Are there any resources for studying calculus and physics?

In summary, the student is in year one and looking for more exercises to practice in calculus and physics at an introductory level. They mention that their school provides webwork and masteringphysics as homework, but they feel that the number of questions is limited. They are asking for any additional resources or recommendations for studying. The expert suggests that any calculus and physics textbooks appropriate for their level should have plenty of questions. They also suggest checking online for used textbooks at a low cost or checking local/school libraries. The expert also recommends the 12th edition of a specific textbook, but advises the student to search for it separately as the link provided may show inflated prices.

My school is already provide webwork and masteringphysics as homework, but I don't think they are enough...(limited number of questions only...)

Any Calculus and Physics textbooks appropriate to your level should have plenty of questions for you to answer. If you don't already have these, you can find thousands of used, prior-edition textbooks on Amazon for very, very cheap (a few dollars or less). Or you could check your local/school library and see if they have any textbooks.

I have the 12th edition of this textbook and found it useful: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0805391797/?tag=pfamazon01-20

Edit: Hmm, when I click on the link, the prices are waaaay off. There are plenty for sale for around 6 dollars, but if I use the link it only shows a few for sale and all are 30 dollars or more. Just do a search for the title (University Physics 11th edition) and you should easily find the cheap ones.
