good starting places in Physics?

[Antix]

Hey there all!

 

I'm sure you get a lot of these topics however at the current moment I don't have the time to search through pages to find them so just throwing this up.

 

Lately I've taken an increasing interest in Physics and was wondering if there's any recommended starting points to learn as a base before moving onto a more specific field, perhaps some good books explaining the fundamentals? I would have started this a few years ago (I'm currently studying an undergrad in ethical hacking) but I allowed good opportunities to pass me by, something I regret, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance

Not quite sure what you mean... maybe start with some A level textbooks?

Try reading "Fundamentals of physics" by Halliday, Resnick and Walker.

It has about 1,300 pages and covers everything from measurment in physics to special relativity.

There are two important questions that need to be answered before we can give sensible recommendations:

• How much physics do you already know?
• How much math do you already know?

You can learn some really basic lessons on physics here like Basics of Electronics http://lurnq.com/lesson/Basics-of-Electronics/

 

Knowing Moment of Inertia and calculating Moment of Inertia http://lurnq.com/lesson/Moment-of-Inertia/

 

And there are bunch of resources here which can be helpful

Try The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Richard P. Feynman, Robert B.

Leighton and Matthew Sands all you need is there.
