In summary, the conversation discussed the search for websites or resources that provide reliable worked examples of physics questions suitable for first year undergraduate level. One suggestion was the Schaum's Outlines, which offer books for different levels of physics. The conversation participants also mentioned checking out other books by Schaums.

I was just wondering if anyone here had discovered any good websites which contain plenty of reliable worked examples of physics questions suitable for first year physics undergraduate level?

Either free or subscription.

Thanks

I don't know about websites, but the Schaum's Outlines do that. Definitely worth looking into. Here's a good one for college (non-calculus) physics; they also have calculus-based and some of the more advanced classes.

Thanks for that.

I've looked at a Schaums book, and it had plenty of examples. Though the one I was looking at didn't go to a high enough level.

I'll see what other books they have.

Thanks again
