Describing Motion: The Physical World provides the quantitative description of a variety of physically important motions. Starting with simple examples of motion along a line the book introduces key concepts such as position velocity and acceleration using the fundamental rules of differential calculus. Topics include the free-fall motion of micro-gravity test vehicles the trajectories of long-jumpers and the orbital motion of satellites and space probes. The book also covers several essential mathematical tools. |Describing Motion The Physical World | Physics
