I have recently purchased the "Physics 1" set of 2 DVD's from Math Tutor DVD - (Jason Gibson). Unfortunately the dvd's do not include a section of practice exercises. Could somebody recommend either a website or book with suitable practice exercises?

I guess I should also explain I am not undertaking a structured university course but simply attempting to gain some knowledge of physics. Prior to this I have completed a calculus course on dvd by Prof. Edward Burger. I found this much easier than reading a textbook and decided to attempt the same with physics.

Has anybody tried either of the following courses:-
1. Calculus-Based Physics by Rapidlearningcentre.com
2. General Physics - Calculus by mchmultimedia.com

I'm not sure what the practice exercises will be like in these courses. For practice exercises, I would suggest looking into online resources such as Khan Academy or even YouTube channels that have physics videos. These are usually free and should provide a good source of practice. Additionally, there are many textbooks available that have practice exercises that can be used to supplement the DVDs you have purchased. I would also recommend checking out online forums or websites dedicated to physics to find more specific resources and advice.
