College Physics

KEY BENEFIT: For more than five decades, Sears and Zemansky's College Physics has provided the most reliable foundation of physics education for readers around the world. For the Eighth Edition, Robert Geller joins Hugh Young to produce a comprehensive update of this benchmark text. A broad and thorough introduction to physics, this new edition carefully integrates many solutions from educational research to help readers to develop greater confidence in solving problems, deeper conceptual understanding, and stronger quantitative-reasoning skills, while helping them connect what they learn with their other courses and the changing world around them. KEY TOPICS: Models, Measurements, and Vectors, Motion along a Straight Line, Motion in a Plane, Newton’s Laws of Motion, Applications of Newton’s Laws, Circular Motion and Gravitation, Work and Energy, Momentum, Rotational Motion, Dynamics of Rotational Motion, Elasticity and Periodic Motion, Mechanical Wa
