Does anyone know where i can find good physics problems

In summary, the conversation discusses the difficulty of homework and tests in physics 12 and asks for recommendations on websites or books with challenging problems in topics such as kinematics, dynamics, and work and energy. Some suggestions include Hyperphysics and the book "Problems in General Physics" by I.E. Irodov, which focuses on conceptual understanding.

Hi, I am going into physics 12 and my teachers homework is nothing like the test. the homework is easy and the test are hard. Does anyone of you guys know websites where i can find challenging problems for physics 12. (Kinematics, Dynamics, Work and energy..?)

Welcome to the PF -- maybe check out the Example Problems at Hyperphysics:

I don't know of websites, but a good book I CAN recommend for elementary Physics problems, it has plenty of problems of all kinds, definitely worth a try imo:

I. E. Irodov Problems in General Physics 1988

It currently focuses on concept questions to help solidify conceptual understanding, which makes challenging questions easier to approach.

I would recommend looking for resources from reputable educational institutions or organizations such as universities or physics societies. These resources often have a wide range of physics problems at different levels of difficulty. Additionally, you can also look for textbooks or study guides specifically designed for physics 12 that have practice problems and solutions. It may also be helpful to seek guidance from your teacher or classmates for additional resources or practice problems. Remember, practicing a variety of problems is key to mastering any subject, so don't be afraid to challenge yourself and try problems that may seem difficult at first. Good luck in your studies!
