The new edition of this text which documents the latest developments and applications in the field is designed to allow flexibility when designing course syllabi and covers topics such as physics of architecture, 10-speed bikes, diffusion, bonding in molecules and solids, radiation dosimetry, cosmology and astrophysics and many more. New features of this edition include a new chapter on astrophysics and cosmology and special sections on problem solving, a discussion of molecules and solids, semiconductors and the solid state, an expanded treatment of how to use Newton's laws to solve problems. Other areas covered include heat and thermodynamics, vibration and sound, new applications such as TIA-temporary blood loops to the brain related to Bernoulli's principles, and Coriolis force. There are appendices on binomial expansion, trigonomic functions and identities, and Gauss's Law.
