This page contains 30 challenging problems focused on mechanics topics commonly taught in first-year physics courses. Each problem is accompanied by typed solutions in English and detailed tutorial videos available in both English and Cantonese. These rigorous problems will hopefully enhance your problem-solving abilities and deepen your understanding of the underlying physics concepts. They aim to bridge the gap between the rudimentary lecture materials and the level of competency expected upon completing the physics course.
These problems are specifically designed with the following first-year physics courses in mind. We recommend reviewing the course description and syllabus, or consulting your course instructor to determine whether the topics are suitable for your specific course:
PHYS1001: Essential Physics
PHYS1002: General Physics
PHYS1003: General Physics for Engineers
PHYS1110: Engineering Physics: Mechanics and Thermodynamics
PHYS1111: Introduction to Mechanics, Fluids, and Waves (University Physics I)
PHYS1113: Mechanics, Fluids, and Waves (University Physics I)
Topics Kinematics Newton's laws Mechanical energy Momentum Rotational motion Gravitation Statics Fluids Simple harmonic motion Wave phenomena
