Does anyone know where i can find good physics problems

AI Thread Summary
Students preparing for Physics 12 are seeking resources for challenging problems that align better with their tests, which are significantly harder than their homework. Recommendations include the Example Problems at Hyperphysics, which offers a variety of physics problems, and the book "Problems in General Physics" by I. E. Irodov, known for its comprehensive range of challenging questions. These resources aim to enhance conceptual understanding, making it easier to tackle difficult problems in kinematics, dynamics, and work and energy. Engaging with these materials can better prepare students for their exams. Utilizing these suggestions can help bridge the gap between homework and test difficulty.

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:

:smile:
 
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
 
www.learnerds.com

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

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
