Physics For Dummies 1st Edition - Steve Holzner, 384 Pages
Product Description
Does just thinking about the laws of motion make your head spin? Does studying electricity short your circuits? Do the complexities of thermodynamics cool your enthusiasm?
Thanks to this book, you don’t have to be Einstein to understand physics. As you read about Newton’s Laws, Kepler’s Laws, Hooke’s Law, Ohm’s Law, and others, you’ll appreciate the For Dummies law: The easier we make it, the faster people understand it and the more they enjoy it! Whether you’re taking a class, helping kids with homework, or trying to find out how the world works, this book helps you understand basic physics. It covers:
Measurements, units, and significant figures
Forces such as displacement, speed, and acceleration
Vectors and physics notation
Motion, energy, and waves (sound, light, wave-particle)
Solids, liquids, and gases
Thermodynamics
Electromagnetism
Relativity
Atomic and nuclear structures
Steven Holzner, Ph.D. earned his B.S. at MIT and his Ph.D. at Cornell, where he taught Physics 101 and 102 for over 10 years. He livens things up with cool physics facts, real-world examples, and simple experiments that will heighten your enthusiasm for physics and science. The book ends with some out-of-this world physics that will set your mind in motion:
The possibility of wormholes in space
The Big Bang
How the gravitational pull of black holes is too strong for even light to escape
May the Force be with you!
From the Back Cover
Filled with cool physics facts and real-world examples
The fun and easy way® to get up to speed on the basic concepts of physics
Does thermodynamics leave you cold? Are you vexed by vectors? Does electromagnetism seem like just a lot of static? Relax! This friendly guide puts the fun back into physics fundamentals. Author Steven Holzner walks you through all the topics typically covered in Physics 101 — and throws in some wild physics facts about relativity, time travel, quantum theory, and more.
Discover how to
Work with physics notation and math
Measure force and energy
Investigate heat, pressure, and sound
Examine electricity, magnetism, and light
Explore black holes, planetary rotation, and more
