Contents:
Describing motion -- Vectors -- Force and motion -- Energy -- Momentum -- Circular motion and gravitation -- Rotational motion -- Equilibrium and mechanical advantages -- Mechanical properties of matter -- Fluids -- Harmonic motion -- Waves -- Thermal properties of matter -- Heat -- Thermodynamics -- Electricity -- Electric energy -- Electric current -- Magnetism -- Electromagnetic induction -- Alternating current -- Light -- Lenses and mirrors -- Physical optics -- Atomic physics -- Atoms in combination -- The nucleus.
Summary: I find the book to be a little dated and visually unappealing, but so far in my college course, I am doing well with it. The instructor is very comfortable with delivery of its contents and is skilled in getting the students to learn the concepts. I like the fact that the odd problem answers offer formulas along with the correct answers.
