A comprehensive collection of interesting problems and solutions that guide students to discover physics in the real world.
Problem-solving is the cornerstone of all walks of scientific research. Fascinating Problems for Young Physicists attempts to clear the boundaries of seemingly abstract physical laws and their tangible effects through a step-by-step approach to physics in the world around us. It consists of 42 problems with detailed solutions, each describing a specific, interesting physical phenomenon. Each problem is further divided into questions designed to guide the reader through, encouraging engagement with and learning the physics behind the phenomenon. By solving the problems, the reader will be able to discover, for example, what the relation is between the mass of an animal and its expected lifetime, or what the efficiency limit is of wind turbines. Intended for first-year undergraduate students and interested high school students, this book develops inquiry-based scientific practice and enables students to acquire the necessary skills for applying the laws of physics to realistic situations.
You don't know that much about physics. You don't understand everything about gravity, magnetism, electricity or light, but you are curious and want to know more about these fields. This book helps you reaching this objective using many instructive and entertaining experiments. These are simple enough to be carried out using everyday objects at home or around it. They will fascinate not only teenagers but also adults who want to understand some of nature's fundamental laws and use them in their daily lives.
This book contains a summary of the latest experimental and theoretical results on matter at high pressure and temperature. Providing critical analysis of data and models ranging from matter in extreme states in the laboratory, relativistic heavy ion collisions, strongly coupled electromagnetic plasma, and extreme matter in astrophysics.
Solutions to the 25th & 26th International Young Physicists' Tournament provides original, quantitative solutions in fulfilling seemingly impossible tasks. The book expands on the solutions required by the problems. Many of the articles include modification, extension to existing models in references, or derivation and computation based on fundamental physics, and are not confined to the models and methods in present literatures.The International Young Physicists' Tournament (IYPT) is one of the most prestigious international physics contests among high school students. This book is based on the solutions of 2012 and 2013 IYPT problems. The young authors provide quantitative solutions to practical problems in everyday life, such as the 2013 problem “Bouncing ball” that shows “how the nature of the collision changes if the ball contains liquid”, “Colored plastic” (2013 problem 6) and “Helmholtz carousel” (2013 problem 12) etc.This book is intended as a college-level solutions guide to the challenging open-ended problems. It is a good reference book for undergraduates, advanced high-school students, physics educators and the curious public interested in the intriguing phenomenon encountered in daily life.
R.V. Jones' personal account of his key role in what Churchill called "The Wizard War" with British Scientific Intelligence from 1939 to 1945. Projects he worked on sought to combat Germany's applications of science during World War II, including navigational beams, chaff, and radar. Their efforts helped the Allies achieve ultimate victory.
Why is there eight times more ice in Antarctica than in the Arctic? Why can you warm your hands by blowing gently, and cool your hands by blowing hard? Why would a pitcher scuff a baseball?Which weighs more-a pound of feathers or a pound of iron? Let science experts Christopher Jargodzki and Franklin Potter guide you through the curiosities of physics and you'll find the answers to these and hundreds of other quirky conundrums. You'll discover why sounds carry well over water (especially in the summer), how a mouse can be levitated in a magnetic field, why backspin is so important when shooting a basketball, and whether women are indeed as strong as men. With nearly 400 questions and answers on everything from race cars to jumping fleas to vanishing elephants, Mad about Physics presents a comprehensive collection of braintwisters and paradoxes that will challenge and entertain even the brainiest of science lovers. Whether you're a physicist by trade or just want to give your brain a power workout, this collection of intriguing and unusual physics challenges will send you on a highly entertaining ride that reveals the relevance of physics in our everyday lives.
