Grade 11 Physics, Need resources

Click For Summary
Grade 11 physics students are seeking resources to better understand concepts like Newton's Laws and vectors. It's recommended to focus on solving assignments to grasp the principles rather than just memorizing. Specific topics can be researched online for deeper insight, and students are encouraged to share particular homework problems for targeted assistance. Utilizing Google to find articles on relevant subjects is advised. Engaging with specific questions can enhance understanding of the material.

Hi,

I just started gr 11 physics, and I need help.
I don't really understand the concepts being given and I want to learn more, so if you have any good websites or books that will help me, please list them

Thank you!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You're going to need to be a lot more specific than that.

What physics concepts are you learning?
 
Uhm, you could also try learning this the way I do. I have a set of assignments governing a number physics principles and by trying to solve them, somewhere along the way I might understand what it means.

I strongly advise against simply trying to cram this stuff in your head - you just memorise patterns, but you might not understand them. You could ask what is taught in Year11 and look up the subjects in Google.

for example: Newton's Laws of motion are definitely in Year 11.
 
okay mainly Vectors and UALM so far
 
I'm sure there are hundreds of articles online that can help you with this. Just google vectors.

If you have any specific homework problems you're having trouble with, feel free to post those.
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
