Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics, 5/e Volume 1 (Paperback)

Description
Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy and a clear direct narrative with applications to draw you into the physics at hand. You'll gain an understanding of the basic concepts of physics from mechanics to modern physics. Each topic begins with concrete observations and experiences that you can relate to your everyday life and to future professions, and then you'll move to generalizations and aspects of physics that show why we believe what we believe.

The 5th Edition presents new applications and includes the physics of digital and added problem-solving techniques.

New Stuff!

• MisConceptual Questions, 10 or 15 at the end of each Chapter. The multiplechoice answers include common misconceptions as well as correct responses. Pedagogically, asking students to think, to consider the options, is more effective than just telling them what is valid and what is wrong. (These are in addition to the one at the start of each Chapter).
• Digital is all around us. Yet that word is not always used carefully. In this new edition we have 20 new pages describing the basics from the ground up. Binary numbers, bits and bytes, are introduced in Chapter 23 along with analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and vice versa, including digital audio and how video screens work. Also information compression, sampling rate, bit depth, pixel addressing, digital transmission and, in later chapters, information storage (RAM, DRAM, flash),digital cameras and their sensors (CCD, CMOS).
• Gravitational Assist (Slingshot) to accelerate spacecraft (Chapter 8).
• Magnetic field of a single moving charge, rarely treated (and if it is, maybe not well), and it shows the need for relativity theory.
• Seeing yourself in a magnifying mirror (concave), angular magnification and blurriness with a paradox. Also convex (rearview) mirrors (Chapter 32).
• Pedagogical clarification on defining potential energy, and energy itself (Chapter 8), and on hundreds of other topics.
• The Moon rises an hour later each day (Chapter 6), its phases, periods, and diagram.
• Efficiency of lightbulbs (Chapter 34).
• Idealization vs. reality emphasized-such as PV diagrams (Chapter 19) as an idealized approximation.
• Many new Problems (~ 500) plus new Questions as well as the 500 or so MisConceptual Questions (point 1 above).
• Many new worked-out Examples.
• More math steps included in derivations and Examples.
• New phrases to remind students of our objective in the middle of a long discussion or derivation (it is so easy to lose track).
• State of a system and state variables clarified (Chapter 17).
• Contemporary physics: Gravitational waves, LIGO and Virgo, Higgs, WIMPS, OLEDS and other semiconductor physics, nuclear fusion updates, neutrino-less double beta decay.
• New SI units (Chapters 1,21, Tables).
• Boiling temperature of water vs. elevation (Chapter 18).
• Modern physics in earlier classical Chapters (sometimes in Problems): Light-years, observable universe (Chapter 1); optical tweezers (Chapter 4); uranium enrichment (Chapter 5); black holes and curved space, white dwarfs (Chapter 6); crystal structure (Chapter 7); Yukawa potential, Lennard-Jones potential (Chapter 8); neutrons, nuclear reactors, moderator, nuclear collisions, radioactive decay, neutron star collapse (Chapter 9); galaxy redshift (Chapter 16); gas diffusion of uranium (Chapter 18); quarks (Chapter 21); liquid-drop model of nucleus, Geiger counter, Van de Graaff (Chapter 23); transistors (Chapters 23, 29); isotopes, cyclotron (Chapter 27); MOSFET (Chapter 29); semiconductor (camera sensor), photon (Chapter 33); line spectra, X-ray crystallography (Chapter 35).
• Second law of thermodynamics and heat energy reorganized (Chapter 20).
• Symmetry emphasized throughout.
• Uranium enrichment, % needed in reactors, bombs (Chapters 5, 42).
• Mass excess, mass defect (Chapter 41).
• The mole, more careful definition (Chapter 17).
• Liquid-gas ambiguity above critical temperature (Chapter 18).
• Measurement affects quantity measured, new emphasis.
• New clarifications and reminders in longer discussions and derivations. Because students can lose track of what our aim is, it is mentioned again part way through (often replacing "it" or "this").

  • Ocean Tides (Chapter 6)
  • Anticyclonic weather (Chapter 11)
  • Jump starting a car safely (Chapter 26)
