Common mistake is to think IQ is some all encompassing measurement of intelligence. IQ test only measure a certain type(s) of intellect.
In particular the ones that seem to have a correlation with solving math problems, pattern searching and general logical thinking.

It's really the same thing like an eye test saying nothing about how good your hearing is. You'd need another test for that.
So as to reply to the question "Does IQ tell you how intelligent someone is?". The correct answer would be to respond with another question, "In what field?".

Hey /sci/, I'm a math gradfag and I would really like to learn about the basics of quantum mechanics and general relativity before I get out of school. I feel like I should have the requisite math background, I've just never taken much physics and I'm looking for a text to self-study from. Do you guys have anything you would recommend?

there you go

How do you apply a constant velocity to an object with just a spring scale, a pulley and a few masses? I understand the sum of forces must equal 0 in order for there to be a constant velocity but I cant work out the math to do this with a pulley. Using the spring scale to apply a constant force that equals Fk just seems archaic
