Introductory physics : summaries, examples, and practice problems / Michael Antosh.
Material type: TextPublisher: Boca Raton : CRC Press, 2023Edition: First editionDescription: pages cmISBN: 9780367434236; 9780367436858Subject(s): PhysicsDDC classification: 530 Summary: "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. The goal of this textbook is to have topics laid out clearly, 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 many practice problems, including strategy and math in addition to the answer. 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. This book is a very useful study guide for students in introductory physics courses, particularly 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"--Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
