Accessibly written, this book helps students understand and put core classical physics principles into practice, from classical mechanics to astrophysics to the basics of atomic, molecular, and chemical physics. Additionally, the book provides easy-to-understand methods for explaining orbital motion using the concept of jerk, and similarly explores negative pressure and its applications in various fields, tying in new interpretations of negative pressure as a fifth force in the universe.
The book bridges the gap between classical physics and its applications in different disciplines, providing students and researchers with a more intuitive and accurate understanding of fundamental concepts. It includes structured content and corresponding applications and figures, complemented by simple experiments to bolster students’ understanding. From an explanation of orbital motion to navigating the thermodynamics of negative pressure to diving into artificial lunar motion, the book provides novel insights into these phenomena. Ideal for courses in physics, mathematics, and related subjects, this helpful first edition delivers engaging explanations and additions to the role and importance of classical physics in our modern understanding of the field.
