Description For any introductory physics course with an applied approach, such as in career programs in community and technical colleges, vocational-technical programs in secondary schools, and for general education physics courses at colleges and universities where an applied approach is desirable. Applied Physics, Ninth Edition (formerly Physics for Career Education) provides comprehensive and practical coverage of physics for students needing an applied physics approach or considering a vocational-technical career. It emphasizes physical concepts as applied to industrial-technical fields and uses common applications to improve the physics and mathematics competence of students. The text is divided into five major areas: mechanics, matter and heat, wave motion and sound, electricity and magnetism, and light and modern physics.

The text is divided into five major areas: mechanics, matter and heat, wave motion and sound, electricity and magnetism, and light and modern physics. New to this Edition: This edition is thoroughly updated to include: More than 120 mostly metric problems and some problems of interest to automotive/diesel and construction students.

APPLIED PHYSICS, 10/e is a highly successful textbook presenting clear, to-the-point topical coverage of basic physics applied to industrial and technical fields.

More than 60 new photos. An entire chapter devoted entirely to problem-solving. Chapter 3, 'Vectors,' has been reorganized and revised. 14 'Try This Activity' features have been added.

8 'Physics Connections' have been added. A new section covering 'Collisions in Two-Dimensions.' Hallmark Features: Real-world applications to motivate students. Clear, concise topic coverage. Unique problem-solving format used throughout the text.

Detailed, well-illustrated examples in the problem-solving format support student understanding of skills and concepts Problems and questions assist student learning with extensive problem sets at the end of most sections to provide students with ample practice opportunity. Four-color format with numerous drawings, diagrams, and photographs illustrate the application of physics in the real world and improve student interest and comprehension. Try This Activity provides students with opportunities to experiment with physics concepts. Activities involve a demonstration or mini-activity that can be performed by students on their own so they can experience a particular physics concept, allowing for more active (instead of passive) learning. Physics Connections applies physics to familiar real-world situations and events.

These brief readings help students bridge the gap between what is taught in the chapter and 'real-world' technical applications. Applied Concepts provides application-based questions at the end of chapters develop problem-solving skills in real-life physics applications. Comprehensive discussion and consistent use of the results of working with measurements and significant digits. Biographical sketches of important scientists appear in most chapters. Appendix E features answers to odd-numbered problems within the chapters and all chapter review questions and problems. Other appendixes includes a comprehensive glossary, basic scientific calculator instructions, and basic math review.
