PHYSICS
PREP
Understanding the concepts in the field of Physics requires using them in solving problems. Here, we present solutions to Physics problems from various topics. First year college and AP Physics students will find this resource extremely useful.
Kinematics
Vectors, Projectile motion, constant acceleration, variable acceleration, velocity versus speed, circular motion
Collisions
System of particles, center of mass, impulse, conservation of linear momentum
Statics
Systems in Equilibrium are investigated. The knowledge of torque and force is being applied here.
Electricity
Electric Force, electric field and potential, equipotential surfaces and lines, energy density, Gauss' Law, electric energy
