hyperphysics Is pretty good, also, your book has a whole bunch of problems in the back that you can work on.
What book are you using? Halliday, Resnick, and Walker is great, I used it to study for the GRE.
If you have any questions, post them here, or PM me and maybe we can help clarify them.
Yeah, that's easily the best calculus-based entry-level Physics textbook out there, although there's a third author now, Walker. Plus, it's been around forever, so it shouldn't be hard to find a used copy.
Yes. this was my freshman physics text book and I highly recommend it. It was also my brothers at a different university.
You're entitled to your opinion. I'm trying to explain a classical picture of space time. You're right that a relativistic picture adds complexity and there is no privileged reference frame. I don't claim to be a master explainer of undergrad physics concepts, and if you're going to pick holes in my explanations then it might be best to go to another source. Hailliday and Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics is a good book.
If you're starting out with the basics (Newtonian mechanics, basic electromagnetism), I would recommend Halliday and Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics. Of course, there are many other basic physics textbooks that are good, but I've found this one to be the best. If you'd like a PDF, poke around on the interwebs or PM me.
The Feynman Lectures are great, and they have a nice conversational style, but I find that the lack of exercises is a weakness. You absolutely must work problems to learn physics.
