MUST 1215 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Psychoacoustics, Ultraviolet, Magnetostatics
Document Summary
The natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Classical mechanics is a model of the physics of forces acting upon bodies. It is often referred to as newtonian mechanics after isaac newton and his laws of motion. Thermodynamics studies the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume on physical systems on the macroscopic scale, and the transfer of energy as heat. The starting point for most thermodynamic considerations is the law of thermodynamics, which postulate that energy can be exchanged between physical systems as heat or work. Electrostatics deals with electric charges at rest, electrodynamics with moving charges, and magnetostatics with magnetic poles at rest. Acoustics is the study of how sound is produced, controlled, transmitted and received.
