Being a scientist could be quite demanding as one of the requirements that could be tailored towards achieving this aim is understanding the basic concept of physics. The phobia for this subject tends to be developed and nurtured amongst peers offering this course. When it comes to secondary institutions in Nigeria the situation is quite alarming, that it has kept most physics teachers, tutors and facilitators perplexed on how to deal with this issue effectively.
At times, the issue isn't directly from the student but actually because of the egocentric demeanor of most school management system. They tend to recruit incompetent teachers who aren't professionals in that field of study, which results in producing unproductive, naive and perplexed students who do not understand how to tackle theoretical and calculation questions when they see one. which is why this content would be addressing how to solve calculation questions on physics related topics.
Here are some few tips that would guide you whenever you want to solve questions on physics related topics they are as follows
1 Conceptualize
Here you bring the virtual event in question to reality this could be further explained as follows:
for instance if a questioner asks in his question "two car moving at a speed of 40km/hr and 60km/hr respectively in the same direction" you can imagine yourself standing by the side of the road and picturing two cars one moving faster than the other. Being able to Conceptualize is actually being able picture the question as if it is happening and once you have been able to do that you can move on to the next phase which is Categorization
2. Categorize
This has to deal with the correct interpretation of the event you have pictured via conceptualization in correlation with the problem in question. A practical example still based on the aforementioned question "two cars moving at a speed of 40km/hr and 60km/hr respectively in the same direction" a good categorizer would give the picture colours he can say let the slower car be red while the faster car be blue. After effective categorization we can now move on to the last stage which is ANALYSIS
3. Analyze
Here he narrows all his ideas from the question towards a single solution by writing the correct formulae and solving the problem in question to get the correct answer.
Quite easy isn't it ? The next time you are given a physics related question at school try using this three tools to solve your problem you'd see that you'd earn profitable results.
