This physics textbook is designed to support my personal teaching activities at Duke University, in particular teaching its Physics 141/142, 151/152, or 161/162 series (Introduc-tory Physics for life science majors, engineers, or potential physics majors, respectively).
Learn the basics of physics, models, units, and mathematical tools in this chapter from Duffy's Essential Physics book. See examples of how physics applies to everyday situations and how it evolved over time.
Introductory Physics I Elementary Mechanics and Applications by Robert G. Brown Duke University Physics Department Durham, NC 27708-0305 rgb@phy.duke.edu
What is Physics?: Mr. Andersen explains the importance of physics as a science. History and virtual examples are used to give the discipline context. Physics uses the scientific method to help uncover the basic principles governing light and matter, and to discover the implications of those laws.
This module discusses the realm of physics (to define what physics is), some applications of physics (to illustrate its relevance to other disciplines), and more precisely what constitutes a physical law (to illuminate the importance of experimentation to theory).
