Thank you so much for your help. I finally understand tension, and I think I was dealing with acceleration wrong, too. I'm just always so impressed when someone is so willing to give help. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation-I noticed the care that went into it.

About KET Distance Learning
KET Distance Learning has grown and changed over the years, but one thing has remained constant: our belief that students learn best when they interact personally with a well-qualified and attentive teacher. To keep those personal contacts front and center, our full-time teachers and staff are always available by email and phone during school hours. This commitment to a personal approach to education contrasts sharply with most distance learning programs, which generally offer students only minimal opportunities to communicate directly with their teachers.
In 1989, Kentucky Educational Television-Kentucky's statewide public television network-premiered its first distance learning class, broadcast live by satellite to schools nationwide. In the years since, KET Distance Learning has evolved from a television-based service to a diverse, flexible program that combines interactive, online components with digital multi-media to provide lively, relevant, standards-based instruction.
Students can now choose from 11 classes:
- Humanities through the Arts
- Latin I, Latin II, Latin III and Latin Literature
- German I, German II, and German III
- Physics, Honors Physics, and AP® Physics B, which includes exciting, new, interactive Virtual Physics Labs©.
Most KET courses require an onsite facilitator, who assists students, monitors their progress, and proctors tests. If problems or questions arise, onsite facilitators-like their students-have quick and easy email or phone access to the KET teacher, a class tutor, or one of our staff members.
