The Earth’s atmosphere, the thin envelope of air that surrounds our planet, consists of a mixture of gases, extending from the surface of the Earth to the edge of space and tied to the Earth mainly by its gravitational force, and partly by the magnetic field at high altitude. It comprises mainly molecular nitrogen (78% in mass) and molecular oxygen (21%), with the other 1% composed of trace …
This is a “minimalist” textbook for a first semester of university, calculus-based physics, covering classical mechanics (including one chapter on mechanical waves, but excluding fluids), plus a brief introduction to thermodynamics. The presentation owes much to Mazur’s The Principles and Practice of Physics: conservation laws, momentum and energy, are introduced before forces, and one-di…
