: Kinematics (constant and variable speed), Dynamics, and Impulse/Center of Mass.
: Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies, dynamics, work and energy, conservation laws, and fluid mechanics.
💡 : If you are just starting, focus on Chapter 1 (Kinematics) . Problem 1.1.1 —finding the speed of a jet from a "blurred photo"—is a classic example of the "Savchenko style" that requires you to think about the physical mechanism of a camera shutter. If you'd like, I can:
This is arguably the most famous section. It covers complex kinematics, non-trivial applications of Newton's laws, systems with variable mass, rigid body dynamics, fluid statics/dynamics, and oscillations.
I can recommend a targeted reading schedule or point you toward specific problem sets to tackle first.
Advanced preparation for physics olympiads (IPhO, APhO, National Olympiads).
For over 30 years, this collection has been the ultimate litmus test for students preparing for the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) and other elite competitions.
