A book to help students understand physics concepts and the role the
science plays in their lives This text has been written to engage
students in the subject of physics and promote their understanding of
key concepts. The loose leaf volume of Physics, 11th Edition, Volume
1, is designed to support student success. It opens by discussing
kinematics, forces, dynamics, and work and energy. It also provides
students with the concepts related to impulse and momentum as wells
rotational kinematic and dynamics. An exploration of principles, laws
and theories in the text includes: Newton's laws of motion, the ideal
gas law and kinetic theory, and the principle of linear superposition
and interference phenomena. Students also learn about electric forces,
fields, circuits and potential energy. The concept of light is explored
in relation to reflection, refraction, and the wave nature of light. The
text's final chapters look at the nature of the atom, nuclear physics
and nuclear energy. Each chapter of the book comes with a concept
summary to reinforce what has been presented. Students also expand
learning through solving problems, team problems, and
concept/calculations problems.
