Hello. I want to study Physics. I'm 14(15 next month). I know Newton's Laws of Motion. I want to know in what order should I study Physics. I know 9th grade Algebra. No books please.

For what it's worth, I would recommend working ahead in math first.Demoniac said:Hello. I want to study Physics. I'm 14(15 next month). I know Newton's Laws of Motion. I want to know in what order should I study Physics. I know 9th grade Algebra.
If this is because of price, I understand completely. If you just don't like books, I recommend learning to read. Look at the following site (this is for physics, regardless of whether you have the math background):No books please.

libraries also stock old textbooks you can check out...jtbell said:Note however that used textbooks are a lot cheaper than new ones, especially for old editions that are no longer currently sold and used in classes. The actual physics doesn't change from one edition to another. Publishers come out with new editions every few years because they want to keep on making money.
Demoniac said:My school offers Living Environment which I finished. This year I'm taking Earth Science. If I do horrible in Mathematics this year I'll get Planetary Science,if I do O.K in Mathematics I'll get Chemistry and if I do excellent in Mathematics I'll get Physics.
Demoniac said:No books is not because of the price and I love books. It's just that I don't want to have to keep turning pages >.>.

Pinu7 said:HS Geometry is not a very useful subject(in fact, is is almost useless).
Refresh on your Algebra and study Calculus on your own.
bp_psy said:This is certainly not true.A good understanding of basic euclidean geometry is as essential as basic algebra. Both subject might appear to be useless when you have studied calculus and other more advanced mathematics, but this is because by this time you do them almost without thinking.
The best way to start studying physics at age 14 is to first develop a strong foundation in mathematics, particularly algebra and geometry. These skills are essential for understanding the concepts and equations used in physics. It is also helpful to familiarize yourself with the basic principles of physics and the scientific method.
No, it is not necessary to take a formal physics course at age 14. However, if you have the opportunity to take a physics course, it can be beneficial in providing a structured learning environment and access to resources such as textbooks and laboratory equipment.
There are many resources available for studying physics at age 14. Some good options include online tutorials and videos, textbooks, and interactive simulations. Your local library or school may also have resources available for borrowing. It can also be helpful to join a study group or seek guidance from a teacher or mentor.
Physics is a fundamental science that explains the natural world around us. By studying physics, you will gain a better understanding of how things work and be able to apply this knowledge to real-life situations. For example, knowledge of physics can help you understand the principles behind everyday technologies such as smartphones and cars.
There are many potential career paths in physics for someone starting at age 14. Some common options include becoming a physicist, engineer, or science educator. Other fields that require a strong foundation in physics include astronomy, geology, and computer science. It is important to continue exploring your interests and strengths in physics to determine the best career path for you.
