Publisher Description
Welcome to Physics Notes: Physical Quantities and Motion. This book is the first in a series of books that when combined will cover all physics subject areas at pre-university standard.
This book covers the topics that are absolutely fundamental to all areas of physics: physical quantities, units of measurement (Système International, SI), vectors and vector addition. Motion is a really good context for consolidating those fundamental concepts. Motion quantities (distance, speed, displacement, velocity and acceleration) are defined and explained. Graphs of motion introduce graphical analysis. Projectile motion introduces motion in two dimensions. The link between acceleration and force is explained leading eventually to an introduction to more complex types of motion involving drag and terminal velocity.

Detailed and practical
This was a big help to me understanding the fundamentals of physics. The worked solutions were really helpful too.
Physics Notes: Physical Quantities and Motion
How I wish a book like this had been available to me when I was studying Physics. The fundamental bases are clearly explained with quirky examples that actually relate to real-life experience. The worked examples are really helpful as are the diagrams. There is no textual padding therefore this makes the book good for learning but also for reference and revision. Clear layouts and links to videos enhance the whole reading experience.
