F=ma

[myanmar]

I'd like a lot of good F=ma problems (with solutions, preferably) so that I can practice for the Physics Olympiad qualifying test over break.

I like online resources. Please link to relevant questions from the homework section, etc off this forum if you could.

I also have access to some books, so you'll need to tell me what I should read (for a better understanding of the topics) and what problems I should do out of any/all of these books.

Feynman Lectures on Physics
Fundamentals of Physics 4th Edition (Halliday)
Fundamentals of Physics 7th Edition (Halliday)
Physics: Algebra/Trig 2nd Edition (Hecht)
Physics 5th Edition (Giancoli)
Princeton Review Guide AP Physics C 2008
Princeton Review Guide AP Physics B and C 2004 - 2005


I will buy books if they will help me more. If this is the case, please tell me.

From Fundamentals of Physics Halliday books I would recommend going over the two chapters that deal with Newton's Laws, The Law of Conversation Energy and Work, and Circular Motion. That should keep you busy for awhile.

I have actually read all but one of those chapters (work and energy) and am going over that with the book in class this week. (My Physics C class uses the 4th edition).

I've only done ~10 problems from each chapter. Is it useful to do them all?

About 10 each chapter is good. That's why my instructor assigned to us when I took Physics this year. If you want to get some practice in do as much as you feel like until you get a feel for the theory associated with the problem. This is important to do because in later chapters the more challenge problems incorporate what you learned in the earlier chapter coupled with the new material.
