Feel free to contact me with any physics questions!
Here you'll find selection of problems that were solved during my SI Sessions.
- PSet 1: Motion in Physics
- PSet 2: Acceleration
- PSet 3: Vectors
- PSet 4: Kinematics in 2D
- PSet 4b: Introducing Newton's Laws
- PSet 5: Newton's 3rd Law
- PSet 6: Energy
- PSet 7: Impulse and Momentum
- PSet 8: Rotational Motion
Physics 40A References
Here are some possibly useful references to use when studying for this class.
Disclaimer: These are NOT a substitute for attending lecture or the professor's assigned readings/assignments!
I am simply recommending other resources I found useful and interesting when I was taking 40A and upper division mechanics.
- Doc Schuster on Kinematics
- Which equations should I use
- Derivation of Kinematics Equations
- More projectile motion
these two playlists should contain all topics you'll need for this class
- Feynman Lectures Vol. I
- To understand why learning physics is important
- All three Feynman Lecture volumes are great actually, especially volume II when you take Physics 40C.
