Right click the image to download my "Physics Rsource Book" to your computer. This contains many of the problems and activities we will do in class. We will not do all of the problems or activities. But will do a lot of them.

This can be found in Schoology under class resources.
This is not a comprehensive "textbook." It is to serve as resource to help explain some of the main concepts that are covered in a first year physics class. The cool stuff happens in class with demonstrations, explanations, labs, and activities. It can be used as a review or as a primer before class. This resource contains a lot of animations and movies embedded from YouTube. It is meant to be different from a printed textbook. Hopefully more engaging.
Textbook Chapters are below.
  1. Scientific Notation
  2. Significant Figures
  3. Dimensional Analysis
  4. Linearization of Data
  5. Labs (in general)
  6. Trigonometry for Right Triangles
  7. Vectors

  19. Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
  20. Beyond Gravity
  21. Universal Gravity
  22. Energy
  23. Momentum
  24. Electrostatics
  25. Coulomb's Law
