I am studying an honors physics textbook so I can try out for my school's science bowl team. Basically to make the team at my school, you have to be VERY good...you pretty much need to have it all memorized (due to the intense competition). The book I am studying is about 1000 pages long (with small print) and obviously covers a lot of material (and a lot of formulae).
Try outs start in December (or somewhere around that time). While that may seem like a lot of time, my scheduel during the school year (which starts in august) is really busy. So busy i pretty much don't have a life. I was wondering if anyone here can tell me the best way to study/"memorize" (I mean, to guarantee I know the subject matter like the back of my hand) the physics book.
****For those of u who don't know what the science bowl is: It is basically Jeopardy, except entirely for science related subjects. ***
The kinds of questions I should be able to answer within a span of seconds are conceptual problems and quantitative problems. an example:
conceptual:
List the mediums in order of which sound can travel the fastest: blah blah
blah (here you would be given a list of mediums)
quantitative: find the potential energy of a 10kg ball dropped from a hight of 20.
(of course they may be of a difficulty greater than this.)
So now to my point in posting here: I would like people to suggest questions that I could study.
thanx
