    Formulas Idea
AI Thread Summary
Struggling to connect physics concepts with formulas is common, especially when studying Solids and Fluids. It's important to understand what each part of a formula represents and when to apply it. Self-testing can be beneficial, and resources like question lists can aid in reinforcing knowledge. Delving into the derivation of formulas can enhance understanding of their applicability. Regular practice through problem-solving is also recommended to build familiarity with the material.

I have a problem with physics when it comes to relating new ideas with new formulas. Like right now I'm learning about Solids and Fluids, and the problem i have now is remember what formulas to use when, what each of the parts of the formula mean, etc. Is there a site or a list of questions that I can use to self test? I just need a general list of questions so that I can test myself on whatever material I am covering.

Also, solving lots of problem is usually helpful with familiarizing yourself with it.
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
