I need some tips studying about
1. Angular momentum and numerical problems based on angular momentum
2. Capillary action numerical problems based on them
3.Free body diagrams for force and numerical problems based on them
4. Elastic and inelastic collisions and numerical problems based on them
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Read up on them and do as many problems as you can. Do you have any questions problems or questions about these topics?
 
There aren't really any tricks to studying these things in particular. Reading the textbooks, thinking about the reading, and working the problems is the way to learn physics. If you have a hard time following the reading, you may want to look into finding an alternative textbook to use. You might want to check out some of the physics videos on Khan Academy.
