Unified Technical Concepts (UTC) is a modular system for teaching applied physics in two-year postsecondary programs. This UTC classroom textbook, consisting of 14 chapters, deals with physics for technicians. Addressed in the individual chapters of the guide are the following topics: force, work, rate, momentum, resistance, power, potential and kinetic energy, force transformers, energy converters, transducers, vibrations and waves, time constants, and radiation. Each chapter contains an instructional text, a summary, one or more demonstration activities, a self-check, and a list of references. (Appended to this textbook are the Greek alphabet, selected physical constants, selected astronomical data, and tables of conversion factors.) (MN)
