Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.

Classical Physics: Concepts, Applications, and Interpretations makes classical physics and its applications accessible and engaging, fostering a deeper understanding of fundamental physics concepts. Accessibly written, this book helps students understand and put core classical physics principles into practice, from classical mechanics to astrophysics to the basics of atomic, molecular, and chemical physics. Additionally, the book provides easy-to-understand methods for explaining orbital motion using the concept of jerk, and similarly explores negative pressure and its applications in various fields, tying in new interpretations of negative pressure as a fifth force in the universe.
The book bridges the gap between classical physics and its applications in different disciplines, providing students and researchers with a more intuitive and accurate understanding of fundamental concepts. It includes structured content and corresponding applications and figures, complemented by simple experiments to bolster students’ understanding. From an explanation of orbital motion to navigating the thermodynamics of negative pressure to diving into artificial lunar motion, the book provides novel insights into these phenomena. Ideal for courses in physics, mathematics, and related subjects, this helpful first edition delivers engaging explanations and additions to the role and importance of classical physics in our modern understanding of the field.
Key Features
- Builds fundamental knowledge and core skills in classical physics
- Adopts an illustrative, pedagogical approach, with numerous figures and examples that are ideal for undergraduate students
- Strikes a balance between breadth and depth, tying fresh interpretations to classical physics
- Offers online support, including videos for students and instructors and presentation slides for instructors
