Solving a physics problem is . . .
A. . . . meant to happen very quickly, as long as you have memorized the correct equation and answer.
B. . . . a basic "plug-and-chug" process, in which you are given some numbers, you "plug" them into an equation, and an answer is given.
C. . . . a step-by-step process that takes time, and is essential for learning physics concepts.
D. . . . an optional activity, not really required in order to understand the physics concepts.
