Full Description

This essential study guide is designed for students enrolled in a General Physics I college course. The textbook includes problems with detailed solutions to thoroughly teach students the subject matter. It features partially and fully solved exercises and hints to required formulas and answers, enabling students to practice independently while guiding them through problem-solving procedures. The topics covered include vectors and coordinate systems, linear kinematics, linear dynamics, collisions, center of mass, rotational kinematics, rotational dynamics, and simple harmonic motion. With detailed solutions, multiple problem-solving methods, and clear explanations of concepts, this hands-on guide will enhance students' problem-solving skills and foster a solid understanding of General Physics I. Additionally, it serves as a valuable resource for instructors in developing questions, tests, and quizzes.
