Motion studies as a field of physics deals with motion of atom and molecules of solids, liquids and gases along with various factors impacting the movements. As such numerous related concepts like elasticity, surface tension, stress and strain, viscosity and velocity affect motion to a great extent and needed deep examination. Concepts of heat, energy and temperature are part and parcel of the thermodynamics and have immense practical utility. In its vast domain, laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, conduction, radiation and calorimetry are some of the important topics that must be learned by every student of science. “Motion Studies and Thermodynamics†deals with one of the most important fields of physics. Presenting harmonic motion, resonance, gravitation and potential, elasticity, surface tension, viscosity, wave motion, velocity of sound, musical sound and relative motion along with related phenomena and concepts. In addition, the book makes elaborate and lucid discussion on thermometry, gas laws, calorimetry, measurement of heat, conductivity, radiation, thermal expansion, kinetic theory, laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, corresponding states, etc., together with related concepts. Diagrammatic explanation and exercises are included to facilitate easy understanding. Suitable to the needs of students and teachers of science towards obtaining excellent results, the book is also of immense utility to general readers.
