In the newly revised Twelfth Edition of Physics: Volume 2, an accomplished team of physicists and educators delivers an accessible and rigorous approach to the skills students need to succeed in physics education. Readers will learn to understand foundational physics concepts, solve common physics problems, and see real-world applications of the included concepts to assist in retention and learning. The text includes Check Your Understanding questions, Math Skills boxes, multi-concept problems, and worked examples. The second volume of a two-volume set, Volume 2 explores ideas and concepts like the reflection, refraction, and wave-particle duality of light. Throughout, students knowledge is tested with concept and calculation problems and team exercises that focus on cooperation and learning.

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.

Physics, 12th Edition focuses on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and providing real-world applications and relevance. Conceptual examples, Concepts and Calculations problems, and Check Your Understanding questions help students understand physics principles. Math Skills boxes, multi-concept problems, and Examples with reasoning steps help students improve their reasoning skills while solving problems. “The Physics Of” boxes, and new “Physics in Biology, Sports, and Medicine” problems show students how physics principles are relevant to their everyday lives. A wide array of tools help students navigate through this course, and keep them engaged by encouraging active learning. Animated pre-lecture videos (created and narrated by the authors) explain the basic concepts and learning objectives of each section. Problem-solving strategies are discussed, and common misconceptions and potential pitfalls are addressed. Chalkboard videos demonstrate step-by-step practical solutions to typical homework problems. Finally, tutorials that implement a step-by-step approach are also offered, allowing students to develop their problem-solving skills.
