Physics from planet Earth : an introduction to mechanics/ Joseph C. Amato, Enrique J. Galvez. - xvii, 593 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Surveying the skies -- Vectors -- Using vectors to describe motion -- The first conservation law: mass, momentum, and rocketry -- Collisions and the center of mass -- Acceleration, force, and Newton's laws -- Circular motion, simple harmonic motion, and time -- Kepler's laws and Newton's discovery of universal gravitation -- The second conservation law: energy -- Gravitational potential energy and orbital motion -- Rotations and the third conservation law: angular momentum -- Angular momentum and its conservation -- Torque, angular momentum, and the earth-moon system -- Dark matter, dark energy, and the fate of the universe.
Offering a planned approach for determining cause and effect, this third edition integrates the authors' decades of combined experience in providing training, consulting, and computational tools to industrial experimenters. Supplying readers with the statistical means to analyze how numerous … (more)
