life. I will be expected to adapt to an unfamiliar environment, adjust to different living arrangements, and develop new relationships. Living with roommates may be the first ‘test’ of my freshmen experience. I will have to face the challenge of adjusting to roommates who may have very different boundaries and individual needs than family and friends from home. My roommates and I may or may not develop close friendships, but communication and compromise can build a smoother transition. College brings a unique opportunity to interact and live with people from various backgrounds and cultures. Expanding my worldview by learning about each other’s differences and similarities will likely enhance my college…

Living on your own sounds great, but sadly you have to room with someone your first year if you are staying in the dorms on campus. Mostly "every college student will have to deal with roommate issues" (Gates). You may have a roommate that is dirty, likes to party too much, or someone you just won't get along with. Being frustrated with your roommate might make you miss home. A lot of college "student will at one point get homesick" (Gates). A student said one of their biggest fears is attending college "16 hours away from home" (Lyon). Along with the social and emotional issues with college, "college courses require much more effort" (Gates). College work will be a lot harder than high school. You will be stressed and worn out. There are negative possibilities attending…

Coming to college was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only has it matured me but it has also taught me things about myself that I never knew. Not only is it a new experience, but an entirely different atmosphere from the high school life. My first semester here at North Carolina Central University was overwhelming. I found myself being busier than I’ve ever been. But, it was all for the good. I learned how to be productive and manage my time more effectively.…

My overall freshman experience was very different in comparison to my 1st semester. I originally enrolled at North Carolina Central University in the Fall of 2014. So coming back was bittersweet because I was already familiar with the basics of living on campus and the structure of classes, but I still had to get use to the changes of being in college again. I am thankful that I have a strong support system because it makes the challenges you face in college a lot easier. Some of the struggles you may face financially was thankfully taken care of by my family, so I would not have to get a job and have that interfere with my schoolwork. I also have friends who help keep me on track. They definitely are an important factor when it comes to my college…

I was really excited to go on college by the time I step on the stage and got my diploma. During college applications, I would always think of what college has to offer far from high school. I would imagine myself walking around the university’s corridor from building to building, meeting new and unfamiliar faces, involving into different school activities and enjoying a lot of my free time. I would also see myself in a more mature role as a Mass Communication student of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila which is I think a big challenge. However, I fear that college might be hard for me as a freshman. I wonder who are going to be my friends, will I be with the good ones or the other way around, what type of professors I’ll be dealing with, where should I and most importantly, how can I cope up with these changes that I can’t even sleep that night before our first day of school. And these are the things I’ve encountered so far.…
