Fully Solved Examples from Physics with Calculus
Chris McMullen, Ph.D.
Learn physics from a university instructor with over 20 years of experience teaching calculus-based (and trig-based) physics in California, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania.
How does this book help you learn physics?
Clear explanations; communication is vital toward learning physics.
Explaining key steps in the math.
Explaining concepts as they relate to the problem.
Designed to help students.
Each example is fully solved with explanations.
Examples were selected to illustrate important problem-solving strategies.
Topics covered in Volume 1:
One-dimensional motion (including calculus)
Motion graphs and two-dimensional motion
Vector addition and projectile motion
Newton's laws (including springs)
Uniform circular motion
Gravity and satellites
Work, power, energy, center of mass, and collisions
Rotation: angular acceleration, torque, moment of inertia, angular momentum
Both classic and new problems are included.
Some classic problems/examples include:
Atwood's machine
the top of a roller coaster loop
inclined plane problems
the ballistic pendulum
geosynchronous satellite
center of mass and moment of inertia of a variety of objects
racecar on a banked curve
1D and 2D collisions
This book includes problems that involve calculus skills.
Relate position, velocity, and acceleration in 1D and in 2D.
Integrate to find the work done and differentiate to find instantaneous power.
Apply calculus to solve rocket propulsion problems.
Integrate to find center of mass and moment of inertia in different coordinate systems.
Physics with calculus, Volume 1 (motion), covered in detail (motion, Newton's laws, circular motion, work/energy, satellites, center of mass, collisions, rotation).
Over 100 fully solved examples of calculus-based physics problems. These are actually the solutions to the problems from Essential Calculus-based Physics Study Guide Workbook.
Trig-based physics, Volume 1 (motion). It's basically the calculus-based physics book without any of the calculus.
Over 100 fully solved examples of trig-based physics problems. These are actually the solutions to the problems from Essential Trig-based Physics Study Guide Workbook.
Over 100 fully solved examples of calculus-based physics problems, Volume 2 (electricity and magnetism).
Over 100 fully solved examples of calculus-based physics problems, Volume 3 (waves, fluids, sound, heat, and light).
Essential skills from physics with calculus. Volume 1 covers motion.
In-depth coverage of calculus-based physics. There is currently just one volume of the "Advanced Introduction," whereas there are 3 volumes of "Essential Calculus-based Physics."
Modern physics covers special relativity, blackbody radiation, the Compton effect, the photoelectric effect, Bohr's model, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and Schrodinger's equation.
Detailed and in-depth coverage of thermal physics across undergraduate physics.
