The Princeton Review AP Physics Prep book is an amazing resource to prepare for the AP exam. I used this prep book to get an A in the class and prepare for my exam. This prep book offers a comprehensive review of key concepts with thorough explanations of everything.
Hyperspace by Michio Kaku explores the concept of higher dimensions and how they could revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Kaku explains how string theory, which relies on multiple dimensions beyond the familiar three, might unify the laws of physics, including relativity and quantum mechanics. He discusses historical and modern theories about extra dimensions, their potential role in black holes, time travel and parallel universes, and how they could explain fundamental forces like gravity.
AP Physics 1 Premium Prep by The Princeton Review (10th Edition) is a valuable resource for students preparing for the AP Physics 1 exam, particularly due to its extensive collection of practice problems, which are both plentiful and high quality. These problems provide ample opportunities for students to apply concepts, practice critical thinking, and build problem-solving skills necessary for the exam.
The book describes some of the basic components of physics while connecting physics to Angry Birds and everyday items or actions. A lot of pictures and drawings are used in the book to help display physics principles better. For example, the book includes a picture of a balloon rubbing on a cat’s fur to explain the principle of static electricity. The book also provides a brief history of physics by mentioning famous scientists and their contributions towards different equations or discoveries.
The book begins by describing Albert’s childhood and experience in school. While most kids wanted to play games outside and have fun, Albert enjoyed spending his time solving puzzles and learning about science. In school he would ask a lot of questions; in fact, he asked so many that his teachers got annoyed with him and expelled him. Albert was then forced to learn things on his own. Although it took him time to gain respect in the science community, Albert published many theories and equations which were proven correct, and he became one of the most successful scientists of all time.
