University Physics Summary

University Physics: Models and Applications by W.P. Crummett

This text begins with a discussion of new concepts and then explicitly describes models which extract essential features of the phenomenon. After these steps are completed, equations are derived from an analysis of the relevant model. Examples are drawn from modern technology, including computerized motion-analysis, digital voltmeters, optical fibres and compact disc players.

Part 1 Mechanics: physics and measurement; vector algebra; motion along a straight line; motion in two dimensions; forces - Newton's three laws of motion; additional force models and circular motion; work and kinetic energy; conservation of energy; impulse and linear momentum; momentum, energy and the centre of mass; rotation about a fixed axis; static equilibrium and rolling objects; vector descriptions of rotational motion; oscillations; one-dimensional waves; solids, liquids and gases; sound. Part 2 Thermodynamics: temperature, heat and the equation of state; thermodynamics I - processes and the first law; thermodynamics II - the second law; microscopic connections to thermodynamics. Part 3 Electricity and magnetism: stationary charges and the electric field; Gauss's law; electric potential; capacitors and dielectrics; electric current and resistance; direct current circuits; the magnetic field; sources of magnetic fields; Faraday's law and induction; inductance; magnetic properties of materials (optional); alternating-current circuits; electromagnetic waves. Part 4 Optics: reflection, refraction and polarization of light; geometric optics; interference of light; diffraction of light. Part 5 Modern physics: special theory of relativity; the birth of quantum physics. Appendices: mathematics summary; numerical analysis fundamentals; list of symbols; Greek letters; conversion factors; periodic table and atomic masses; fundamental constants; astronomical tables; properties of common sporting balls; introduction to spreadsheets; Nobel prize recipients; list of tables; answer to odd-numbered problems.
