i need tips on how to get a mark on the physics exam coming up in 2 weeks. I have trouble connected concepts with problem-solving; for example i know archimedes principle for buoyant force but have trouble solving problems related to finding tension in a suspended mass in water. So any tips on how to do well would be great! Thanks o:)

Do lots and lots of practice problems. That is the best way to learn how concepts can be used to solve problems. It will also give you experience and familiarity with the types of problems that could come up on the test. Make sure you understand the physical meaning behind fundamental concepts and equations.
 
Thanks for ur reply
 
Good luck, by the way! :smile:

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
