This is a reminder that algebra based college physics is just kinda of trust me, this is the equation that works. This was the case before pandemic. For some reasons colleges decided that they don't want to have a calculus as requirement (usually for medical/bio fields) but they need some physics education so they came up with this invention.

Now this, I don't think this will end well on a generation level. Although it is now easier to close this knowledge gap on individuals level as they have access to a lot of online free content that can easily help with that.
