Physics

👉Content of the app

This book covers fundamental topics in classical physics and provides an introduction to modern physics. The book is divided into six parts.

Part 1 (Chapters 1 to 14): deals with the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics and the physics of fluids;

Part 2 (Chapters 15 to 18): covers oscillations, mechanical waves, and sound;

Part 3 (Chapters 19 to 22): addresses heat and thermodynamics;

Part 4 (Chapters 23 to 34): treats electricity and magnetism;

Part 5 (Chapters 35 to 38): covers light and optics; and

Part 6 (Chapters 39 to 46): deals with relativity and modern physics.

👉This introductory physics app has three main objectives:

• to provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics,

• to strengthen an understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting real-world applications,

• to develop strong problem-solving skills through an effectively organized approach.

To meet these objectives, we emphasize well-organized physical arguments and a focused problem-solving strategy. At the same time, we attempt to motivate the student through practical examples that demonstrate the role of physics in other disciplines, including engineering, chemistry, and medicine.
