My current physics textbook is awful:
-offers a small blurb (E.g. 3 sentences for Doppler effect.
E.g. NO explanation as to why tension force is reduced when pulleys are present)
-NO explanation or example problems or how to use the formulas.
in turn, I am failing the courses and I can't do HALF of the hwk problems. My prof doesn't teach and I just don't have the time to google up everything I really need a COMPLETE textbook. I am doing my BSc Engineering in 1st year.
Please help, I am desperate. I need a textbook that would provide me with everything I need to fully understand the material (need COMPLETE & accurate & EASY to understand. Please, suggest a good book. It need to cover the below topics. Suggest mutiple books for each topic if necessary.
Thank You
