Physics describes how motion works in everyday life. Clothes washers and rolling pins are undergoing rotational motion. A flying bird uses forces. Tossing a set of keys involves equations that describe motion (kinematics). Two people bumping into each other while cooking in a kitchen involves linear momentum. This textbook covers topics related to units kinematics forces energy momentum circular and rotational motion Newton’s general equation for gravity and simple harmonic motion (things that go back and forth). A math review is also included with a focus on algebra and trigonometry. The goal of this textbook is to present a clear introduction to these topics in small pieces with examples that readers can relate to. Each topic comes with a short summary a fully solved example and practice problems. Full solutions are included for over 400 problems. This book is a very useful study guide for students in introductory physics courses including high school and college students in an algebra-based introductory physics course and even students in an introductory calculus-level course. It can also be used as a standalone textbook in courses where derivations are not emphasized. Key features: Organizes a difficult subject into short and clearly written sections. Can be used alongside any introductory physics textbook. Presents clear examples for every problem type discussed in the textbook. Michael Antosh teaches physics at the University of Rhode Island USA. He obtained a Ph.D. in physics from Brown University. |Introductory Physics Summaries Examples and Practice Problems | Physics
