Boston University PY106 - Physics II
Want to get a head start? 1-2 weeks before first class...
- Review Gravitation (see
Lecture Notes,
Gravitation
Video (7 minutes),
Gravitation Worksheet and see
Gravitation
Worksheet Solutions)
- From PY105, review vectors and trigonometry (see
Math/Physics Prep
Packet), Newton's Laws, Conservation of Energy, Simple Harmonic
Motion. That's Ch. 3, 7, and 12 from
Essential Physics I (Duffy) or Ch. 4, 7, and
16 from
College Physics (OpenStax).
- Once you feel comfortable with PY105 content, if you want to get
a head start on this course, read Ch. 18 and 19
from College Physics (OpenStax) or Ch. 16 and 17 from
Essential Physics II (Duffy)
- You can complement your reading with the associated
simulations (many of which are referenced in the text):
- Context for college physics, a must watch:
