About this book
Arranged as a course of questions and numerical exercises, Charles Philo Matthews’s physics manual is for students learning to define physical ideas and apply them. One mechanics problem asks how a force can bring a moving mass to rest, and its solution works through the change in speed before calculating the force. Later, calorimetry problems concern mixtures of water and heated metals, while the induction section turns to dynamos and their behavior. Practice takes precedence over continuous explanation, with some calculations worked out and others left for the student.
