In this video, I walk you through my general suggestions for how to solve physics problems — the same step-by-step process I teach my students to help them succeed in AP Physics and beyond. We cover everything from setting up your environment and reading the problem carefully to listing known values, checking units, drawing diagrams, choosing equations, and verifying your final answers. If you want to improve your problem-solving skills and truly understand physics, this video will help you build the right habits and confidence to tackle any problem.
