Book Synopsis

âœPhysics: An Introduction to Physical Dynamicsâ provides an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of physics for science and engineering undergraduates who are studying elementary physics.

This textbook contains twelve chapters with accompanying problem sets, and deals with the dynamical properties of a variety of physical systems. The first six chapters introduce Newtonâs laws of motion, followed by the concepts of mechanical work and mechanical energy, with illustrative applications to the translational and/or rotational motion of inflexible objects such as particles and 3D objects of fixed shape. The next four chapters generalize the application of Newtonâs laws and mechanical energy to flexible systems, including flowing fluids, waves on strings, and oscillating springs. The last two chapters deal with the laws of thermodynamics, and with heat energy transfer between systems at different temperatures.
