Fear of Physics
www.fearofphysics.com [HTML]
|
|
|
The Fear of Physics site actually should have been called No Fear of Physics: It is organised by a team of people that "love physics" and that "created this site to be a friendly, non-technical place for you to come and "play" with the laws of physics for a while." So it provides very instructive and sometimes funny virtual experiments predominantly dealing with concepts of classical mechanics. Nevertheless some aspects of other topics such as acoustics, atomic physics, or relativity are also considered. Besides this virtual experiments that come along with explanations, the service includes a physics directory and homework help that illustrates how to use physical laws and equations to solve special physics problems. more info

Motion Mountain : The Physics Textbook
www.motionmountain.net [HTML/Javascript, PDF]
|
|
|
This site publishes a free physics textbook that introduces thermodynamics, special and general relativity, electrodynamics, quantum theory, quantum field theory and modern unification attempts. The Motion Mountain project aims to produce a simple, vivid and up-to-date introduction into modern physics, with emphasis on the fundaments of motion. `Simple` means that concepts are stressed more than formalism; `vivid` means that the reader is permanently challenged; `up-to-date` means that unification is presented in detail. more info
