University Physics with Modern Physics, Global Edition

Product Information

Key Concept statements to help you learn to look beyond the objects of the problem and recognise the underlying principle or the problem type In the 1970s Dr. Freedman worked as a comic book letterer and helped organize the San Diego Comic-Con (now the world’s largest popular culture convention) during its first few years. Today, when not in the classroom or slaving over a computer, Dr. Freedman can be found either flying (he holds a commercial pilot’s license) or with his wife, Caroline, cheering on the rowers of UCSB Men’s and Women’s Crew. Expanded - Caution paragraphs focus on typical misconceptions and student problem areas. Over a dozen more have been added based on common errors made in Pearson Mastering Physics. Get access to all of the answers and step-by-step video explanations to this book and 5,000+ more. Try Numerade free.

Hugh D. Young is Emeritus Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. He attended Carnegie Mellon for both undergraduate and graduate study and earned his Ph.D. in fundamental particle theory under the direction of the late Richard Cutkosky. He joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon in 1956 and has also spent two years as a Visiting Professor at the University of California at Berkeley. This edition covers quantum physics and QED, which is rare to find in a textbook which some would call "Introductory", and is a highly satisfying end to a large, yet highly useful text. Hallmark features of this title A series of features aimed at building your students' conceptual understandinga) Before we start converting, it might be handy to map out how we will get from miles to kilometers. A good place to start would be miles to feet. We know that 5280 feet = 1 mile. Then from feet we could convert to inches. We know that 12 in = 1 ft. The given conversion factor (2.54 cm = 1 in) gets us from inches to centimeters. Now we just have to get from centimeters, to meters, to kilometers. You could go straight from centimeters to kilometers, but I find taking the extra step reduces errors. We know that 100 cm = m and 1000 m = 1 km. If we string all these together we get: The question had three significant figures, so let's make sure our answer does as well. The correct answer is 3280 feet. Perhaps one the best calculus-based textbook in Physics. Each section explains every topic in great detail. Examples are exhaustive. Perfect for undergraduate students but I don't recommend bringing it around the campus because its really really bulky. Remember to cross out every unit that appears in the top and bottom of the formula, leaving you with units of feet.

month access Mastering Physics with Pearson eText (24 Months) for University Physics with Modern Physics A textbook for courses in calculus-based physics, helps students develop into expert problem-solvers. The new 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics, now in SI Units, draws on insights from several users to help students see patterns and make connections between problem types, rather than simply plugging values into an equation. Features Expanded - Cumulative problems promote more advanced problem-solving techniques, challenging the students to combine knowledge and skills covered in previous chapters with the current one.H ugh D. Young was Emeritus Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. He earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from that university. He earned his Ph.D. in fundamental particle theory under the direction of the late Richard Cutkosky. He joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon in 1956 and retired in 2004. He also had two visiting professorships at the University of California, Berkeley.

In Memoriam: Hugh Young (1930— 2013) Of all my years in academia, this one remains unparalleled. The examples taken are highly intuitive and very much relatable.

At UCSB, Dr. Freedman has taught in both the Department of Physics and the College of Creative Studies, a branch of the university intended for highly gifted and motivated undergraduates. He has published research in nuclear physics, elementary particle physics, and laser physics. In recent years, he has worked to make physics lectures a more interactive experience through the use of classroom response systems and pre-lecture videos.

b) Same as up top, we'll start this problem by mapping out our conversion. An easy place to start is kilometers to meters. We know that 1000 m = 1 km. Then meters to centimeters at 100 cm = 1 m. Then we can use the given conversion factor 2.54 cm = 1 in. Now we have to convert from inches to feet and we're done. Strung together we get:week access Mastering Physics with Pearson eText (18 Weeks) for University Physics with Modern Physics Professor Young is an enthusiastic skier, climber, and hiker. He also served for several years as Associate Organist at St. Paul's Cathedral in Pittsburgh, and has played numerous organ recitals in the Pittsburgh area. Prof. Young and his wife Alice usually travel extensively in the summer, especially in Europe and in the desert canyon country of southern Utah. Professor Young's career has centered entirely on undergraduate education. He has written several undergraduate-level textbooks, and in 1973 he became a co-author with Francis Sears and Mark Zemansky for their well-known introductory texts. With their deaths, he assumed full responsibility for new editions of these books until joined by Prof. Freedman for University Physics. University Physics with Modern Physics, 15th edition, now in SI Units, is known for its clear and accessible approach to physics. With its step-by-step guidance and variety of problem types, the textbook will help you solve the most complex problems in physics.
