(7.97) This is the Rutherford-scattering differential-cross-section formula. Around 1910, Rutherford and his students bombarded metal foils with alpha particles. Their results for the distribution of scattering angles were consistent ...
A cricketer bats a ball, and at the same time a fielder at 50m distance starts to run to take the catch. The fielder catches the ball after 5s at a distance of 70m at 2m above the ground. Calculate: (a) The velocity and the angle of ...
The book deals with the mechanics of particles and rigid bodies.
Supplementary textbook for all levels of undergraduate physics courses in classical mechanics.
Remarks are scattered throughout the text, discussing issues that are often glossed over in other textbooks, and it is thoroughly illustrated with more than 600 figures to help demonstrate key concepts.
Our aim has been to produce a mechanics text, suitable for use at beginning university level, for students who have a background typified by the British sixth-form level in physics and mathematics. We hope, however, that the book will ...
Featuring state-of-the-art computer based technology throughout, this comprehensive book on classical mechanics bridges the gap between introductory physics and quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and optics-giving readers a strong ...
Both lectures assume a good, concurrent course in calculus and familiarity with basic concepts in physics; the development is otherwise self-contained.As an aid for teaching and learning, and as was previously done with the publication of ...
