Must Know High School Physics

by Christopher Bruhn

A UNIQUE NEW APPROACH THAT’S LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT TO THE BRAIN You know that moment when you feel as though a lightning bolt has hit you because you finally get something? That’s how this book will make you react. ( We hope!) Each chapter makes sure that what you really need to know is clear right off the bat and sees to it that you build on this knowledge. Where other books ask you to memorize stuff, we’re going to show you the must know ideas that will guide you toward success in physics. You will start each chapter learning what the must know ideas behind a physics subject are, and these concepts will help you solve the physics problems that you find in your classwork and on exams. Dive into this book and • 250+ practice questions that mirror what you will find in your classwork and on exams
• A bonus app with 100+ flashcards that will reinforce what you’ve learned
• Extensive examples that drive home essential concepts
• An easy-access setup that allows you to jump in and out of subjects
• Physics topics aligned to national and state education standards
• Special help for more challenging physics subjects, including electromagnetism, projectile motion, and energy transfer. We’re confident that the must know ideas in this book will have you up and solving physics problems in no time―or at least in a reasonable amount of time!

4/5 stars. I read this as a “crash course” for myself so that I can help to tutor my high school students. While it was mostly accessible, there were parts (particularly with equation after equation) where this goes WAY beyond the levels expected of the high school students I’m working with! This relies much more heavily on mathematical exercises than taking time to create a conceptual understanding. If you’re a student struggling to grasp your material, I think there will be better books for you. This one seems more suited to people who are already comfortable in the subject and want to stretch themselves even further.
