| Publisher Description: Physics can be a very intimidating subject. However, with the proper guidance and right approach, it doesn't have to be. This guide was designed to apply an informal teaching style and colloquial manner in order to transform Physics into a more relatable and personal subject. It is divided into two sections. The first is an explanation of major concepts consisting of 1,2-Dimensional Kinematics, Forces, Circular Motion, Gravitation, Work and Energy, Linear and Angular Momentum, Rotational Motion, Statics, Fluids, Oscillations, and Waves. There are also special related topics included such as a brief coverage on Rocket Science and other pendulum constructs. The second section is an assembled collection of problems derived from a variety of sources and ranging from simplistic to difficult. Unlike most Physics textbooks, each problem is deconstructed by providing a detailed solution and strategy, free body diagrams, and key ideas many may have overlooked. This second part of the guide is intended to approach problem solving strategy unlike conventional Physics textbooks and introduce interesting and a few rarely seen problems. cover photo: Alexa Meade collaboration: Berkeley physics department |
