HHWG successfully hosted a five-session Physics F=ma Camp in November 2025

HHWG successfully hosted a five-session Physics F=ma Camp in November 2025. The sessions were held on October 26, November 2, November 9, November 16, and November 23, 2025, led by instructor Yufei Ye with assistance from Anthony Cao. We sincerely thank everyone who attended our camp.

Day 1 (October 26): F=ma Instructions and 2D Motion.

students were introduced to the basic rules of the F=ma exam. They practiced example problems surrounding 2D Motion, UAM equations, foundational physics concepts, as well as some force and energy questions. These practice problems were similar to the level of the actual exam.

Day 2 (November 2): F=ma Exam Weighting and Forces

Students reviewed the exam weightings for each physics unit in the F=ma exam. Afterwards, they were given practice problems mainly on forces, free body diagrams, foundational physics concepts, and some energy questions. Based on these, students could test their own skill level
and readiness for the exam.

Day 3 (November 9): Day 3 (November 9): Energy and Work

In Lesson 3, practice problems surrounding mainly energy, work, free body diagrams, and forces were given to challenge the students. These topics have the largest exam weighting percentages, and are crucial to being successful on the F=ma exam. Students learned important tips for solving these types of questions as well.

Day 4 (November 16): Rotation Students were provided with multiple F=ma problems mainly surrounding rotation, forces, torque, free body diagrams, and energy. Students were also given tips for solving problems on the exam to use their time efficiently and effectively.

Day 5 (November 23): Oscillations and Simple Harmonic Motion

In Lesson 5, students practiced multiple questions from F-ma exams on Simple
Harmonic Motion, period, frequency, and energy. They also learned the
importance of drawing diagrams and paths of motion. At the end, the
instructor and teaching assistant gave their own tips for the exam and
learning physics in general, and also discussed a bit about their past
experiences in this area of science.
