University Physics Volume 2 is the second of a three book series that (together) covers a two- or three-semester calculus-based physics course. This text has been developed to meet the scope and sequence of most university physics courses (in terms of what Volume 2 is designed to deliver) and provides a foundation for a career in mathematics, science, or engineering. The book provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of physics and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and to the world around them.

This activity is a method of tying a multitude of physical (and chemical) properties together showing what makes a substance unique and identifiable. This activity is a great way to lead the students into developing their procedures, their further investigations, and yet giving them the feeling of responsibility and ownership for their learning.

This course offers an introduction to probability, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics. Numerous examples are used to illustrate a wide variety of physical phenomena such as magnetism, polyatomic gases, thermal radiation, electrons in solids, and noise in electronic devices.
This course is an elective subject in MIT’s undergraduate Energy Studies Minor. This Institute-wide program complements the deep expertise obtained in any major with a broad understanding of the interlinked realms of science, technology, and social sciences as they relate to energy and associated environmental challenges.

Short Description:
This is a textbook for life science students. It is calculus based. The author, Jennifer Kirkey, used material from a variety of Open Stax books. It is organized such that topics are introduced conceptually with a steady progression to precise definitions and analytical applications.

Long Description:
This is a textbook for life science students. It is calculus based. The author, Jennifer Kirkey, used material from a variety of Open Stax books. College Physics is organized such that topics are introduced conceptually with a steady progression to precise definitions and analytical applications. The analytical aspect (problem solving) is tied back to the conceptual before moving on to another topic. Each introductory chapter, for example, opens with an engaging photograph relevant to the subject of the chapter and interesting applications that are easy for most students to visualize.

Twenty lab exercises for undergraduate-level physical geography laboratory courses. Lab manual highlights include: Customizable components to suit your needs for synchronous, asynchronous, or face-to-face instruction; Meets the C-ID descriptor requirements for content, lab activities, and objectives while including geotechnology applications and environmental justice topics where appropriate; Each lab exercise underwent peer review to ensure clarity, currency, and utility.

Freebookcentre.net's physics section contains links to many technical books offered free online, either as html pages or downloadable pdfs. Books are arranged by subject: Basic, Theoretical, Atomic, Particle, Quantum, and Nuclear Physics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Classical Mechanics, and more.

This is a PBL project that had students design and present to a panel of local experts a set of possible rides for a proposed amusement park as a way for them to master and apply the concepts of rotational motion. It was specifically designed to help students increase their depth of knowledge of angular kinematics, force, energy, and momentum. The project required students to design and then describe in detail one or more amusement park rides that would be the basis of authentically demonstrating their depth of knowledge for these topics. Note that the project was designed and delivered per the North Carolina honors Physics curriculum and it can be customized to meet your own specific curriculum needs and resources.

This Remote Learning Plan was created by Marla Prusa in collaboration with Craig Hicks as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for Grades 9 - 12 Family and Consumer Science students. Students will create a fact sheet, video, poster or brochure focusing on the physical development of toddlers that can be shared with other students, caregivers or parents.. This Remote Learning Plan addresses the following NDE Standard:  HSE.HS.2.4  Apply strategies that support and develop growth of the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of a child.It is expected that this Remote Learning Plan will take students 120 minutes to complete.Here is the direct link to the Google Doc:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bc7TnbKro9X7QwrdvFfsmzwhCHAm8mwTFDoj7YT1d6g/edit?usp=sharing

This activity is a hands on investigation in which students will construct, and launch a trebuchet.

This page is part of NASA's Earth Observatory website. It features text and a scientific illustration to describe how the ocean interacts with the atmosphere, physically exchanging heat, water, and momentum. It also includes links to related data sets, other ocean fact sheets, and relevant satellite missions.

This is the first of a two-semester subject sequence that provides the foundations for contemporary research in selected areas of atomic and optical physics. Topics covered include the interaction of radiation with atoms: resonance; absorption, stimulated and spontaneous emission; methods of resonance, dressed atom formalism, masers and lasers, cavity quantum electrodynamics; structure of simple atoms, behavior in very strong fields; fundamental tests: time reversal, parity violations, Bell’s inequalities; and experimental methods.

This activity is an investigation of free fall and projectile motion through a track and field situation.

This lesson will help you understand typical physical development or, in other words, how children develop and refine motor skills, during their preschool years. You will learn about the progression of developmental milestones and what to do if you are concerned about a child’s development.

My name is Ahmed Malik and I am a 3rd year at the University of Chicago. I like to use visualizations/interactive elements to convey information in an aesthetic fashion. I believe that OpenStax can benefit from becoming more interactive, so I created an example of an interactive "textbook" and shared it with the OpenStax staff. They asked me to post it on this group so we can get more feedback. I would greatly appreciate all comments and ideas. My goal is to make something like this for all standard physics subjects, (mechanics, E&M, quantum mechanics, etc), and I believe it could even be applied to other subjects.

(PS: This is meant to be an interactive web experience, but I had issues posting it online, so I just recorded myself using it as another student would)

Students will complete a laboratory experiment, followed by answering questions as to whether the changes were physical or chemical in nature.

This course will focus for a large part on MOSFET and CMOS, but also on heterojunction BJT, and photonic devices.First non-ideal characteristics of MOSFETs will be discussed, like channel-length modulation and short-channel effects. We will also pay attention to threshold voltage modification by varying the dopant concentration. Further, MOS scaling will be discussed. A combination of an n-channel and p-channel MOSFET is used for CMOS devices that form the basis for current digital technology. The operation of a CMOS inverter will be explained. We will explain in more detail how the transfer characteristics relate to the CMOS design.
