A brief introduction to physics
Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern
the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at
motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum,
energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical
situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a
solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding
of trigonometry.
