i dono how to isolate formulas in physics
What do you mean isolate formulas? Do you have an example?
You must practice algebra (math) and then you will be able to do physics.
If we have: \[\text{speed} = \text{distance}/\text{time}\] To isolate distance in the equation, multiplying both sides of the equation by time \[\text{speed}\times\text{time} = \text{distance}\] Now to isolate time in the equation, dividing both sides of the equation by speed \[\text{time} = \text{distance}/\text{speed}\]
you must pay attention to sentence structure, then you can do physics. A "formula" is one term in an expression (v_o t , or ½at^2 ). An expression is one side of an equation. Usually, the physics is figuring out what equation is appropriate then use math (algebra) to isolate whatever thing is asked for.
