  2. Why does the metric system use "kilogram" as a base SI unit?

    37 SI system uses all (that I know) measurement basic units as 1 (single) instance: meter, second, Ampère, etc, except for the KILOgram. It already defined with 1000 multiplier (kilo). It prevents from …

  3. What is a good introductory book on quantum mechanics?

    For a basic short introduction to quantum mechanics, you can't beat: Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol III This is very good and intuitive, and complementary to the remaining books. Landau and Lifschitz …

  4. forces - Why are basic physics problems neglecting to include ...

    Oct 27, 2015 · Yes, most basic mechanics problems ignore drag effects (because those are hard, amongst other things). But, I live where the air pressure is ~10% less than sea level, and basic …

  5. What is a basic physics general definition of a 'potential'?

    Apr 5, 2018 · From the Wikipedia: In physics, a potential may refer to the scalar potential or to the vector potential. In either case, it is a field defined in space, from which many important physical proper...

  6. How do I develop a deeper understanding of physics?

    I'm thinking about majoring in physics, but I don't think my background is really strong at the moment. I've completed the standard first year math and physics sequence (multivariable calculus/

  7. What's the standard "roadmap" to learning quantum physics?
