Contents:

1. An invitation to physics. Introduction and vectors -- Motion in one dimension -- Motion in two dimensions -- The laws of motion -- More applications of Newton's laws -- Energy and energy transfer -- Potential energy -- Momentum and collisions -- Relativity -- Rotational motion -- Gravity, planetary orbits, and the hydrogen atom -- Oscillatory motion -- Mechanical waves -- Superposition and standing waves -- Fluid mechanics. Vol. 2. Temperature and the kinetic theory of gases -- Energy in thermal processes : the first law of thermodynamics -- Heat engines, entropy, and the second law of thermodynamics -- Electric forces and electric fields -- Electric potential and capacitance -- Current and direct current circuits -- Magnetic forces and magnetic fields -- Faraday's law and inductance -- Electromagnetic waves -- Reflection and refraction of light -- Image formation by mirrors and lenses -- Wave optics -- Quantum physics -- Atomic physics -- Nuclear physics -- Particle physics.

Summary: This third edition contains many new pedagogical features-most notably, a contextual approach to enhance motivation, an increased emphasis on avoiding misconceptions through the inclusion of Pitfall Preventions, and a problem-solving strategy that uses a modeling approach.
