SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources to help understand Newton's Laws for solving physics problems, specifically for a student who missed class. The user, Brad, seeks detailed explanations and guidance on forming equations related to Newton's Laws. He shares links to various resources, including the Hypertextbook and ThinkQuest, but emphasizes the need for more comprehensive materials to aid in problem-solving. The urgency is highlighted by an upcoming test on Thursday.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion
  • Basic algebra skills for equation formulation
  • Familiarity with physics problem-solving techniques
  • Access to online educational resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore detailed tutorials on Newton's Laws from educational websites
  • Investigate online physics forums for problem-solving strategies
  • Utilize video lectures on platforms like Khan Academy for visual explanations
  • Search for local or online tutoring services specializing in physics
USEFUL FOR

Students struggling with physics concepts, educators seeking teaching resources, and anyone preparing for physics exams who needs a deeper understanding of Newton's Laws.

Ok first off I am posting this for my GF she missed a day of class and has become lost on some of the things that were covered that day I have done every search I can think of and come up with nothing... I am going to post a few scans from the problems she and I cannot figure out for the life of me..

We have tried everything we can think of and every search we can think of. I am not trying to get answers because that won't help her with her test on thursday if anyone can direct me to what I should be searching for or any link with a detailed explanation of these problems and how to form the equation. We have found some of the information in tutorials on Newton's Laws but nothing detailed enough to solve the problems or even begin to form the equations..

I know this is probibley a long show that anyone will be able to respond in time but its really a last hope we can't even find a tutor for Physics in our area.

Thank you very much Brad...
