内容提要 一本引人入胜的物理教材。从人们体重的测定到地热的开发,从背越式跳高到潮汐的形成,从人造卫星到大风揭走房顶,从放射性到原子弹、氢弹……内容五花八门,应有尽有,和日常生活、实用技术、自然风光紧密相联,阅读起来兴趣盎然。 内容涵盖一般物理学的全部基本内容,文中还恰当地嵌入现代物理的进展,阅读之后让人眼界大为开阔。学习本书不需要微积分,全文除几个非常基本的公式外,几乎没有数学公式,但物理念阐述得通俗易懂,是一本“高级科普式的十万个为什么”。 目录 Contents iDetailConceptual Physics Photo AlbumTo the StudentTo the InstructorAcknowledgmentsAbout SciencePART ONE Mechanics2 Newtons First Law of Motion-lnertia3 Linear Motion4 Newtons Second Law of Motion5 Newtons Third Law of Motion6 Momentum7 Energy8 Rotational Motion9 Gravity10 Projectile and Satellite MotionPART TWO Properties of Matter11 The Atomic Nature of Matter12 Solids13 Liquids14 Gases and PlasmasPART THREE Heat15 Temperature, Heat, and Expansion16 Heat Transfer17 Change of Phase18 ThermodynamicsPAPT FOUR Sound 36119 Vibrations and Waves20 Sound21 Musical SoundsPAPT FIVE Electricity and Magnetism22 Electrostatics23 Electric Current24 Magnetism25 Electromagnetic InductionPART SIX Light26 Properties of Light27 Color28 Reflectioand Refraction29 Light Waves30 Light Emission31 Light QuantaPART SEVEN Atomic and Nuclear Physics32 The Atom and the Quantum33 The Atomic Nucleus and Radioactivity34 Nuclear Fissioand FusionPART EIGHT Relativity35 Special Theory of Relativity36 General Theory of RelativityEpilogueAppendix A Systems of MeasurementAppendix B More About MotionAppendix C GraphingAppendix D More About VectorsAppendix E Exponential Growth and Doubling TimeGlossaryPhoto CreditsIndex 作者介绍
