Where can I find more challenging excercises?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the search for more challenging exercises in kinematics and dynamics, specifically for students studying mechanics. Users recommend "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Kleppner and Kolenkow as a resource that includes rigorous exercises. The original poster expresses dissatisfaction with their current textbook's lack of complexity, attributing it to their background in software engineering. The conversation highlights the need for more engaging and challenging material in the study of mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of kinematics and dynamics of points and systems
  • Familiarity with work and energy concepts in physics
  • Knowledge of dynamics of solid bodies
  • Basic principles of collisions between points
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced exercises in "An Introduction to Mechanics" by Kleppner and Kolenkow
  • Research additional resources for challenging physics problems in mechanics
  • Study vector properties in the context of dynamics
  • Investigate online platforms offering advanced physics exercises and solutions
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, particularly those studying mechanics, educators seeking challenging materials for their curriculum, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of kinematics and dynamics.

Ehi guys. I noticed that the excercises of my book are quite 'scalar', that is none of them require to use explicitly some vector properties, they're all funny special case. I want something more exciting. Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you very much! Bye bye

topic: kinematics, dynamic of points and system of points, work, energy, dynamic of solid body, collisions between points

just curious, what book are you using?
 
I would recommend An Introduction to Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow.
Great book with great exercises.

I'm not american, also I'm studying software engineering, I think that's the reason the book is not very tough
