NEED HELP STUDYING MECHANICS? THIS IS THE APP THAT TEACHES YOU HOW TO SOLVE MECHANICS PROBLEMS IN PHYSICS

* Top 100 grossing app in the Education category in Australia and 29 other countries.
* 5-Star rating, best rated app of its kind.
* "Outstanding physics resource... A must for those studying physics" - S. Fragomeni, Professor of Civil Engineering, Victoria University.

The Physics ToolBox-Mechanics app is designed to help students study mechanics in high school or university physics. The app features useful tools including practice questions, all of which have clear explanations of how the questions are solved. Unlike other apps that only give you the answers, this app gives you the solutions and teaches you how to solve it. It’s like having a private tutor in your pocket.

The Physics ToolBox was developed by a physics teacher who has taught physics at one of Australias largest universities for over 10 years.

* TOPICS COVERED *
● 1D motion
● 2D motion
● Projectile motion
● Circular motion
● Angular motion
● Vectors & trigonometry

FEATURES
* 60 Formulas with built-in calculators *
The app features a comprehensive list of formulas for the topics listed above, each with a smart formula calculator that is easy and intuitive to use. The formula calculators are useful for verifying your answers to worked problems and questions. The formula calculator allows you to solve any variable within the formula, making the app flexible and versatile, unlike some other apps which limit what you can solve. Each formula comes with a detailed description of the variables, the units of the variables, a description of its definition and how to use it.

* 140 Practice Questions *
The app comes with practice questions to help you prepare for tests and exams. Each practice question has an explanation of the solution to help you understand key concepts and to teach you how to solve the problem. The practice questions have some of the most commonly asked problems and examples found in most physics curricula. A similar practice books will set you back over $25. Suitable for students from years 11, 12 and 1st year college or university.
