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! 😊
In just one morning, 57 students at my school were dress coded. To give you some context, our school is of average size and located in a smaller town. We have metal detectors at the entrance, and students who drive enter through one door, while those who take the bus use another. On the driving […]
Should I be concerned about my SAT score? I’m a senior in high school, and I’ve never been a strong test taker, although I usually manage to get A’s and B’s in my classes. I knew my SAT score wasn’t great, but I had an eye-opening moment today while scrolling through Instagram. I saw people […]
Are you interested in hosting an exchange student in your home? The high school exchange student program has been running since the 1960s, initiated by the Department of State to foster goodwill between countries. Each year, thousands of students travel to various states for this enriching experience! You have the opportunity to select a student […]
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! 😊
