E-Book Overview

Houston, Texas: OpenStax College, 2013 - 1268 pages, ISBN-13: 978-1-938168-00-0This book is based on the teaching and research experience of numerous physicists and influenced by a strong recollection of their own struggles as students. After reading this book, we hope you see that physics is visible everywhere. Applications range from driving a car to launching a rocket, from a skater whirling on ice to a neutron star spinning in space, and from taking your temperature to taking a chest X-ray.Contents:Introduction: the nature of science and physicsKinematicsTwo-Dimensional kinematicsDynamics: Force and Newtons laws of motionFurther application of Newtons laws: friction, drag and elasticityUniform circular motion and gravitationWork, energy and energy resourcesLinear momentum and collisionStatics and torqueRotational motion and angular momentumFluid staticsFluid dynamics and its biological and medical applicationsTemperature, kinetic theory and gas lawsHeat and heat transfer methodsThermodynamicsOscillatory motion and wavesPhysics of hearingElectric charge and electric fieldElectric potential and electric fieldElectric current, resistance, and Ohm's lawCircuits, bioelectricity and DC measurementsMagnetismElectromagnetic induction, AC circuits and electrical technologiesElectromagnetic wavesGeometric opticsVision and optical instrumentsWave opticsSpecial relativityIntroduction to quantum physicsAtomic physicsRadioactivity and nuclear physicsMedical applications of nuclear physicsParticle physicsFrontiers of physics
