Should I take a Physics Degree?

We Answered:

It sounds like you wouldn't be accepted into a physics degree straight away because you just don't have the knowledge. However you could try applying to a foundation year (sometimes called a foundation degree - although it is not actually a degree!) in physics - it would be a one year course at a uni for people who want to do physics but don't have the qualifications. Passing it would usually guarantee you a place on a (proper 3-4 year) physics degree course at that uni the following year, if you wanted to move to a different uni and take up a physics degree then that might be possible too.

2D animation ,which is right software to draw and learn? ?

We Answered:

Some of the better commercial 2D animation programs such as Digicel Flipbook, Toon Boom, TVPaint, TAB, and PAP, have Student or Express versions that are fairly inexpensive. However, you might be disappointed by how crippled these stripped down programs are compared to their more expensive Pro versions. But if you look hard enough you should be able to find them cracked online (rapidshare, bittorrent). There are some free alternatives.

If you're doing old school drawn on paper frame by frame stuff or stop-motion or 2D, I'd suggest MonkeyJam. It's free.

If you're on a Mac, use Pencil(there's PC and Linux versions as well).

If you want to do Flash animation like the stuff on Newgrounds.com, either break down and buy Adobe Flash or you can try Creatoon or Synfig, which are free. They're not Flash, but they also do vector based symbol oriented
animation.

Here are some online resources about the basic principles of animation.

Barbara Said:

Best software for drawing vector force diagrams, (i.e. vector polygons as in physics)?

We Answered:

Neither Mathematica nor Matlab is specialized at this task. But either can be used for that with some programming. Mathematica has a project for thousands of useful little programs ready to use: Wolfram Demonstrations Project.

And there are some that appears to be useful to you.
They can be used either through a full fledged Mathematica 7 or via the free Mathematica Player.
