This textbook provides an accessible introduction to physics for
undergraduate students in the life sciences, including those
majoring in all branches of biology, biochemistry, and psychology
and students working on pre-professional programs such as
pre-medical, pre-dental, and physical therapy. The text is geared
for the algebra-based physics course, often named College Physics
in the United States. The order of topics studied are such that
most of the problems in the text can be solved with the methods of
Statics or Dynamics. That is, they require a free body diagram, the
application of Newton’s Laws, and any necessary kinematics.
Constructing the text with a standardized problem-solving
methodology, simplifies this aspect of the course and allows
students to focus on the application of physics to the study of
biological systems. Along the way, students apply these techniques
to find the tension in a tendon, the sedimentation rate of red
blood cells in haemoglobin, the torques and forces on a bacterium
employing a flagellum to propel itself through a viscous fluid, and
the terminal velocity of a protein moving in a Gel Electrophoresis
device. This is part one of a two-volume set; volume 2 introduces
students to the conserved-quantities and applies these
problem-solving techniques to topics in Thermodynamics, Electrical
Circuits, Optics, and Atomic and Nuclear Physics always with
continued focus on biological applications.
