Amusement Park Physics

How do physics laws affect amusement park ride design?

College Physics for Students of Biology & Chemistry

This is a hypertextbook written for first-year undergraduate physics students.

Physics Open Course

The goal of Physics is to explain the Natural World in simple and precise terms. THIS PHYSICS GUIDE is designed to equip students with the basic principles of Matter and Energy. The topics of Motion, Energy, Sound, Light and Electricity are introduced. This course will help students with many career paths, especially, those in Science, Medical Sciences and Engineering.

Physics of Matter, Energy, Motion, and Forces

Physics is a major branch of science, concerned with the fundamental components of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces.

Simple Harmonic Motion

Amplitude, Period, and Frequency, Phase, Initial Phase, Velocity and Acceleration

Introduction to Free Body Diagrams

No doubt you are aware of free body diagrams (otherwise known as FBD's).

What is Torque?

Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate.

Torque and Angular Acceleration

In this section, we will develop the relationship between torque and angular acceleration. You will need to have a basic understanding of moments of inertia for this section.

The Quantum Theory

The quantum theory that describes the behavior of electrons is a cornerstone in modern chemistry.
