| physics for scientists and engineers chapter 9: Physics for Students of Science and Engineering A. L. Stanford, J. M. Tanner, 2014-05-10 Transparencies to Accompany Physics for Students of Science and Engineering is a collection of 151 transparencies, illustrations, figures, and a table of moments of inertia of some common shapes that students in physics, science or engineering will find useful in advancing their course. One type of figure concerns vectors, particularly a graphical addition of three vectors, a graphical representation of vector subtraction, and of a particle in uniform circular motion. The illustrations show the construction of a force diagram with the subject block in the force diagram represented as a particle at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. Other illustrations include the construction of force diagrams for a two-body system and for a block moving down an inclined plane. The illustrations depict an object on a horizontal surface resting, resting with a small horizontal force applied, resting with a great horizontal force applied without moving the object, and moving at a constant velocity with a horizontal force applied. Another figure shows a section of a thin soap film with air on either side of the film, with the light reaching each surface of the film partly reflected and partly transmitted. Each surface in the diagram indicates the phase changes that occur upon reflection. Some examples of moments of inertia include those of a hoop, disk, uniform solid sphere, and a uniform long, thin rod. The book is an aid to students and to professors of physics, calculus, and related courses in science or engineering. |

| physics for scientists and engineers chapter 9: Biocivilisations Predrag Slijepcevic, 2023-05-18 Biocivilisations is a fascinating, original and important exploration into how complex civilisations existed on Earth long before humans. What is life? This is arguably the most important question in all of science. Many scientists believe life can be reduced to ‘mechanistic’ factors, such as genes and information codes. Everything can be sequenced and explained. But in a world as rich and complex as this one, can such an assertion really be true? A growing army of scientists, philosophers and artists do not share this mechanistic vision for the science of life. The gene metaphor is not only too simplistic but also misleading. If there is a way to reduce life to a single principle, how does that principle acknowledge the creativity of life that turns both genetic and information determinism on their heads? Biocivilisations is a groundbreaking book exploring the mysteries of life and its deep uncertainty. Dr Predrag Slijepčević turns anthropocentric scientific thinking on its head, showing how the humble bacteria created the equivalent of cities and connected them with information highways, bringing our planet to life three thousand million years ago. He explains how bacteria, amoebas, plants, insects, birds, whales, elephants and countless other species not only preceded human beings but also demonstrate elements of complex civilisation – communication, agriculture, science, art, medicine and more – that we associate with human achievement. More than 99.99 percent of life on Earth has existed without humanity, and life will continue without humans long into the future. Biocivilisations is an important rethinking of the current scientific paradigm. It challenges us to reconsider the limited scope and time-window of our current ‘scientific revolution’ and to fundamentally reimagine what we call ‘life on Earth’. |

| physics for scientists and engineers chapter 9: Social Responsibility in Science, Technology, and Medicine Paul T. Durbin, 1992 Not everyone agrees that professionals - including academic philosophers - need to be actively engaged in this fashion.
