Thanks for all the advice!

Thank you for your insight. I'm currently doing some linear algebra, complex arithmetic - nothing really difficult: just transformations onto the complex plane and De Moivre's theorem. I need to look into analysis, as you mentioned, and really more into classical mechanics. I always neglect...

Hi, I'm a student in the UK and am going on to study Physics at university next year. I enjoy self-study and was wondering which approach would be best, whether to read the physics content first or learn mathematical techniques first ( real and complex analysis etc.) Moreover, I wasn't sure...

Hi, I am currently applying to university and am an aspiring Theoretical Physicist. I see many different courses but the two I am not sure on are Mathematical Physics and Theoretical Physics. I was wondering what would give me a better foundation to go on to be a Theoretical Physicist, thank...

I understand what you intend to mean, in the sense that the sum of all the forces on that particle/ atom equals 0. Therefore it doesn't experience any gravitational effects; but I don't quite understand what do you mean by stopping there, since the force of gravity acts on every mass on every...

Thanks, this clarified the confusion I had.

Thanks for all the comments, but there is one thing I am confused with. Does the height of the ball bounced not depend on the force exerted of the ball when it is thrown at the ground? The point I'm trying to make is that doesn't Newton's third law state the Force of the ball hitting the ground...

Homework Statement Why does a ball bounce less and less high, even though the force exerted by the ground on the ball is the same, due to Newton's third law. I do understand the ball loses energy as heat energy. Homework Equations F=ma ; F1=-F2 The Attempt at a Solution I'm just curious why...
