I guess I do not know what I have not had. From what you've just said, now I'm also interested in looking into another classical physics book to augment what I've learned.

This is the text my Physics 1 class used this year. I liked it quite a bit and found the examples helpful. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470503459/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Hmmm, do you think you could explain in detail the forces at play during the rolling of a wheel? I know that the motion of the center of mass is due to friction, but I'm having a difficult time wrapping my mind around the details involved. If you could upload a free-body diagram as well, that...

Thank you! Just ordered it, looks perfect.

I was recently denied internal transfer to my University's Electrical Engineering degree program. Though I'm perfectly happy going into either chemistry or physics, I would still like to learn a bit of electrical engineering in my spare time. Could someone give me some suggestions on an absolute...

Not really sure what you're asking here. Moment of Inertia is in units of (kg m2) Angular velocity is in units of (rad/s) When you square angular velocity you do (rad/s)2. 1 rad2 = 1 (no units) So, angular velocity squared has units of (1/s2) (kg m2) x (1/s2) = (kg m2/s2) = Joule...

As I watched a few cyclists zoom by today, I started thinking about the mechanics behind the motion of a bicycle. I will now run through the work I have done in analyzing it. Please tell me if I have made any glaring mistakes in my logic and let me know what you think. Purpose Evaluate the...
