Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Newton created dynamics, there has been controversy about its foundations. Are space and time absolute? Do they form a rigid but invisible framework and container of the universe? Or are space, time, and motion relative? If so, does Newton's 'framework' arise through the influence of the universe at large, as Ernst Mach suggested? Einstein's aim when creating his general theory of relativity was to demonstrate this and thereby implement 'Mach's Principle'. However, it is widely believed that he achieved only partial success. This question of whether motion is absolute or relative has been a central issues in philosophy; the nature of time has perennial interest. Current attempts to create a quantum description of the whole universe keep these issues at the cutting edge of modern research. Written by the world's leading expert on Mach's Principle, The Discovery of Dynamics is a highly original account of the development of notions about space, time, and motion. Widely praised in its hardback version, it is one of the fullest and most readable accounts of the astronomical studies that culminated in Kepler's laws of planetary motion and of the creation of dynamics by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton. Originally published as Absolute or Relative Motion?, Vol. 1: The Discovery of Dynamics (Cambridge), The Discovery of Dynamics provides the technical background to Barbour's recently published The End of Time, in which he argues that time disappears from the description of the quantum universe.

Book Analytical Elements of Mechanics

Download or read book Analytical Elements of Mechanics written by Thomas R. Kane and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analytical Elements of Mechanics, Volume 2: Dynamics focuses on the processes, methodologies, approaches, and technologies involved in classical mechanics. The book first offers information on the differentiation of vectors, including vector functions of a scalar variable; derivatives of sums and products; vector tangents of a space curve; vector binormals of a space curve; and Taylor's theorem for vector functions. The manuscript then ponders on kinematics, as well as angular velocity and acceleration, absolute and relative velocity and acceleration, and rates of change of orientation of a rigid body. The text examines second moments and laws of motion. Discussions focus on second moments of sets of particles and continuous bodies, second moments of a point, motions of rigid bodies, and linear and angular momentum. The publication is a dependable reference for readers interested in the dynamics of the analytical elements of mechanics.

    Book Details:
  • Author : A. Douglas Davis
  • Publisher : Elsevier
  • Release : 2012-12-02
  • ISBN : 0323149405
  • Pages : 464 pages

Download or read book Classical Mechanics written by A. Douglas Davis and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Mechanics focuses on the use of calculus to solve problems in classical mechanics. Topics covered include motion in one dimension and three dimensions; the harmonic oscillator; vector algebra and vector calculus; and systems of particles. Coordinate systems and central forces are also discussed, along with rigid bodies and Lagrangian mechanics. Comprised of 13 chapters, this book begins with a crash course (or brief refresher) in the BASIC computer language and its immediate application to solving the harmonic oscillator. The discussion then turns to kinematics and dynamics in one dimension; three-dimensional harmonic oscillators; moving and rotating coordinate systems; and central forces in relation to potential energy and angular momentum. Subsequent chapters deal with systems of particles and rigid bodies as well as statics, Lagrangian mechanics, and fluid mechanics. The last chapter is devoted to the theory of special relativity and addresses concepts such as spacetime coordinates, simultaneity, Lorentz transformations, and the Doppler effect. This monograph is written to help students learn to use calculus effectively to solve problems in classical mechanics.

Book Classical Mechanics And Relativity  Second Edition

Download or read book Classical Mechanics And Relativity Second Edition written by Harald J W Muller-kirsten and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text covers the entire domain of basic classical mechanics and relativity theory (special and general) and has been revised mainly for the purpose of adding exercises without worked solutions that were missing in the first edition. To retain the format of a readable, yet advanced introductory text that can serve as the companion text for a course in mechanics, the more than 100 new exercises on diverse topics are of moderate range; answers are given and occasionally hints are provided. As before, the text aims to cover the entire spectrum of theoretical mechanics from Newton to Einstein. The reader can observe how in the course of time, deeper and deeper insights were achieved with the development of the basic equations of Newton to those of Euler and Lagrange, and to the geodesic equations of space-time and Einstein's relativity. To include diverse problems, a small section on this topic has been added.

Book Dynamics of Bodies with Time Variable Mass

Download or read book Dynamics of Bodies with Time Variable Mass written by Livija Cveticanin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the problem of dynamics of bodies with time-variable mass and moment of inertia. Mass addition and mass separation from the body are treated. Both aspects of mass variation, continual and discontinual, are considered. Dynamic properties of the body are obtained applying principles of classical dynamics and also analytical mechanics. Advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are discussed. Dynamics of constant body is adopted, and the characteristics of the mass variation of the body is included. Special attention is given to the influence of the reactive force and the reactive torque. The vibration of the body with variable mass is presented. One and two degrees of freedom oscillators with variable mass are discussed. Rotors and the Van der Pol oscillator with variable mass are displayed. The chaotic motion of bodies with variable mass is discussed too. To support learning, some solved practical problems are included.

  • Author : Zvi Biener
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2014-05-16
  • ISBN : 0199337101
  • Pages : 385 pages

Download or read book Newton and Empiricism written by Zvi Biener and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of original papers by a leading team of international scholars explores Isaac Newton's relation to a variety of empiricisms and empiricists. It includes studies of Newton's experimental methods in optics and their roots in Bacon and Boyle; Locke's and Hume's responses to Newton on the nature of matter, time, the structure of the sciences, and the limits of human inquiry. In addition it explores the use of Newtonian ideas in 18th-century pedagogy and the life sciences. Finally, it breaks new ground in analyzing the method of evidential reasoning heralded by the Principia, its nature, strength, and development in the subsequent three centuries of gravitational research. The volume will be of interest to historians of science and philosophy and philosophers interested in the nature of empiricism.
