    Book Morin
In summary, the speaker is struggling with the difficulty of the questions in the book "Problems and solutions in introductory mechanics" by Morin. They are wondering if there is a faster way to solve the questions and if they are on the right track. Morin has stated that these questions are similar to one/two star questions in his 2008 book. The speaker may receive help by posting some questions with their solutions for others to assist with.

Homework Statement:: n/a
Relevant Equations:: n/a

I have been going through the baby version of the Morin Intro to Classical Mech book, "Problems and solutions in introductory mechanics." Each question, even some/quite a lot of multiple choice, is making me think upwards of 5 minutes and reconsider whether I know what I think I know. Was wondering whether this book is meant to actually be difficult, and whether there is any way for me to solve these introductory mechanics questions faster, or if I am going fine.

Morin states on his website that these questions are like one/two star questions in his 2008 Intro to Classical Mech red book.

If you post a couple with your solutions others may be able to help you find quicker ways.
