This app covers the following topics from Physics II:
- Calculate properties of solids, including stress, pressure, deformation, and more
- Calculate properties of fluids, including drag, buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and more
- Solve a variety of electricity and magnetism calculations
- Perform ray optics calculations, including Snell's law, lensmaker's equation, thin lens equation, and more
- Compute wave effects, including properties of diffraction and thin film interference
- Do common thermodynamics calculations, including the ideal gas law, Joule's first law, and more
- Look up laws of physics and common physics constants
The Wolfram Physics II Course Assistant is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the world's leading software system for mathematical research and education.
The Wolfram Physics II Course Assistant draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputers over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.

There isn't an app. that is this good. I need this app and when I got it I love it. WRA is the best website and you also have some of the best apps. thank you.
Crashes frequently

Nice app layout. Lots of useful info. Crashes like crazy on my iPhone 4s. You probably don't want to waste your money on it.

I'm afraid I just wasted my money on this app. Like the other reviewer found, start screen comes up and the app hangs. This app is non-functional on my iPhone 4S and needs revision. And for the record, it's not working on my iPad either!
Big Fan of Wolfram, not of this app.

I purchased this app to go along with a Physics course and every time I attempt to use it, the app crashes. I have contacted the developers and filed complaint and Apple with no response. Please fix this app!
Usefull

Its a very useful tool when you are in college. Thou I recommend they update the app for new iPad owners.
Not Impressed!!

This is really overpriced, and has very limited uses. It can't do anything that WolframAlpha can't do. I expect to see more uses for this in future updates..
Sad excuse for a "program"
nothappyatalll
The "program" is extremely limited. For example, if you need force, then it only has two slots open for mass and acceleration. It won't help you solve for mass using Ke=1/2mv^2 to get velocity and then to get initial and final velocity and to get acceleration which is what physics is about. Using all the formulas to your knowledge to solve the problem. Don't even think about downloading this program if you need to solve word problems because I'm 100% sure it can not do it. This program should be used for maybe highschoolers but for college level, it is simply useless. There is no flexibility. I expected more from a 3.00$ application.

It's all calculators for specific functions, it doesn't do much in the way of actually helping you learn physics.

I purchased this app with the hope that it would help me with my physics homework and learning physics. I immediately put it to the test but found the app to be incapable of helping. For example, if I want to calculate the charge of 2 ions, given the mass, distance, and force, the app is unable to come up with an answer for this because it has no capability of setting those parameters. Very disappointed. I would not recommend this app for a student learning physics until Wolfram is able to add functionality.
