So does anyboday know any good books or websites explaining mainly basic physics or theorytical physics for beginears.
Basically just physics for beginears.

Before you can begin a serious study of physics, you'll need to learn some calculus. I'm sure you can google Calculus or Vector Calculus to learn some of what'll need.
With some basic calc under your belt, I'd suggest "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Kleppner and Kolenkov. Covers basic mechanics very nicely, starting with Newton's laws through to central force motion (gravity and the solar system) and special relativity.
For electrical stuff, I'd recommend Electricity and Magnetism, by Purcell, one of the best intro courses out there.
For easier intro texts (less calculus) try University Physics by Young and Freedman. Other interesting intro books include The Feynman Lectures on Physics.
