9780136663225: Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics (Second Edition)

Synopsis

Key Message: This book aims to explain physics in a readable and interesting manner that is accessible and clear, and to teach readers by anticipating their needs and difficulties without oversimplifying. Physics is a description of reality, and thus each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that readers can directly relate to. We then move on to the generalizations and more formal treatment of the topic. Not only does this make the material more interesting and easier to understand, but it is closer to the way physics is actually practiced.

Key Topics:

INTRODUCTION, MEASUREMENT, ESTIMATING, DESCRIBING MOTION: KINEMATICS IN ONE DIMENSION, KINEMATICS IN TWO OR THREE DIMENSIONS; VECTORS, DYNAMICS: NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION , USING NEWTON’S LAWS: FRICTION, CIRCULAR MOTION, DRAG FORCES, GRAVITATION AND NEWTON’S6 SYNTHESIS , WORK AND ENERGY , CONSERVATION OF ENERGY , LINEAR MOMENTUM , ROTATIONAL MOTION , ANGULAR MOMENTUM; GENERAL ROTATION , STATIC EQUILIBRIUM; ELASTICITY AND FRACTURE , FLUIDS , OSCILLATIONS , WAVE MOTION,  SOUND , TEMPERATURE, THERMAL EXPANSION, AND THE IDEAL GAS LAW

From the Back Cover

Key Benefit: A comprehensive, rigorous introduction to physics, with careful and detailed development of physics principles and a strong emphasis on problem solving. It uses a less formal, more intuitive physical approach, and starts each new topic with concrete observations or experiences with which readers can identify intuitively, before discussing the theoretical, abstract, or quantitative aspects of the topic. Key Topics: This book introduces math as necessitated by the physics material and uses the math as a motivational tool. It features an extensive range and number of worked-out examples and applications to physics, engineering, everyday life, etc.
