Contents:
Part 1 Mechanics: introduction and measurements; vectors; kinematics - the study of motion; Newton's laws of motion; equilibrium; uniform circular motion, gravitation and satellites; energy and its conservation; momentum and its conservation; rotational motion. Part 2 Vibratory motion, wave motion and fluids: elasticity; simple harmonic motion; wave motion; fluids. Part 3 Thermodynamics: temperature and heat; thermal expansion and the gas laws; heat transfer; thermodynamics. Part 4 Electricity and magnetism: electrostatics; electric fields; electric currents and DC circuits; capacitance; magnetism; electromagnetic induction; alternating current circuits; Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves. Part 5 Light and optics: the law of reflection; the law of refraction; physical optics. Part 6 Modern physics: special relativity; spacetime and general relativity; quantum physics; atomic physics; nuclear physics; elementary particle physics and the unification of the forces
Summary: This is a two-semester algebra-based introductory physics text, that includes intermediate mathematical steps in the derivations of important concepts. Topics covered include how the heart pumps blood, lunar landings, and metal detectors at airports
