It presents 42 problems with solutions in a straightforward way, exploring different questions and scenarios that arise, to guide the reader through and encourage enquiry-based scientific practice.

Fascinating Problems for Young Physicists Summary

Fascinating Problems for Young Physicists: Discovering Everyday Physics Phenomena and Solving Them by Nenad Vukmirovic

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.

About Nenad Vukmirovic

Nenad Vukmirovic has been a professor at the Institute of Physics Belgrade, Serbia, since 2010. His research interests are in theory and simulation of electronic properties of semiconductor materials and nanostructures. He is also very active in work with talented high school students. Nenad has been the author of many problems at high school physics competitions since 2012, including the problems at the final stage of the competitions such as the Serbian Physics Olympiad. Vladimir Veljic received his PhD in physics in 2019 at the University of Belgrade, following which working with high school students revealed his passion for physics education. Vladimir has been the author of theoretical problems for several levels of competitions and has been a part of several national- and international-level Olympiads.
