| dc.description | In all further chapters the description of the real world by successively refined models is outlined. It
begins with the model of a point mass, its motion under the action of forces and its limitations. Since
the description of moving masses requires a coordinate system, the transformation of results obtained
in one system to another system moving against the first one is described. This leads to the theory
of special relativity, which is discussed in Chap. 3. The next chapter upgrades the model of point
masses to spatially extended rigid bodies, where the spatial extension of a body cannot be ignored
but influences the results. Then the deformation of bodies under the influence of forces is discussed
and phenomena caused by this deformation are explained. The existence of different phases (solid,
liquid and gaseous) and their relation with external influences such as temperature and pressure, are
discussed. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The present textbook represents the first part of a four-volume series on experimental Physics. It covers
the field of Mechanics and Thermodynamics. One of its goal is to illustrate, that the explanation of our
world and of all natural processes by Physics is always the description of models of our world, which
are formulated by theory and proved by experiments. The continuous improvement of these models
leads to a more detailled understanding of our world and of the processes that proceed in it.
The representation of this textbook starts with an introductory chapter giving a brief survey of the his-
tory and development of Physics and its present relevance for other sciences and for technology. Since
experimental Physics is based on measuring techniques and quantitative results, a section discusses
basic units, techniques for their measurements and the accuracy and possible errors of measurements. | en_US |
