What are the forces behind ballistics? Why do rocks and rockets soar through the air in an arch? The game is on the line. Suddenly, you hear the crack of a bat and the roar of crowd. Where will the ball land? How far will it travel? Is it a home run? You might think that hitting a home run or nailing a three-pointer is just luck, but there are many forces at work that determine if you’v…
Classical electromagnetism - one of the fundamental pillars of physics - is an important topic for all types of physicists from the theoretical to the applied. The subject is widely recognized to be one of the most challenging areas of the physics curriculum, both for students to learn and for lecturers to teach. Although textbooks on electromagnetism are plentiful, hardly any are written in th…
Volume 2 covers knowledge discovery in particle and astroparticle physics. Instruments gather petabytes of data and machine learning is used to process the vast amounts of data and to detect relevant examples efficiently. The physical knowledge is encoded in simulations used to train the machine learning models. The interpretation of the learned models serves to expand the physical knowledge re…
It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics around the world. Six Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, represent the most access…
Modul elektrostatik berguna bagi mahasiswa calon pendidik untuk memperkuat dasar pengetahuannya dalam kajian listrik magnet. Materi hukum Coulomb, medan listrik, potensial dan energi elektrostatik, hingga kapasitor, kapasitansi dan dielektrik adalah materi yang akan diajarkan di kelas XII SMA. Sementara materi hukum Gauss, metode matematika yang digunakan (persamaan Laplace, metode bayangan, se…
Dalam proses memasukkan suhu, kami menyinggung konsep perpindahan panas yang intuitif.Pada tahap ini, cukup dikatakan bahwa jika dua benda pada suhu yang berbeda dibawa kedalam "kontak termal", proses yang dikenal sebagai konduksi panas dapat terjadi yang memungkinkan energi untuk ditransfer antar benda meskipun benda bertukar tidak peduli dan tidak melakukan apapun pekerjaan mekanis satu sama …
