[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what does "very good at it" mean, exactly? Does she know basic calculus? Has she passed AP physics 1 or 2 practice tests? How has she done on the f=ma exam?

If you want a source of challenging mechanics problems, check out this book: https://www.amazon.com/Problems-Solutions-Introductory-Mechanics-David/dp/1482086921[/quote]

OP here - Yes she does know basic college calculus and currently studying to advance her knowledge in it. She hasn't taken practice test on the APs yet. On the F=ma/USAPhO exam but she has done multiple of the past exams and has scored a 20 average on the F=ma and 19.2 on the USAPhO.[/quote] In that case she should start with the 5th edition of Halliday Resnick Krane, with these  online courses first or as a supplement alongside: https://oyc.yale.edu/physics

The book's end of chapter problems are very challenging, more than the problems in the course (which she should also do).

If her calculus skills are holding her back, then you can have her go through MIT OCW[/quote]
