The fast and easy way to get up to speed on physics
If just thinking about the laws of physics makes your head spin, this hands-on, friendly guide gets you out of the black hole and sheds light on this often-intimidating subject. Tracking to a typical Physics I course, it teaches you the basic principles and formulas in a clear and concise manner, proving that you don't have to be Einstein to understand physics!
Get into motion — start your journey with a look at acceleration, velocity, and displacement, which is a great way to understand how physics works
May the force be with you — get the 411 on Newton's laws and easily grasp equal and opposite forces, inertia and mass, friction, equilibrium, and much more
Make physics work — discover the ins and outs of turning energy into work, conserving mechanical energy, and seeing how rotational motion makes the world go 'round
Turn up the heat with thermodynamics — find out everything you need to know about the physics of heat, temperature, and the ideal gas laws you'll encounter in your studies
Open the book and find:
How to measure displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration
Math fundamentals and systems of measurement you need to know
Plain-English explanations of Newton's laws
The lowdown on gravity, inclined planes, and friction
A look at centripetal acceleration, momentum and impulse, and angular kinetics
The scoop on fluids, flow, and pressure
The laws of thermodynamics
Learn to:
Get up to speed on the basic concepts of physics
Grasp formulas in a clear and concise manner
Explore the newest discoveries in the field
