Physics with Algebra - Volume 1 : Measurement, Motion, Forces, Energy, and Gravitation
Overview
Physics begins with a question about the world. Physics with Algebra, Volume I gives you the tools to turn that question into a physical model, an algebraic calculation and an answer you can check.
Every worked example follows the same four steps: Frame the situation, Plan the approach, Compute the result, and Reflect on what the answer means. You decide which physics applies before you calculate, and you test the result afterward: Are the units right? Is the size reasonable? Does it make physical sense?
Inside Volume I (Chapters 1-9):
- Measurement, units, estimation and significant figures
- Motion in one and two dimensions
- Vectors and how to work with them
- Forces and Newton's laws
- Work, energy and power
- Momentum and collisions
- Circular motion
- Gravitation
Each chapter includes:
- Clear explanations that show every algebra step
- Illustrations that connect equations to what is happening physically
- Worked examples using Frame, Plan, Compute, Reflect
- Conceptual checks to test understanding before calculating
- Practice problems with the assumptions behind each model stated
The book is written for students who want to understand physics, not just memorize formulas. It needs algebra and basic trigonometry, but not calculus. It suits high school physics, introductory college courses, homeschool programs and independent study.
Volume II continues the course with rotation, oscillations, fluids, waves, thermal physics, electricity, magnetism, optics and modern physics.
