Sears and Zemansky’s University Physics: Mechanics (Volume I)

0.0

University Physics – Mechanics, encapsulated the chapters relating to Mechanics from Sears and Zemansky’s University Physics Twelfth Edition. The book continues an unmatched history of innovation and careful execution that was established by the bestselling eleventh edition. Assimilating the best ideas from education research, this new edition provides enhanced problem-solving instruction, pioneering visual and conceptual pedagogy, the first systematically enhanced problems, and the most pedagogically proven and widely used homework and tutorial systems available. Salient Features The acclaimed, consistent, and explicit four-step problem-solving framework (Identity, Set Up, Execute, and Evaluate) is used throughout every worked example, chapter-specific problem-solving strategy, and solution. Worked examples incorporate vivid sketches to guide you through this important step Student interest in the subject is kindled by a thought-provoking probe which kicks off each new chapter. Based on real life situations, these questions, pertinent to the topic under discussion, are convincingly addressed at the chapter-end and enable you to correlate observed effects with physical causes A streamlined and systematic learning path of instruction followed by practice includes Learning Goals at the start of each chapter and Visual Chapter Summaries that consolidates each concept in figures, math, and words The instructional power of figures is enhanced by using the research proven technique of “annotation” (chalkboard-style commentary integrated into the figures to guide you in interpreting the figure) Renowned for providing the widest ranging and most effective problems available, the twelfth edition goes further – it provides the first library of physics problems systematically enhanced based on feedback about students performance There is also a Chapter Opening Question and a list of Learning Goals to make the reader think about the subject matter of the chapter ahead. (To find the answer for the question, look for the? icon At the end of each chapter is a collection of Discussion Questions that probe and extend the student’s conceptual understanding Table of Contents Physical Quantities and Vectors Motion along a Straight Line Motion in Two or Three Dimensions Newton’s Laws of Motion Applying Newton’s Laws Work and Kinetic Energy Potential Energy and Energy Conservation Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions Rotation of Rigid Bodies Dynamics of Rotational Motion Equilibrium and Elasticity Gravitation Periodic Motion Fluid Mechanics
