This one-semester survey of principles of physics for technical students emphasizes practical applications that represent a broad coverage of physics as it relates to the various technical areas. The concepts presented allow students to relate the principles of physics to practical job-related applications. The questions and problems at the end of each chapter have been carefully chosen for their realistic application to industry and for their instructional value. The only mathematics prerequisite is the algebra necessary to understand simple formulas. For teaching convenience, the more difficult sections of the text, which are optional, are identified by asterisks in the table of contents.

Written by the chief physicist at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, this easy-to-read short textbook explains the physics behind multi-detector CT technology, particularly newer, more complex technology. The focus is on principles of physics, effects of scan parameters on image quality, and optimum radiation dosage. The book includes numerous key points summaries and questions to assist in exam preparation.

In this, the second volume in an important new series presenting core concepts across a range of critical areas of human knowledge, author Joanne Baker unravels the complexities of 20th-century scientific theory for a general readership. From Hubble's law to the Pauli exclusion principle, and from Schrodinger's cat to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, she explains ideas at the cutting-edge of scientific enquiry, making them comprehensible and accessible to the layperson.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Inspired by the fantastic worlds of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Back to the Future, the renowned theoretical physicist and national bestselling author of The God Equation takes an informed, serious, and often surprising look at what our current understanding of the universe's physical laws may permit in the near and distant future. Teleportation, time machines, force fields, and interstellar space ships—the stuff of science fiction or potentially attainable future technologies? Entertaining, informative, and imaginative, Physics of the Impossible probes the very limits of human ingenuity and scientific possibility.

This highly successful textbook presents clear, to-the-point topical coverage of basic physics applied to industrial and technical fields. A wealth of real-world applications are presented, motivating students by teaching physics concepts in context. KEY FEATURES: Detailed, well-illustrated examples support student understanding of skills and concepts. Extensive problem sets assist student learning by providing ample opportunity for practice. Physics Connections relate the text material to everyday life experiences. Applied Concepts problems foster critical thinking. Try This Activity involve demonstrations or mini-activities that can be performed by students to experience a physics concept. Biographical sketches of important scientists connect ideas with real people. Unique Problem-Solving Method This textbook teaches students to use a proven, effective problem-solving methodology. The consistent use of this special problem-solving method trains students to make a sketch, identify the data elements, select the appropriate equation, solve for the unknown quantity, and substitute the data in the working equation. An icon that outlines the method is placed in the margin of most problem sets as a reminder to students. NEW TO THIS EDITION NEW! Appendix C, Problem-Solving Strategy: Dimensional and Unit Analysis NEW! Section on Alternative Energy Sources NEW! "Physics Connections" features More than 80 new color photos and 30 art illustrations enhance student learning A companion Laboratory Manual contains laboratory exercises that reinforce and illustrate the physics principles.
