Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book shines a light on the fundamental principles of dynamics, a branch of physics that unravels the mysteries of how objects move and interact under the influence of forces. From the introductory concepts of velocity and acceleration to the exploration of mass and force, the author skillfully breaks down complex ideas into manageable components. The book traces the rich history of dynamics, showcasing the contributions of pioneering scientists like Newton and his groundbreaking laws of motion. By examining real-world examples, the author illuminates the practical applications of dynamics in fields like engineering, sports, and astronomy. Delving deeper into the subject, the author explores the relationship between energy, work, and power, shedding light on how these factors influence the motion of objects. The discussion encompasses both linear and circular motion, providing a comprehensive understanding of how objects move in different contexts. The insights presented in this book extend beyond the realm of theoretical knowledge, empowering readers to apply these principles to their everyday lives. By understanding the dynamics of motion, we gain a profound appreciation for the intricate mechanics that govern our world and the universe beyond. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from Dynamics for Beginners

This work has been written in the hope of supplying a want which I believe is very widely felt; viz. Of a book which explains the elementary principles of Dynamics, illustrating them by numerous easy 7m merical examples in a manner suitable for use in Schools with boys of ordinary mathematical attain ments.

I have adopted a suggestion, - due I believe to Mr Hayward, of Harrow School - that the first part of the book should treat exclusively of Linear Dynamics; thus avoiding, at the beginning of the subject, all purely geometrical difficulties.

It will be found that, with the exception of one or two Articles, Sections I. And IV. (which may be read separately, and in which the fundamental Principles of Dynamics are explained) demand only a know ledge of Simple Equations in Algebra. In no case is any greater knowledge on the part of the Student assumed, than is denoted by Progressions in Algebra, the Trigonometry of one Angle, and (in Chapters IX. And X.) the Parabola.

I have ventured to suggest names for the units of velocity and acceleration, the use of which will be found to simplify considerably the language of the subject.

I should be greatly obliged to those who may make use of the book if they would point out any defects or obscurities in the text or would offer suggestions for its improvement.
