Basic PHYSICS

Abstract

This book was developed by the physics lecturer of the Department of Preparatory Science, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). It has been written primarily for the student of the UMK Science Foundation. It is intended to prepare students in this programme for basic physics. It is written in a concise point to help students to have a firm grasp of concepts in Physics. This book covers 14 topics of basic physics. To help readers grasp the material and concepts in learning physics, each chapter begins with a clear explanation of the pertinent definitions, principles, and theorems. This is followed by sets of solved and supplementary problems to provide a complete review of the materials of each chapter. The solved problems illustrate and amplify the theory and provide the repetition of basic principles vital to effective teaching. We included examples and tutorial material in each chapter to fulfil the student's needs in this program. Students can perform all the calculations in the worksheet provided in this book.
