SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for undergraduate students struggling with classical physics, specifically kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, energy conservation, momentum, and center of mass. Key recommendations include Schaum's Outlines and "3000 Problems Solved in Physics" for problem-solving practice. Additionally, several online courses are provided, including links to resources from JLAB, ASU, and MIT, which offer comprehensive materials on classical mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of classical physics concepts, including kinematics and Newton's laws of motion.
  • Familiarity with problem-solving techniques in physics.
  • Basic knowledge of online educational resources and course structures.
  • Ability to navigate academic websites for course materials.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Schaum's Outlines for structured problem-solving in physics.
  • Review the online physics courses available at JLAB for additional instructional content.
  • Investigate the classical mechanics courses offered by ASU and MIT for in-depth study.
  • Practice with "3000 Problems Solved in Physics" to enhance problem-solving skills.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for undergraduate students in physics, educators seeking supplementary teaching materials, and anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of classical mechanics concepts.

Dear all valuable experts/readers,

I'm currently an undergraduate and I'm taking up this classical physics module which focuses mainly on kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, energy conservation, momentum & impluses and centre of masses.

I'm kinda like experiencing problems following through as the pace is rather fast. Hence, I'm hoping for some online links/books/resources which may illustrate the principles in an easier approach.

Hope you guys will share your valuable inputs.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

there's always the schaums outlines and the 3000 problems solved in physics
 
Someone at JLAB put together a page of online physics courses.
