ISBN: 978–0–19–958252–5

Published: 2010

Description:
It is in the study of classical mechanics that we first encounter many of the basic ingredients that are essential to our understanding of the physical universe. The concepts include statements concerning space and time, velocity, acceleration, mass, momentum, and force, and then an equation of motion and the indispensable law of action and reaction—all set (initially) in the background of an inertial frame of reference. Units for length, time, and mass are introduced, and the sanctity of the balance of units in any physical equation (dimensional analysis) is stressed. Reference is also made to the task of measuring these units—metrology, which has become such
an astonishing science/art.
