Overview of Introductory Physics, Building Understanding Book
Introductory Physics goes beyond the typical introductory text by assuming a basic understanding among readers and engaging them in dialogue about their own prior conceptions and strategies. The book explores the process of physical sense-making that underlies good problem solving and emphasizes a conceptual understanding as the key to quantitative problem solving. Careful attention is placed on the use of language, story line, visual imagery, and active reflection. Special Features ?ú The book integrates active learning exercises throughout the chapters ?ú It includes numerous worked-out examples ?ú It contains several illustrations that visually reinforce the concepts ?ú It evaluates both qualitative and quantitative understanding through end-of-chapter problem sets ?ú The book also provides extensive author-developed Web-based interactive exercises Table of Content Section I Mechanics ?ú Physics, Mathematics, and the Real World ?ú Describing Motion in One Dimension ?ú Constructing Two-Dimensional Motion from One-Dimensional Motions ?ú Interactions and Newton?s Laws of Motion ?ú Problem-Solving Using Newton?s Laws ?ú Bookkeeping on Physical Systems: The Concept of Energy ?ú More Bookkeeping: The Concept of Momentum ?ú Circular Motion, Central Forces, and Gravitation Section II Physics Of Extended Rigid Objects and Fluids ?ú Rotational Kinematics and Dynamics ?ú Statics and Dynamics of Fluids ?ú Thermal Properties of Matter ?ú The Kinetic Theory of Gases, Entropy, and Thermodynamics Section III Vibrations And Wave Phenomena ?ú Periodic Motion and Simple Harmonic Oscillators ?ú Waves and Sound ?ú Wave Optics ?ú The Geometry of Wave Paths and Image Formation: Geometric Optics ?ú Lenses and Optical Instruments Section IV Electricity and Magnetism ?ú Electrical Phenomena: Forces, Charges, Currents ?ú Electric Field and Electric Potential ?ú Quantitative Treatment of Current and Circuit Elements ?ú Quantitative Circuit Reasoning ?ú Magnetism and Magnetic Fields ?ú Electromagnetic Induction Section V Physics In The Twentieth Century ?ú As the Twentieth Century Opens: The Unanswered Questions ?ú Relativity ?ú Inroads into the Micro-Universe of Atoms ?ú The Concept of Quantization ?ú The Nucleus and Energy Technologies Appendix Answers to Odd-Numbered Problems Photo Credits Index
