Title: Seriously need help in physic
Post by: hyebyekadal on April 11, 2009, 09:32:53 am
ok im pretty good at the other subjects but i seriously need help in physics. its because we have WONDERFUL physics teacher . Anyway i only have my physics textbook and that doesn't help much. so can anyone suggest something to improve especially from someone who's good at physics and/or did well in their i/gcse's.

I am good at physics. Advise you to do lots past papers. Post questions in maths and physics help.

ok now i am in this crap situtaion
plz dont laugh
i am good in igcse phyiscs in most of the parts and find hard parts easy, BUT EASY PARTS HARD SUCH AS states of matter.

it about how eneergy is transferred,  in terms of particles, and molecules
how thermal expansion takes place,  in terms of particles, and molecules

..
dont answers the ones above.
they r just examples.
any one knows any good book which focuses more on these topics. and explains these all things in terms of molecules, particles, speed of molecules etc
plz suggest me a good book, does not have to be Igcse, but the content has to be good
I WOULD MOST APPRECIATE, A LINK TO AN EBOOK FROM FREEETEXTBOOKS.

Physics for you is for gcse. igcse is frankly harder. Hopefully the admin of freeetextbooks, holed up in some cave in remotest Afghanistan, will hear your cries for help and upload some igcse textbooks pronto.
