In English doubts are called questions. They are wrongly called doubts only in Indian English lessons for some reason, don't say doubts, say questions. Hope that helps.neerajrln said:
You need to look at all of the forum and decide which forum your post fits in. If it has to do with school, it needs to go in the homework section, be sure to fill out the homework section template.
You need to read the guidelines, it has a link to homework help.
Good luck!

If you hit go to the home page (by clicking on the "Physics Forum" name at top right of your browser) you will see there is many sub-forums for you to post in.
Try to post your questions in the right sub-forum. Say you have a question pertaining to the topic of Calculus, then you can post your question in the Calculus sub-forum:

Unless it has to do with school, then you would need to post in homework. https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/homework-and-coursework-questions.152/Joppy said:
If you post schoolwork in the wrong forum, it could get deleted or moved and responses delayed.

FAQ: What is the Importance of Understanding Physics?
1. What is physics?
Physics is the branch of science that deals with the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. It seeks to understand the fundamental principles that govern the behavior of the universe at both the smallest and largest scales.
2. Why is it important to understand physics?
Understanding physics is essential for many reasons. It helps us to explain and predict natural phenomena, develop new technologies, and improve our understanding of the world around us. It also forms the basis for many other scientific disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, and astronomy.
3. How does physics impact our daily lives?
Physics has a significant impact on our daily lives, whether we realize it or not. It is the foundation of modern technology, including electricity, transportation, communication, and medical equipment. It also helps us understand natural phenomena, such as weather patterns and the behavior of objects in motion.
4. What skills can be gained from studying physics?
Studying physics can help develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. It also requires strong mathematical abilities, which can be useful in many other fields. Additionally, studying physics can improve our ability to think abstractly and creatively, which can be applied to various aspects of life.
5. How is physics related to other scientific disciplines?
Physics is closely related to other scientific disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Many concepts and principles in these fields are based on the laws of physics. For example, chemistry relies on the principles of atomic and molecular interactions, while biology uses the laws of thermodynamics to understand energy transfer in living systems. Additionally, physics is essential in understanding the behavior of objects in space, making it a crucial component of astronomy.
