Physics Fun

Hello and welcome to Physics Fun! This website is intended to be a simple to moderate introduction to physics. It is my intention to give you at least a rudimentary understanding of some of the topics you will encounter in a highschool or undergraduate college course in physics. It is my hope though that your understanding of these topics will be more than merely rudimentary after reading through these webpages and doing the exercises. I can not cover the whole of physics in this website but I will try to touch on the key topics up to but not including 20th century physics.

Please understand that I am not a physicist, nor have ever pursued a degree in it. I simply have an interest in the subject and I enjoy doing physics problems. I actually went to college and majored in Computer Science. However, I will say this: I did take two semesters in physics as a requirement as an undergraduate. Bear in mind though that this was at a community college and was limited in scope and depth. When you make it to the topics of Thermodynamics and Electromagnetism you will find that I will touch on them very lightly and that is because my understanding of those topics is curtailed by my limited knowledge of and prowess with mathematics. I will do the best that I can however and I hope you get something out of it.

Now, we will begin with one and two dimensional kinematics followed by topics that fall under the realm of Newtonian Physics. Many books will start with measurements and how to convert one measurement to another. I have chosen to skip that part and just teach you those minor aspects on the fly as we move through the material. So, you may begin by clicking on the link below to start one dimensional kinematics. Bear in mind that you can skip from one topic to another using the menu in the upper left hand side of these webpages. To start your little journey through my physics website just follow the link below. I hope you enjoy what I have done here and will pass the word on to friend's and family who may be interested in the wide and rather challenging world of physics about this website. Alright, I will see you.....out there!
