Newton's Laws of Motion
Author: Harrison Onah
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781495398773
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Newton's laws of motion are fundamental to understanding how the forces that act on objects compel them to move. While the laws appear simple and obvious, they present very elegant description on the interaction between force and matter. The laws have witnessed ground-breaking applications in the dynamics of objects like Earth satellites and planets. Our thinking is that it is very important for science students to understand fundamental truths about these laws, and so we have developed this book with this in mind. The book presents very clear explanations of things we think students ought to know about the Newton laws. There are also numerical examples to guide the students' understanding quantitatively, and exercises to test their understanding of the topic.

Newton's Gravity
Author: Douglas W. MacDougal
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461454441
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
“Newton’s Gravity” conveys the power of simple mathematics to tell the fundamental truth about nature. Many people, for example, know the tides are caused by the pull of the Moon and to a lesser extent the Sun. But very few can explain exactly how and why that happens. Fewer still can calculate the actual pulls of the Moon and Sun on the oceans. This book shows in clear detail how to do this with simple tools. It uniquely crosses disciplines – history, astronomy, physics and mathematics – and takes pains to explain things frequently passed over or taken for granted in other books. Using a problem-based approach, “Newton’s Gravity” explores the surprisingly basic mathematics behind gravity, the most fundamental force that governs the movements of satellites, planets, and the stars. Author Douglas W. MacDougal uses actual problems from the history of astronomy, as well as original examples, to deepen understanding of how discoveries were made and what they mean. “Newton’s Gravity” concentrates strongly on the development of the science of orbital motion, beginning with Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, each of whom is prominently represented. Quotes and problems from Galileo’s Dialogs Concerning Two New Sciences and particularly Newton’s Principia help the reader get inside the mind of those thinkers and see the problems as they saw them, and experience their concise and typically eloquent writing. This book enables students and curious minds to explore the mysteries of celestial motion without having to know advanced mathematics. It will whet the reader’s curiosity to explore further and provide him or her the tools (mathematical or physical) to do so.

Publisher:
ISBN: 9781097441990
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
This lab guide provides students with the basic knowledge needed to successfully participate in an algebra-based physics laboratory course. This guide is an ideal addition to any introductory physics text. This book guides students through hands-on experience with computer-based experiment equipment, video analysis of motions, and real-world applications of physics concepts. This lab guide gives step-by-step instructions about how to use the common measurement software Logger Pro, the hardware LabQuest 2 and the most common Vernier sensors, and the video analysis program ImageJ/Fiji to take measurements. However, the experiments in this guide leave room for their own thoughts, activities, and experimental designs, so that students learn experimental skills. Through this guide, students also learn how to create measurement graphs with Microsoft Excel, how to analyze measurement data.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere–Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the electromagnetic theory of light. This book is a wonderful resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism and electromagnetics. A website hosted by the author at www.cambridge.org/9780521701471 contains interactive solutions to every problem in the text as well as audio podcasts to walk students through each chapter.
