My name is Bonnie and I just joined this forum after a few weeks of searching for some help in solving some problems.

At some point, I hope I can be of help to others but for now, I'm navigating in a science as this is my first physics course EVER (college level).

Thank you, Greg! I've certainly been able to gleen some much needed information from this site. Physics is pretty rough for me as I never took it (waaaaay back) in high school. Math was a very tough struggle for me. Much of this is very new and rather scary right now.
