AI Thread Summary
For beginners in physics, starting with foundational concepts like force, work, potential energy (PE), kinetic energy (KE), and power is essential. It's recommended to build on this knowledge by utilizing comprehensive resources such as Halliday and Resnick's "Fundamentals of Physics," which is praised for its clarity and thoroughness, covering a full year's worth of university-level physics. Engaging with physics textbooks and conducting experiments can enhance understanding and retention. Online resources, including video lectures, are also suggested for additional learning. Overall, a combination of reading, practical application, and exploring various educational materials will facilitate a deeper grasp of physics concepts.

I'm a newbie to phyics, all i know is force, work, PE, KE, power,and such, where should i go from here, and are there any good thorough tutorials and such that build off of this that r simple and not complicated?

I might be able to help you better if you said what your educational background is. Have you taken just one physics course? Usually knowing one thing points you in the dsirection of another.
 
well, i kind of took 1/4 of physics course i guess u could say
 
Do you have a physics textbook? Just go through that.
 
Get a copy of Halliday and Resnick's "Fundamentals of Physics" and read it, cover to cover. It's very easy to read, and you'll learn about a year's worth of university-level physics.
