High School Physics TutorBasic and advanced topics in physics, specifically tailored for high school students. Topics include vectors, statics, kinematics, dynamics, energy/power, impulse/momentum, hydrostatics/aerostatics, electric circuits, magnetics, and radiation. Also included are chapter introductions which review major physics principles and their applications to problem-solving.
This third edition of Physics 2: HSC Course is revised and updated to meet all the requirements of the amended Stage 6 Physics Syllabus for Year 12 students in New South Wales. Written by a team of experienced Physics teachers, Physics 2 offers a complete resource with coverage of the threecore modules as well as three option modules: Quanta to Quarks, Astro-physics and Medical Physics.
This is a humourous and informal rendition of the story of gravitation theory from the early historic origins to the latest developments in astrophysics, focusing on Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and black-hole physics. Through engaging conversations and napkin-scribbled diagrams come tumbling the rudiments of relativity, spacetime and much of modern physics, narrated with high didactic and literary talent, and each embedded in casual lessons given by a worldly astrophysicist to his friend.
This book is designed for students studying a first year physics course at university. It was designed to be a companion to University Physics by Young; however, it is not rigidly tied to that book. Each section has keywords at the end, hence readers wishing to read further on the material of that section can simply look up the keywords in the index of their own textbooks, whether it be Young or another.
Superconductivity--the flow of electric current without resistance in certain materials as temperatures near absolute zero--is one of the greatest discoveries of 20th century physics, but it can seem impenetrable to those who lack a solid scientific background. Outlining the fascinating history of how superconductivity was discovered, and the race to understand its many mysterious and counter-intuitive phenomena, Stephen Blundell explains in accessible terms the theories that have been developed to explain it, and how they have influenced other areas of science
