Opis: Physics - Art Hobson

Written for the non-science major, this text emphasizes modern physics and the scientific process-and engages students by drawing connections between physics and everyday experience. Hobson takes a conceptual approach, with an appropriate focus on quantitative skills. The Fifth Edition increases coverage of key environmental topics such as global warming and energy, and adds new topics such as momentum. Hobson's text remains the least expensive textbook available for students taking nonmajors physics.Part 1: Prelude: Of Stars and Atoms Ch 1: The Way of Science: Experience and Reason Ch 2: Atoms: The Nature of Things Part 2: The Newtonian Universe: A Clockwork Kingdom Ch 3: How Things Move: Galileo Asks the Right Questions Ch 4: Why Things Move as They Do Ch 5: Newton's Universe Part 3: Transition to the New Physics Ch 6: Conservation of Energy: You Can't Get Ahead Ch 7: Second Law of Thermodynamics: and you Can't Even Break Even Ch 8: Light and Electromagnetism Ch 9: Electromagnetism Radiation and Global Climate Change Part 4: The Post-Newtonian Universe: The Observer Intrudes Ch 10: The Special Theory of Relativity Ch 11: The General Theory of Relativity and the New Cosmology Ch 12: The Quantum Idea Ch 13: The Quantum Universe Part 5: Within the Atom: Fire of the Nucleus, Fire of the Sun Ch 14: The Nucleus and Radioactivity: An New Force Ch 15: Fusion and Fission: and a New Energy Ch 16: The Energy Challenge Ch 17: Quantum Fields: Relativity Meets the Quantum
