AI Thread Summary
For effective practice questions, utilizing textbook problems and consulting professors during office hours can enhance understanding of complex topics. A user seeks online resources to find printable practice questions specifically for the Mechanical Comp section of the ASVAB, focusing on basic physics concepts like acceleration, gravity, and Newton's laws. Engaging with professors to review incorrect answers is highlighted as a beneficial strategy. Additionally, stating one's level and specific topics of interest can help in finding tailored resources. Overall, combining textbook exercises with online materials and professor guidance is recommended for thorough preparation.

Where is a good place to go to get a ton of practice questions?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
My new thing is the even questions in the book. Work threw them and show up at profs. office hours, even if he hasn't done them all he has an answer solution Then go over the ones you got wrong with him to see where you went wrong. Works like a charm.
 
I do not have a book...was just looking for a website or something where I can print out a ton of practice questions and attempt to sharpen up.
 
It might help if you stated your level and the sorts of problems and topics you were interested in.
 
Well mainly I am trying to study up for the Mechanical Comp portion of the ASVAB and if I do not score high enough in the various areas I will need to better understanding of basic physics for the NAPT test.

It is basic physics (acceleration, gravity, forces, 3 laws of Newton, etc)
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
