Back-of-the-envelope Physics Av Clifford (professor Emeritus Of Physics State University Of New York) Swartz

The author is the winner of the 2007 Melba Newell Phillips Award given by the American Association of Physics Teachers. Previously, he was awarded their Oersted Medal.Physicists use "back-of-the-envelope" estimates to check whether or not an idea could possibly be right. In many cases, the approximate solution is all that is needed. This compilation of 101 examples of back-of-the-envelope calculations celebrates a quantitative approach to solving physics problems. Drawing on a lifetime of physics research and nearly three decades as the editor of The Physics Teacher, Clifford Swartz provides simple, approximate solutions to physics problems that span a broad range of topics. What note do you get when you blow across the top of a Coke bottle? Could you lose weight on a diet of ice cubes? How can a fakir lie on a bed of nails without getting hurt? Does draining water in the northern hemisphere really swirl in a different direction than its counterpart below the equator?

Nuclear Physics: A Very Short Introduction Av Frank (professor Emeritus Of Theoretical Physics Oxford University And Fellow In Physics Exeter College

Nuclear physics began long before the identification of fundamental particles, with J. J. Thomson''s discovery of the electron at the end of the 19th century, which implied the existence of a positive charge in the atom to make it neutral. In...

An Introduction To Thermal Physics Av Daniel V. (professor Of Physics Professor Of Physics Weber State University) Schroeder

Thermal physics deals with collections of large numbers of particles - typically 10 to the 23rd power or so. Examples include the air in a balloon, the water in a lake, the electrons in a chunk of metal, and the photons given off by the sun. We can''t...
