Force and Laws of motion Text Book

AI Thread Summary
To help a 9th grader grasp the concepts of force and the laws of motion, it's recommended to use engaging resources that blend theory with practical applications. "Conceptual Physics" by Paul Hewitt is suggested as a foundational text for understanding the theory behind these concepts. For hands-on learning, "101 Science Experiments" can provide practical experiments that reinforce the theoretical knowledge. Additionally, "Matter, Earth and Sky" by George Gamow is noted for its interesting approach to modern physics, although it may lack in numerical practice. For a book that offers good practice with force numericals, "Conceptual Physics" is a solid choice, although the specific ISBN code was not provided in the discussion.

What is the best way to make a 9th grader understand the concept of force and laws of motion. Also please refer a book where he can get a good practice to solve force numericals. Please mention the ISBN code of the book also. Thanks a lot

Matter, Earth and Sky, by George Gamow is interesting. I think I read this when I was in 8-9 grade. A little light on numerical stuff, but there is a lot of modern physics in there.
 
Hi,
One is learning about experiments: I guess for that 101 science experiments is good...
Other is learning the theory: for that a good starting point may be Conceptual Physics - Paul Hewitt

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
