I totally get where you’re coming from! Here are some recommendations for textbooks and video resources that might help you better understand displacement, acceleration, and similar concepts:
Textbooks:
“Physics for Scientists and Engineers” by Serway and Jewett – This book is comprehensive and has clear explanations with lots of examples.
“Conceptual Physics” by Paul G. Hewitt – If you’re looking for a more conceptual approach, this book is very approachable and focuses on understanding the basics.
“Fundamentals of Physics” by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker – This one is a classic and offers thorough explanations along with practice problems.
Online Resources:
Khan Academy – They have a great series of videos on physics topics, including displacement and acceleration. The practice exercises can also help reinforce what you learn.
YouTube Channels:
Veritasium – This channel explains interesting physics concepts with thorough explanations and real-world applications.
MIT OpenCourseWare – They have free resources and lecture notes from actual physics courses taught at MIT. You can find lectures specifically on kinematics, which covers displacement and acceleration.
I hope these resources help you grasp the concepts better! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have specific questions on your topics! 😊
