| Opplysninger | Surveying the skies -- Vectors -- Using vectors to describe motion -- The first conservation law: mass, momentum, and rocketry -- Collisions and the center of mass -- Acceleration, force, and Newton's laws -- Circular motion, simple harmonic motion, and time -- Kepler's laws and Newton's discovery of universal gravitation -- The second conservation law: energy -- Gravitational potential energy and orbital motion -- Rotations and the third conservation law: angular momentum -- Angular momentum and its conservation -- Torque, angular momentum, and the earth-moon system -- Dark matter, dark energy, and the fate of the universe.. - "Physics from Planet Earth - An Introduction to Mechanics provides a one-semester, calculus-based introduction to classical mechanics for first-year undergraduate students studying physics, chemistry, astronomy, or engineering. Developed from classroom-tested materials refined and updated for over ten years at Colgate University, the book guides students on a journey beyond standard approaches that use blocks, projectiles, and inclined planes to grander themes involving interplanetary travel, exoplanets, asteroid collisions, and dark matter."
