Introductory physics Definition and 111 Threads

Is this free introductory physics book any good? http://www.anselm.edu/internet/physics/cbphysics/index.html. If not do you know any other cheaper introductory physics books that are at a high level (under $70 I'm saving for more advanced books)?

Seriously, do they not realize that we have the solutions manual right in front of us when we're grading? lol

I've started my own personal pet project in trying to suggest a possible revamping of the often dreaded intro physics lab. My philosophy here is two fold: 1. Teach skills in how we arrive at how things behave 2. The students shouldn't be encumbered with "theories" that they need to either...

Science Professionals: Master's Education for a Competitive World is a book published by National Academies Press. This particular one is available free in pdf format, but one has to register. I strongly recommend academics take a look at it. http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12064...

Homework Statement A car is traveling at = 24 . The driver applies the brakes and the car decelerates at = -4.0 . What is the stopping distance? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution i just started my physics class and I have a horible teacher, i have never taken...

I actually just posted this in the physics subforum but realized that it is much more appropriate here. So I've got a good deal of the summer in front of me, and I've realized that I've wasted all of my time doing nothing. As a result, I've decided to do something productive and teach myself...

Hello, I'm currently a sophomore in High School, and have only just recently found a very strong interest in the workings of the universe. I've only taken up to Algebra (although I am pretty proficient with it) as far as math goes. I'm a relatively fast learner, and am interested in buying a...

I'm a high school student planning to self-studying for AP Physics C (introductory calculus-based physics), but so far I've only learned basic differential calculus. What kinds of introductory study guides (read: not textbooks) could quickly give me a working knowledge of the differential and...

I'm currently a Physics B student and I was wondering how you determine whether an online "Physics Tutorial/classroom" source is reliable and trustable based on the information it provides. For example the Physics Classroom. So far it has worked to my advantage but I'm not totally sure whether...

Introductory Physics Formulary This sticky is meant to be a repository for some basic equations commonly used in elementary physics that might prove handy to homework posters and homework helpers. The equations will be in Latex format so you can quickly copy them. (For more about Latex, go...

This thread is here to organize the many tutorials we have for Introductory Physics, which we take to be any and all General Physics courses that are either algebra based or calculus based. This thread will grow as the number of tutorials grows.
