Liftoff of the space shuttle Columbia.
The tragic accident of February 1, 2003 that took
the lives of all seven astronauts aboard happened just before Volume 1 of this book went to
press.
The launch and operation of a space shuttle involves many fundamental principles of
classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism.
We study the principles of
classical mechanics in Part 1 of this text, and apply these principles to rocket propulsion in
Chapter 9.

hysics, the most fundamental physical science, is concerned with the basic
principles of the Universe.
It is the foundation upon which the other sciences—
astronomy, biology, chemistry, and geology—are based.
The beauty of physics
lies in the simplicity of the fundamental physical theories and in the manner in which
just a small number of fundamental concepts, equations, and assumptions can alter
and expand our view of the world around us.
The study of physics can be divided into six main areas:
