Classical Mechanics: a Critical Introduction
by Michael Cohen
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania 2012
Number of pages: 364
Description:
This is an open-source introduction to Classical Mechanics, by Emeritus Professor Michael Cohen, which many students may find useful as a supplementary resource. Cohen emphasizes basic concepts, such as force and permissible frames of reference, which frequently are dealt with hastily due to time pressures. The text contains numerous solved Examples.

Motion and Mass: First Steps into Physics
by Roy McWeeny - Learning Development Institute
From these simple ideas about mass and motion, and a few experiments that anyone can do, we can lay the foundations of Physics: they are expressed mathematically in the 'laws of motion', which form the starting point for the Physical Sciences.
