AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student seeking online resources for physics problem-solving examples and exercises in preparation for a recovery exam. They express a need for practical applications rather than theoretical content, as they feel they understand the concepts but struggle with problem-solving techniques. Specific topics of interest include Newton's Laws, work and energy, circular motion, electric and magnetic interactions. The student is particularly looking for guidance on how to relate different variables in physics problems. They conclude by indicating a willingness to ask direct questions for further clarification.

Hi there people, I have been in the physics course of my school, tought I not aprovate it.

Then I need present a exam of "recuperation", I will like to know if you have a book/resource (online) because I can't buy for the moment and the exam is soon, then I need to see examples :), I think now that I have studied I understand somewhat good some concepts then I guess I not need more "theory" but get hands on examples and exercises, that also mean that a large text will not help much because no time for read it.I'm litle rusty at calculus and vectors, but I think I can pass over... the not much problem about that. With me specially what fail is how to solve the problem, that is something like "I understand what you whant, I understand the 'factors(concepts in theory)' in the problem, but don't know how exactly plug them on"... for example, now I'm trying to solve a problem in electric field, is the one that is a semicircle with a +Q in the midle and -Q in the other midle... I know that I have a d\theta and a diferential of the circle is dl and when come to the part of get the relation of dl = \lambda dQ = then I get stuck, I can't "see" the correct relation :), I guess is some like dl = \lambda rd\theta now I must obtain what is d\theta...Anyway, I guess you see th point, I understand at rudimentary the concepts (I know what you are asking and what I will answer), but the part of solve the problem isn't right.I think what I will like to see examples and problems are about:

1) Newton's Laws. (tensors, friction,
2) Work and energy.
3) A little of circular motion and kinetic.
4) Electric interactions:
  • coulomb's law
  • electric flow
  • gauss's law and
  • electric potential)
5) magnetic interactions:
  • Lorentz Force
  • Biot-Savat's Law
  • Ampere's Law
I hope if you have any feed-back on such a reference, I not need the theory I guess, I need focus more in the problem solving.

Thanks for your attention.

I haven't finded nothing similar, tought some exersices here and there but that dosent help much ;).

OK, I guess then I will need ask the questions directly here instead.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
