How did you find PF?
searched for some example problems on google :)
So excited to learn more about physics and to further my understanding! :partytime:
This seems like a nice little corner of the internet. :]

Hello and :welcome: !

At least it is a corner free of conspiracy posts and crackpottery!

Have fun (although the nerdy humor here isn't always as funny as people might think) and stay curious!

You are invited to ask questions if you don't understand something in your class. Just make sure you tell us what you have tried so far and where you got stuck. We are not good at answers to "I have no idea." but pretty good in calculations.

There are many physicists on this site but not everyone is one. I'm a mathematician, others are chemists or geologists. What I can promise is, that you will (usually) meet knowledge at a university level. But don't be afraid, our homework forums are usually kind and know about students' difficulties.
