AI Thread Summary
A suggestion was made for creating a sticky post containing essential physics equations along with their definitions to assist beginners in understanding physics and related mathematics. An example provided was the equation F=mg, where F represents force, m is mass, and g is the gravitational constant. The discussion emphasizes the need for accessible resources to support learners new to the subject. A link to a relevant website was shared for additional reference. Implementing such a sticky could enhance the learning experience for users engaging with physics concepts.

Could we have sticky for physics equations with deffinitions? Here's my uneducated example:


F=mg

F: Force
m: mass (forgot metric measurement, standard is 'slugs')
g: gravitational constant


I think this would be helpful for those of us just getting into physics and physics-related math.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
