Hey all,
I'm a junior in high school and taking physics. My teacher isn't really one of the best teachers, and we do nothing from a textbook, all done from her drawings/lectures from a whiteboard.
It's safe to say I'm just about completely lost in that class. We have a test coming up (tomorrow actually) on "force diagrams", I think this is what they are called? Does this ring a bell with anyone? Something where you are given a diagram of something and you are required to draw the forces, and write some other things. I know F-EARTH always points down, something like that.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites which could help me understand these concepts? Without a textbook (other teachers teaching physics at my school use textbooks) I'm really lost if I don't get it.
Any sort of help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan Gessler
