's Introduction to Elementary Physics

AI Thread Summary
Elementary physics encompasses fundamental laws related to motion, electricity, and other natural phenomena. The discussion emphasizes the importance of asking specific questions rather than general ones to receive meaningful guidance. A suggestion is made to focus on classical theories, such as E=mc^2, while avoiding complex topics like relativity for beginners. Participants highlight that general inquiries can lead to overwhelming responses, akin to summarizing an entire physics textbook. Engaging with targeted questions will yield better insights and understanding in the field of physics.

I am just starting in elementry Physics and so in fear of asking an over simplified Question Can some one break down the common Law's of Physic's relating to natural occurances such as Motion/Electricity/Vortex's and any other relitive information you may deem esential.

Hi Mark and welcome to the Forums,

Perhaps it would be easier if you asked the question you want to ask...
 
Start with--E= mc^2
 
If your just starting elementary physics, and judging by the thread title I'm guessing that your just after classical theories, I would stay a way from relativity for the moment.
 
Hi my back ground is in Electronics in the Medical field.
 
The reason Hootenanny gave you the response he gave is that your question is so general you are essentially asking us to post the first several chapters of a physics book. That isn't how a discussion forum works. You need to ask more specific questions if you want real help.
 

Thread 'Inclined treadmills and Galilean Invariance'

This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
