A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

The easy way to grasp the critical concepts of physics

From force and motion to momentum and energy, PhysicsEssentials For Dummies bypasses the fluff and focuses solely onthe critical concepts taught in an introductory physics course.This handy guide provides concise explanations of key subjectsusing real–world examples, so it′s perfect for clarifying conceptsand helping you cram for exams.

• Physics and your world discover how physics plays intoevery aspect of the world around you

• Giddy up explore displacement, speed, velocity, andacceleration and figure out how they fit together

• May the force be with you get the lowdown on Newton′slaws of motion and what they tell us about force

• Find your direction overcome your fear of vectors so youcan better understand velocity, acceleration, and force

• Get in motion understand the basics of impulse andmomentum, and see what happens when objects collide

Open the book and find:

• Tips for working with vectors

• How to apply displacement, velocity, and acceleration tocircular motion

• Why Newton′s laws of motion are so crucial to understandingforce

• The basics of work, energy, and power

• How to transition from linear to rotational motion

• The lowdown on gravity and friction

• The fundamentals of simple harmonic motion

• Amazing insights on relativity

Learn to:
