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.
