Overview

It presents a good balance of quantitative and conceptual material, integrating simple math into the conceptual physics framework so students see the practicality of physics and have a means of testing its validity. It also emphasizes the relevance of physics to our lives with many applied examples. Major topics include: motion, Newtons Laws, energy, optics, soundwaves, electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear power. Features include opening Prologues, Physics Potpourris, Do-It-Yourself and Do-It-Together experiments, Historical Notes, and Learning Checks. Concept Maps show how abstract concepts tie together. This edition contains an epilogue on general relativity and cosmology and sections on blue skies, heat and internal energy, speed and velocity. Full-color throughout.
