Essential Physics
Force, Motion, & Energy
A multimedia physics course including force, motion, energy, and astronomy featuring 25 fully interactive lessons with vivid graphics, animations, and in-depth narration.
If you missed out on physics at school, or simply wish to improve your knowledge of physics in preparation for work, or further training, Essential Physics is the course for you.
Essential Physics Part 2 begins by introducing you to the concepts of velocity and acceleration and then moves on to teach the fundamental concepts of force, work, and energy which underlie and explain most of the physical events which take place around us, such as why objects fall to the ground, how vehicles are made to move and brought to a rest, how tools and machinery make work easier, and so on. Finally, you will learn the basics of astronomy, beginning with a brief examination of the Earth's position in the universe, a voyage through the solar system, and concluding with an insight into the birth and death of stars.
Familiarity with the concepts taught in Essential Physics Part 2 will help you prepare for further study leading to careers in technology and engineering.
Innovative teaching software enables students to grasp even the most difficult concepts, quickly and efficiently.
All of the key topics are built up logically and clearly, starting from the very beginning, ensuring that both novice and advanced students alike can benefit from this course.
Provides excellent preparation for professional pilot ground school studies.
Contains worked examples and over 200 self-test questions.
