That is how I have regarded physics since the day when Sharon, one of the students in a class I taught as a graduate student, suddenly demanded of me, “What has any of this got to do with my life?” Of course I immediately responded, “Sharon, this has everything to do with your life—this is physics.” She asked me for an example. I thought and thought but could not come up with a single one.That night I began writing the book The Flying Circus of Physics (John Wiley & Sons Inc., 1975) for Sharon but also for me because I realized her complaint was mine. I had spent six years slugging my way through many dozens of physics textbooks that were carefully written with the best of pedagogical plans, but there was something missing. Physics is the most interesting subject in the world because it is about how the world works, and yet the textbooks had been thor- oughly wrung of any connection with the real world. The fun was missing. I have packed a lot of real-world physics into Fundamentals of Physics, con- necting it with the new edition of The Flying Circus of Physics. Much of the mate- rial comes from the introductory physics classes I teach, where I can judge from the faces and blunt comments what material and presentations work and what do not. The notes I make on my successes and failures there help form the basis of this book. My message here is the same as I had with every student I’ve met since Sharon so long ago: “Yes, you can reason from basic physics concepts all the way to valid conclusions about the real world, and that understanding of the real world is where the fun is.” I have many goals in writing this book but the overriding one is to provide in- structors with tools by which they can teach students how to effectively read scientific material, iden- tify fundamental concepts, reason through scientific questions, and solve quantitative problems. This process is not easy for either students or instructors. Indeed, the course associated with this book may be one of the most challenging of all the courses taken by a student. However, it can also be one of the most rewarding because it reveals the world’s fundamental clockwork from which all scientific and engineering applications spring. Many users of the ninth edition (both instructors and students) sent in comments and suggestions to improve the book. These improvements are now incorporated into the narrative and problems throughout the book. The publisher John Wiley & Sons and I regard the book as an ongoing project and encourage more input from users. You can send suggestions, corrections, and positive or negative comments to John Wiley & Sons or Jearl Walker (mail address: Physics Department, Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH 44115 USA; or the blog site at www.flyingcircusofphysics.com). We may not be able to respond to all suggestions, but we keep and study each of them. WHAT’S NEW? Modules and Learning Objectives “What was I supposed to learn from this section?” Students have asked me this question for decades, from the weakest student to the strongest. The problem is that even a thoughtful student may not feel confident that the important points were captured while read- ing a section. I felt the same way back when I was using the first edition of Halliday and Resnick while taking first-year physics. To ease the problem in this edition, I restructured the chapters into concept modules based on a primary theme and begin each module with a list of the module’s learning objectives. The list is an explicit statement of the skills and learning points that should be gathered in reading the module. Each list is following by a brief summary of the key ideas that should also be gathered. For example, check out the first module in Chapter 16, where a student faces a truck load of concepts and terms. Rather than depending on the student’s ability to gather and sort those ideas, I now provide an explicit checklist that functions somewhat like the checklist a pilot works through before taxiing out to the runway for takeoff. xvii xviii PR E FACE Links Between Homework Problems and Learning Objectives In WileyPLUS, every question and prob- lem at the end of the chapter is linked to a learning objective, to answer the (usually unspoken) ques- tions, “Why am I working this problem? What am I supposed to learn from it?” By being explicit about a problem’s purpose, I believe that a student might better transfer the learning objective to other problems with a different wording but the same key idea. Such transference would help defeat the common trouble that a student learns to work a particular problem but cannot then apply its key idea to a problem in a different setting. Rewritten Chapters My students have continued to be challenged by several key chapters and by spots in several other chapters and so, in this edition, I rewrote a lot of the material. For example, I redesigned the chapters on Gauss’ law and electric potential, which have proved to be tough-going for my students. The presentations are now smoother and more direct to the key points. In the quan- tum chapters, I expanded the coverage of the Schrödinger equation, including reflection of matter waves from a step potential. At the request of several instructors, I decoupled the discussion of the Bohr atom from the Schrödinger solution for the hydrogen atom so that the historical account of Bohr’s work can be bypassed. Also, there is now a module on Planck’s blackbody radiation. New Sample Problems and Homework Questions and Problems Sixteen new sample problems have been added to the chapters, written so as to spotlight some of the difficult areas for my students. Also, about 250 problems and 50 questions have been added to the homework sections of the chapters. Some of these problems come from earlier editions of the book, as requested by several instructors. Video Illustrations In the eVersion of the text available in WileyPLUS, David Maiullo of Rutgers University has created video versions of approximately 30 of the photo- graphs and figures from the text. Much of physics is the study of things that move and video can often provide a better representation than a static photo or figure. Online Aid WileyPLUS is not just an online grading pro- gram. Rather, it is a dynamic learning center stocked with many different learning aids, including just-in-time problem-solving tutorials, embedded reading quizzes to encourage reading, animated figures, hundreds of sample problems, loads of simulations and demonstrations, and over 1500 videos ranging from math reviews to mini-lectures to examples. More of these learning aids are added every semester. For this 10th edition of HRW, some of the photos involving motion have been converted into videos so that the motion can be slowed and analyzed. These thousands of learning aids are available 24/7 and can be repeated as many times as de- sired. Thus, if a student gets stuck on a homework problem at, say, 2:00 AM (which appears to be a popular time for doing physics homework), friendly and helpful resources are available at the click of a mouse. LEARNINGS TOOLS When I learned first-year physics in the first edition of Halliday and Resnick, I caught on by repeatedly reread- ing a chapter. These days we better understand that students have a wide range of learning styles. So, I have produced a wide range of learning tools, both in this new edition and online in WileyPLUS: A Animations of one of the key figures in each chapter. Here in the book, those figures are flagged with the swirling icon. In the online chapter in WileyPLUS, a mouse click begins the animation. I have chosen the fig- ures that are rich in information so that a student can see the physics in action and played out over a minute or two  PR E FACE xix instead of just being flat on a printed page. Not only does this give life to the physics, but the anima- tion can be repeated as many times as a student wants. Videos I have made well over 1500 instructional videos, with more coming each semester. Students can watch me draw or type on the screen as they hear me talk about a solution, tutorial, sample prob- lem, or review, very much as they would experience were they sitting next to me in my office while I worked out something on a notepad. An instructor’s lectures and tutoring will always be the most valuable learning tools, but my videos are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can be repeated indefinitely. Video tutorials on subjects in the chapters. I chose the subjects that chal- lenge the students the most, the ones that my students scratch their heads about. Video reviews of high school math, such as basic algebraic manipulations, trig functions, and simultaneous equations. Video introductions to math, such as vector multiplication, that will be new to the students. Video presentations of every Sample Problem in the textbook chapters. My intent is to work out the physics, starting with the Key Ideas instead of just grabbing a formula. However, I also want to demonstrate how to read a sam- ple problem, that is, how to read technical material to learn problem-solving procedures that can be transferred to other types of problems. Video solutions to 20% of the end-of chapter problems. The availability and timing of these solutions are controlled by the instructor. For example, they might be available after a homework deadline or a quiz. Each solution is not simply a plug-and-chug recipe. Rather I build a solution from the Key Ideas to the first step of reasoning and to a final solution. The student learns not just how to solve a particular problem but how to tackle any problem, even those that require physics courage. Video examples of how to read data from graphs (more than simply reading off a number with no comprehension of the physics). Problem-Solving Help I have written a large number of resources for WileyPLUS designed to help build the students’ problem-solving skills. Every sample problem in the textbook is available online in both reading and video formats. Hundreds of additional sample problems. These are available as stand- alone resources but (at the discretion of the instructor) they are also linked out of the homework problems. So, if a homework problem deals with, say, forces on a block on a ramp, a link to a related sample problem is provided. However, the sample problem is not just a replica of the homework problem and thus does not provide a solution that can be merely duplicated without comprehension. GO Tutorials for 15% of the end-of-chapter homework problems. In multi- ple steps, I lead a student through a homework problem, starting with the Key Ideas and giving hints when wrong answers are submitted. However, I pur- posely leave the last step (for the final answer) to the student so that they are responsible at the end. Some online tutorial systems trap a student when wrong answers are given, which can generate a lot of frustration. My GO Tutorials are not traps, because at any step along the way, a student can return to the main problem. Hints on every end-of-chapter homework problem are available (at the discretion of the instructor). I wrote these as true hints about the main ideas and the general procedure for a solution, not as recipes that provide an answer without any comprehension. xx PR E FACE Evaluation Materials Reading questions are available within each online section. I wrote these so that they do not require analysis or any deep understanding; rather they simply test whether a student has read the section. When a student opens up a section, a randomly chosen reading question (from a bank of questions) appears at the end. The instructor can decide whether the question is part of the grading for that section or whether it is just for the benefit of the student. Checkpoints are available within most sections. I wrote these so that they require analysis and deci- sions about the physics in the section. Answers to all checkpoints are in the back of the book. Checkpoint 1 Here are three pairs of initial and final positions, respectively, along an x axis. Which pairs give a negative displacement: (a) $3 m, #5 m; (b) $3 m, $7 m; (c) 7 m, $3 m? All end-of-chapter homework Problems in the book (and many more problems) are available in WileyPLUS. The instructor can construct a homework assignment and control how it is graded when the answers are submitted online. For example, the instructor controls the deadline for submission and how many attempts a student is allowed on an answer. The instructor also controls which, if any, learning aids are available with each homework problem. Such links can include hints, sample prob- lems, in-chapter reading materials, video tutorials, video math reviews, and even video solutions (which can be made available to the students after, say, a homework deadline). Symbolic notation problems that require algebraic answers are available in every chapter. All end-of-chapter homework Questions in the book are available for assignment in WileyPLUS. These Questions (in a multiple choice format) are designed to evaluate the students’ conceptual un- derstanding. Icons for Additional Help When worked-out solutions are provided either in print or electronically for certain of the odd-numbered problems, the statements for those problems include an icon to alert both student and instructor as to where the solutions are located. There are also icons indicating which problems have GO Tutorial, an Interactive LearningWare, or a link to the The Flying Circus of Physics. An icon guide is provided here and at the beginning of each set of problems.

Key Ideas Physics is based on measurement of physical quantities. These standards are used in all physical measurement, for Certain physical quantities have been chosen as base quanti- both the base quantities and the quantities derived from ties (such as length, time, and mass); each has been defined in them. Scientific notation and the prefixes of Table 1-2 are terms of a standard and given a unit of measure (such as meter, used to simplify measurement notation. second, and kilogram). Other physical quantities are defined in Conversion of units may be performed by using chain-link terms of the base quantities and their standards and units. conversions in which the original data are multiplied succes- The unit system emphasized in this book is the International sively by conversion factors written as unity and the units are System of Units (SI). The three physical quantities displayed manipulated like algebraic quantities until only the desired in Table 1-1 are used in the early chapters. Standards, which units remain. must be both accessible and invariable, have been estab- The meter is defined as the distance traveled by light lished for these base quantities by international agreement. during a precisely specified time interval. What Is Physics? Science and engineering are based on measurements and comparisons. Thus, we need rules about how things are measured and compared, and we need experiments to establish the units for those measurements and comparisons. One purpose of physics (and engineering) is to design and conduct those experiments. For example, physicists strive to develop clocks of extreme accuracy so that any time or time interval can be precisely determined and compared. You may wonder whether such accuracy is actually needed or worth the effort. Here is one example of the worth: Without clocks of extreme accuracy, the Global Positioning System (GPS) that is now vital to worldwide navigation would be useless. Measuring Things We discover physics by learning how to measure the quantities involved in physics. Among these quantities are length, time, mass, temperature, pressure, and electric current. We measure each physical quantity in its own units, by comparison with a standard. The unit is a unique name we assign to measures of that quantity—for example, meter (m) for the quantity length. The standard corresponds to exactly 1.0 unit of the quantity. As you will see, the standard for length, which corresponds 1 2 CHAPTE R 1
