    Formulas Idea
AI Thread Summary
Struggling to connect physics concepts with formulas is common, especially when studying Solids and Fluids. It's important to understand what each part of a formula represents and when to apply it. Self-testing can be beneficial, and resources like question lists can aid in reinforcing knowledge. Delving into the derivation of formulas can enhance understanding of their applicability. Regular practice through problem-solving is also recommended to build familiarity with the material.

I have a problem with physics when it comes to relating new ideas with new formulas. Like right now I'm learning about Solids and Fluids, and the problem i have now is remember what formulas to use when, what each of the parts of the formula mean, etc. Is there a site or a list of questions that I can use to self test? I just need a general list of questions so that I can test myself on whatever material I am covering.

When you have a formula, do you work on it's derivation in as much detail as possible? You might want to do it, it would give you a lot of insight on when a certain formula is applicable and not.

Also, solving lots of problem is usually helpful with familiarizing yourself with it.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
