University Physics, Volume 1
Mechanics, waves, and sound, with worked examples and practice problems you can return to at your own pace.
Learning resources
Follow your curiosity.
A few trusted places to start, from your first mechanics problem to the edge of current research.
Start with the fundamentals
Classical Mechanics
Explore motion through forces, energy, and momentum with lecture videos, problems, and course materials.
Explore waves & matter
Wave Interference
Experiment with water, sound, and light. Adjust sources and slits to see interference and diffraction take shape.
Superconductivity
Meet zero resistance, magnetic field expulsion, and the materials behind powerful particle-accelerator magnets.
Look into the universe
Black Holes
Learn what black holes are and how astronomers study their effects on surrounding matter and spacetime.
Gravitational-wave resources
Explore gravitational waves and the science behind LIGO through activities, explanations, videos, and reading.
Curated from universities, research institutions, and their education teams. All six resources are freely available.
