Finally, with Head First Physics , there is. This comprehensive book takes the stress out of learning mechanics and practical physics by providing a fun and engaging experience, especially for students who "just don't get it." Head First Physics offers a format that's rich in visuals and full of activities, including pictures, illustrations, puzzles, stories, and quizzes -- a mixed-media style proven to stimulate learning and retention. One look will convince you: This isn't mere theory, this is physics brought to life through real-world scenarios, simple experiments, and hypothetical projects. Head First Physics is perfect for anyone who's intrigued by how things work in the natural world. You'll quickly discover that physics isn't a dry subject. It's all about the world we live in, encompassing everything from falling objects and speeding cars, to conservation of energy and gravity and weightlessness, and orbital behavior. This book: Helps you think like a physicist so you can understand why things really work the way they do Gives you relevant examples so you can fully grasp the principles before moving on to more complex concepts Designed to be used as a supplement study guide for the College Board's Advanced Placement Physics B Exam Introduces principles for the purpose of solving real-world problems, not memorization Teaches you how to measure, observe, calculate -- and yes -- how to do the math Covers scientific notation, SI units, vectors, motion, momentum conservation, Newton's Laws, energy conservation, weight and mass, gravitation and orbits, circular motion and simple harmonic motion, and much more If "Myth Busters" and other TV programs make you curious about our physical world -- or if you're a student forced to take a physics course -- now you can pursue the subject without the dread of boredom or the fear that it will be over your head. Head First Physics comes to rescue with an innovative, engaging, and inspirational way to learn physics! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,788,823 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #520 in Science for Kids #632 in Physics of Mechanics #10,974 in Study Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 40 Reviews | ## Images ![Head First Physics: A learner's companion to mechanics and practical physics (AP Physics B - Advanced Placement) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91BEMQ2D4BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***Ć on May 4, 2013* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Y on November 12, 2018* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***S on January 2, 2012* ## Frequently Bought Together - Head First Physics: A learner's companion to mechanics and practical physics (AP Physics B - Advanced Placement) - Head First Algebra: A Learner's Guide to Algebra I - Head First 2D Geometry: A Brain-Friendly Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6319982-head-first-physics-a-learners-companion-to-mechanics-and-practical](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6319982-head-first-physics-a-learners-companion-to-mechanics-and-practical) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
