Exercises and Solutions
The exercises
posted at this site are categorized according to:
-
the
source of the exercise (four possibilities)
-
whether or not an answer
is posted with the exercise
-
whether or not (detailed)
solutions are posted with the exercise
Sources
The four sources of exercises are:
-
Feynman's
Tips on Physics by Richard P. Feynman, Michael A. Gottlieb, and Ralph
Leighton
-
Exercises in
Introductory Physics by Robert B. Leighton and Rochus E. Vogt
(out of print)
-
Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Caltech
-
Other Physics and Math Problems of
Interest
Please note that there is considerable overlap in the first three book sources: All
of the exercises in Feynman's
Tips on Physics appear in Exercises in
Introductory Physics, and many of the exercises in Exercises in
Introductory Physics appear in Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Other Physics
and Math Problems of Interest is
a catch-all for other sources (other than the three book sources). Answers
When answers to exercises are provided in the books they are also posted here, including all exercises from
Feynman's
Tips on Physics, most exercises from Exercises in
Introductory Physics, and the majority of exercises from Volume I of
Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Answers
to problems from Other sources are posted whenever they are provided by the
poster of the exercise or poster(s) of solution(s). (When posted solutions conflict, no answer
is posted until
it is determined which solution is correct!)
Solutions
Detailed solutions to exercises are
provided by posters, and are listed by author's name on each exercise page.
Solutions may be posted in any file format accepted for postings at this site
(as described on the Post Here page).
