High School Physics
The topics listed below are common to the high school physics curriculum. The main focus here is on classical mechanics. Click on the links to learn about these particular topics. Motion Along A Straight Line
Motion Along A Circular Path
Circular Motion
Projectile Motion
Newton's Laws Of Motion
Work And Energy (relevant section: "Work And Energy For Particles")
Friction
Momentum And Collisions (relevant section: "Conservation Of Linear Momentum")
Below is a list of solved physics problems taken from real-world applications. The solutions use concepts commonly taught in physics courses in high school. The advantage of listing these types of problems is that they tend to utilize different physics concepts in one solution. For purposes of overall understanding, it is better to solve a few problems that involve numerous concepts than many little problems that each focus on a single concept. Quality over quantity applies well to solving physics problems. Amusement Parks
Ferris Wheel Physics
Roller Coaster Physics
Sports
The Physics Of Basketball
The Physics Of Billiards (relevant sections: "Physics Of Billiards Ball Collision" and "Physics Of Billiards Analysis Of Ball Collision")
The Physics Of Skydiving
