Download or read book Properties of Matter Vol 5 Classic Reprint written by C. J. L. Wagstaff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Properties of Matter, Vol. 5 Under the title Properties of Matter the author has endeavoured to treat those branches of Physics which are not usually included in books on Light, Sound, Heat, or Electricity. The book is intended for use in Secondary Schools, Technical Schools, and University Colleges, and includes all that is usually, required for a Pass degree. The treatment is experimental, and the use of advanced mathematics has been avoided; but the calculus has been used in places where the avoidance of it leads to tedious calculations. It is hoped that this volume will fulfil a useful function by providing an elementary course of work on the Properties of Matter, from which the more intricate details and the more advanced theory are omitted.

This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Properties of Matter and Heat The following Lecture Notes have been privately printed for the use of students taking sophomore Physics in the University of California. Students cannot be too often reminded that they cannot really learn the principles of Physics unless they become acquainted with them at first hand from daily experience or from individual or lecture experiments; text-books are merely guides to the use of such material. They are very necessary guides, however, for without them it would be impossible for any one person to properly classify, coordinate, and interpret his knowledge, to fill the gaps in his experience, or to get a proper perspective view of the whole subject. In reading, however, do not in any case try to recall the statements as given in the book. See, if you can, the thing or the phenomenon to which your attention is called by'it, and try to remember what your own eyes have seen; if that is impossible, try to form a mental picture of the thing or the phenomenon, not of the words of the book. A proper use of the imagination in this way will make the study a much easier one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discoveries: Of Misconceptions Regarding the Properties of Matter Within the Science of Chemistry; Addressed to the Council of the Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, Cal;, March 1, 1898 I have also sent a paper, with explanations, to the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England. I make these admissions to you to let you know that I, as a student of the same science, am urged onward by the courage of my convictions, and firmly believe that I hold the key to a solution of many mysteries that are at the present day agitating the entire field of science; and this, simply on account of errors that exist in this great sub-stratum of all the other super-structural sciences. As the proper handling of the methods of proof involve an almost limitless field of minor or relative discoveries, it will be impossible for me to present to you in the paper anything more than a most restricted outline of a few of the errors to which I have called your attention. I wish to add further that these discoveries, after a most rigid application of test by myself, during three years, affect every other branch science now recognized by the civilized world, and throw a flood of light or understanding upon nearly all that has heretofore been regarded within those fields as unfathomable mysteries. This may seem to you a broad assertion, but I am not willing to withdraw it until such time as I may be convinced by others to be myself in error of perception; a circumstance, I can consistently prognosticate, that will never transpire. A recognition of this fundamental truth now brought to your notice, and hitherto unrecognized in all ages of the world, whether it be applied as blind experimental theory or assumed at the beginning as truth, throws the light of understanding into every nook and corner of the science of Astronomy, and reduces its unproductive theories ninety-nine per cent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Somatology: A Treatise on the General Properties of Matter Nature may be defined the system of the world or the universe; and may be considered as embracing two great departments, mind and matter. Mind is the part ot'a being Which perceives, thinks, wills, and is susceptible of moral emotion. Matter or substance is What may be seen or felt, or may affect any of our senses. Of the absolute nature of either mind or matter we can have no definite idea; we know them only by their properties: these are so different as to lead, perhaps universally, to the division of general sciences into two great classes corresponding to the two objects of contemplation, viz. Metaphysics, the science of mind, and Natural Philosophy, the science of matter. These, though to a certain extent independent, are, never.

Download or read book The Concept of Matter Classic Reprint written by Ernan McMullin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concept of Matter The notion of a matter that underlies can reasonably be said to be the Oldest conceptual tool in the Western speculative tradition. Scarcely a single major philosopher in the short but incredibly fertile period that separates Thales from Whitehead has omitted it from the handful of basic ideas with which he set out to make Nature more intelligible to man. In many in stances, ancrent and modern, an initial judgement about the role to be attrib uted to matter has been decisive in orienting a philosophic system as a whole. SO that to trace the story of the concept of matter is almost to trace the story of philosophy itself. In addition, this concept played a central part in the complex story of the dissociation Of what we today call natural science from its parent, natural philosophy. The new physics (like the old) was concerned with motion, but its practitioners were less interested in defini tions Of motion than in the charting Of the motions of different bodies and their reduction to a few abstract quantitative formulae Of great predictive power. The Optimistic belief that such a reduction could be brought about depended on the existence of an intrinsic motion - factor peculiar to each body, one that could somehow be operationally defined just as volume and velocity could. In the long Search for this factor - a search which, as we Shall see, is not yet at an end - one Older concept played an indispensable role. Mass (as the motion - factor came to be called) was first grasped as the quantity Of matter. The subsequent history Of this definition and Of the gradual sunder ing Of the concepts Of matter and mass is enormously significant because of the light it can throw'on the relationship between philosophic and scientific concepts generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Chemistry A chemical change takes place when a substance, or substances, undergoes a change into a new substance, or substances, with widely different properties. Chemical changes usually involve the production of or the absorption of a large amount of heat. The burning of charcoal is one of the best known and most typical of chemical changes. Conservation of Matter: The amount of matter in the universe is constant; matter is not created or destroyed. This statement is known as the law of the conservation of matter. Physical changes are those in which bodies of substance are changed in any way without being altered in their chemical nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fitness of the Environment: An Inquiry Into the Biological Significance of the Properties of Matter Darwinian fitness is compounded of a mutual relationship between the organism and the environment. Of this, fitness of environment is quite as essential a component as the fitness which arises in the process o' organic evolution; and in fundamental characteristics the actual environment is the fittest possible abode of life. Such is the thesis which the present volume seeks to establish, This is not a novel hypothesis. In rudimentary form it has already a long history behind it, and it was a familiar doctrine in the early nineteenth century. It presents itself anew as a result of the recent growth of the science of physical chemistry. About fifteen years ago I first became interested in the connection between physical and chemical properties of simple substances and the organic functions which they serve.

Download or read book The Scientific Papers of James Clerk Maxwell Classic Reprint written by James Clerk Maxwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 842 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scientific Papers of James Clerk Maxwell The gaseous form of matter is distinguished by the great simplification which occurs in the expression of the properties of matter when it passes into that state from the solid or liquid form. The simplicity of the relations between density, pressure, and temperature, and between the volume and the number of molecules, seems to indicate that the molecules of bodies, when in the gaseous state, are less impeded by any complicated mechanism than when they subside into the liquid or solid states. The investigation of other properties of matter is therefore likely to be more simple if we begin our research with matter in the form of a gas. The viscosity of a body is the resistance which it offers to a continuous change of form, depending on the rate at which that change is effected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Matter and Motion Physical science, which up to the end of the eighteenth century had been fully occupied in forming a conception Of natural phenomena as the result of forces acting between one body and another, has now fairly entered on the next stage of progress - that in which the energy Of a material system is conceived as determined by the configuration and motion of that system, and in which the ideas of configuration, motion, and force are generalised to the utmost extent warranted by their physical definitions. TO become acquainted with these fundamental ideas, to examine them under all their aspects, and habitually to guide the current of thought along the channels of strict dynamical reasoning, must be the foundation of the training Of the student of Physical Science. The following statement of the fundamental doctrines of Matter and Motion is therefore to be regarded as an introduction to the study of Physical Science in general.
