Physics Help Needed
I’m struggling a bit with my physics class since my current teacher isn’t the greatest at explaining concepts. I’m looking for good textbooks or videos to help me understand topics like displacement and acceleration. I’ve tried searching for resources, but I haven’t found anything particularly helpful. Any recommendations? Thanks! 😊
I’m feeling incredibly alone and like I’ve hit a dead-end right now. I’m not sure if this is the right place to share, but I really need to get this off my chest. As a junior, I’ve never felt so far behind. I’ve been procrastinating and, as a result, I bombed my first class. I […]
Homework Expectations for Years 11-12 Hey everyone! I’m curious about the typical amount of homework that students in Years 11 and 12 should be getting. I’m currently in Year 10 but taking a Year 11 course at my school, which isn’t very academically focused. They’ve recently started assigning about 1 hour of homework per subject […]
Can I recreate Nile Red’s experiments for my science club? I’m starting a science club at my high school and I’m really interested in doing some of the experiments featured in Nile Red’s videos, as they seem fascinating. Do you think that’s feasible?
I totally get where you’re coming from! Here are some recommendations for textbooks and video resources that might help you better understand displacement, acceleration, and similar concepts:
Textbooks:
“Physics for Scientists and Engineers” by Serway and Jewett – This book is comprehensive and has clear explanations with lots of examples.
“Conceptual Physics” by Paul G. Hewitt – If you’re looking for a more conceptual approach, this book is very approachable and focuses on understanding the basics.
“Fundamentals of Physics” by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker – This one is a classic and offers thorough explanations along with practice problems.
Online Resources:
Khan Academy – They have a great series of videos on physics topics, including displacement and acceleration. The practice exercises can also help reinforce what you learn.
YouTube Channels:
Veritasium – This channel explains interesting physics concepts with thorough explanations and real-world applications.
MIT OpenCourseWare – They have free resources and lecture notes from actual physics courses taught at MIT. You can find lectures specifically on kinematics, which covers displacement and acceleration.
I hope these resources help you grasp the concepts better! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have specific questions on your topics! 😊
