Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from College Physics In pursuance of the first of these purposes, that arrangement of topics has been chosen which, in the experience of the authors, has been found to lend itself most readily to a simple and natural presentation of the subject as a whole. Owing to the more obvious relations existing between them, the sub jcet of heat is made to follow immediately after the distinctly material phenomena of mechanics and sound; electricity pre cedes light, and the subject of radiation, usually found under the different chapters of heat, electricity and light, is treated separately after these subjects have been presented. It has also been thought best, even at the sacrifice of historical consist ency, to begin the subject of electricity with current electricity, in order to secure the advantage of the greater familiarity of the student with the phenomena of applied electricity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A College Text-Book of Physics In offering this work to my fellow teachers, a word of explana tion is due. The book was undertaken some years ago when the writer felt the want of a text-book adapted to the needs of students taking the general first year course in college. As the work has slowly progressed several text-books of very similar aim have appeared, and it must be admitted that the call is not so impera tive now as formerly; and yet it is hoped that the treatment here presented may meet some still existing demand and so justify its existence. What may be called the physical rather than the mathematical method has been preferred in giving definitions and explana tions, because it is believed that the ideas presented are more easily grasped and more tenaciously held when the mind forms for itself a sort of picture of the conditions, instead of merely associating them with the symbols of a formula. There are many minds that do not easily grasp mathematical reasoning even of a simple sort; and it is often the case also that a student who may be able to follow an algebraic deduction step by step has very little idea of the significance of the whole when he reaches the end. Algebra is not his native tongue and it takes considerable time and experience for him to learn to think in it. And while all will agree that for the more advanced study of physics, mathematics is quite indispensable, many will grant that in a general course, which is to furnish to most of those taking it all that they will ever know of physics as a science, the ideas and reasonings should be presented as directly as possible and in the most simple and familiar terms. This then has been the central aim in the preparation of this book; to give the student clear and distinct conceptions Of the various ideas and phenomena of physics, and to aid him in think ing through the relations between them, to the end that he may see something of the underlying unity of the subject; and to carry out this aim in such a manner that students may not be repelled by any unnecessary prominence of symbolic methods.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from College Physics for Students in Higher Academies and Colleges, Vol. 1: Mechanics, Sound and Light Inertia is the resistance which matter offers to any change in its condition of rest or motion. Matter is. Powerless of itself either to move or to stop moving if once set in motion; moreover it resists any attempt to move it if at rest, or to stop it if in motion. Illustrations of inertia are seen in the hammering of the water in a. Water pipe on suddenly closing the faucet; in the action of the hydraulic ram; or of the fly wheel of an engine. Familiar examples are also found in the stamping of snow from the feet, in the beating of dust from a carpet, in the motion of a bicycle rider when his wheel strikes a stone, or in the case of a person who steps from a rapidly moving car while facing to the rear. More remarkable. Illustrations of inertia. Are seen in the action of dynamite when exploded upon the surface of a rock - the inertia. Of the air being sufficient to cause the rock to be pulverized, by the sudden pressure in the method of supplying locomotives with water while running at full speed, and in milling machinery in which rapidly revolving steel bars beat the grain to powder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physics The preparation of a work of this grade by the collaboration of several writers is a somewhat novel undertaking, and some explanation of its genesis will not be out of place. It represents the attempt of seven experienced teachers of college physics to prepare a text-book that would be more satisfactory to all of them than any existing one. It was, of course, hoped that such a book would also prove acceptable to other teachers. It seemed to the writers that there was a need, and there would be a place, for a work prepared in this way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physics: Advanced Course The author's aim has been to avoid making the book simply an encyclopedic collection of facts on the one hand, or too purely an abstract and theoretical discus sion of physical theories on the other. The ground covered is that which is usually traversed by students in the more extended courses in Physics in our leading Universities, Colleges, and Technological Institutes. The mathematics required in the derivation of the for mulas is only that with which students taking such courses may be presumed to be already acquainted. Obviously, however, these derivations can be omitted at the discretion of the instructor. To facilitate the use of the book in the classroom most of the illustrative and explanatory matter is printed in a smaller type.

Download or read book General Physics and Its Application to Industry and Everyday Life Classic Reprint written by Ervin Sidney Ferry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Physics and Its Application to Industry and Everyday Life The present book is designed for that 'large class of students who in the early part of their college career require a coordinated elementary course in the fundamental principles, the methods; and the industrial applications of physics. The purpose is not only to impart information, but also to give training in the methods by which facts are correlated in laws, and these laws applied to the affairs of life. In order that the mind of the student may not be distracted from the physics by difficulties foreign to the subject, hypotheses still in controversy are not considered, and no mathematics is assumed beyond the elements of algebra and trigonometry. New ideas are first developed and then expressed by definitions or laws in physical terms. Definitions are carefully distinguished from defining equations. In making the questions at the end of the various sections, the object has been to develop in the student the power of connecting facts and laws with familiar phenomena rather than the ability to enunciate the various definitions, laws, and equations given in the text. It is hoped that from the study of the numerous solved problems the student will early acquire an ability ln effective attack as well as in the orderly presentation of work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from College Physics, Vol. 2: Electricity and Magnetism In order to explain attraction as well as repulsion, it was necessary to assume the existence of two different kinds of magnetism of opposite nature, positive and negative. Magnet ism was also assumed to be an imponderable substance, since the magnetization of a piece of iron or steel did not change its weight. We shall see later that this theory is unsatisfactory, and that the phenomena in question may be explained much better by the assumption that the medium between the poles is the real seat of magnetic action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Physics, Vol. 1 of 3: A College d104-Book The beginner in Physics, if he is to be well taught, must study a text-book which contains concise statements of physical laws and a systematic development of. Principles. He must attend lectures or demonstrations in which the phenomena are shown, and finally he must enter the laboratory and make physical measurements. The present book deals only with the first part of this triple course of instruction. It differs in certain respects from many books which have been written for beginners. Descriptions of the numerous phenomena with which it is necessary for the student to become acquainted have been largely omitted; the assumption being that the study of the text will always be accompanied by, and indeed be supplementary to, a course of carefully arranged and fully illustrated lectures. A knowledge of the elements of the calculus, the natural language of physics, has been taken for granted, but the degree of mathematical experience of the undergraduate reader, necessarily limited, has been kept in view and the various proofs and the demonstra tions have been given the simplest possible form. The concepts of directed and of distributed quantity, which are no less important to the student of physics than are the methods of the calculus, are briefly treated in Chapter II. Of Volume I. And in Chapter I. Of Volume II., respectively, and are used upon occasion throughout the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of General Physics: For the Use of Colleges and Scientific Schools The class of students for which this text-book is designed is supposed to have a useful knowledge of trigonometry, but not of calculus. This is in agreement with the courses of instruction in most of our American colleges; but it has ordinarily the disadvantage of leaving rather a large inter val between the study of the philosophy of physics and the application of its principles to engineering. Especially true is this of thermodynamics and electricity where it is Often difficult for the student to recognize the fact that the un accustomed mathematical processes are simply easier means of attaining an understanding of a physical problem and not an end in themselves. For this reason the subjects men tioned are developed with somewhat more completeness than usual, so that the engineering student can find the essential notions of his advanced work logically connected with those acquired at an earlier time. Of course such an extension implies an exercise of choice on the 'part of the teacher as to what may be omitted in first reading with a class of which only a portion expects to pursue the subject farther. In Chapter XLI will be found a treatment, quite ele mentary in character, of the limiting powers of optical instruments. This is, of course, of great philosophical in terest, because it is by the means of such instruments that we attain the greatest enlargement of our intellectual horizon. Notwithstanding the simplicity of the exposition, it does-not seem to have been done before in unmathematical language.
