What's New
General Changes
The content of the second edition of University Physics has been completely updated to reflect new research in physics and physics education. The changes range from the inclusion of newly discovered elements in the periodic table to the addition of new in-text Concept Checks and end-of-chapter exercises. New Multi-Version Exercises have been added to the end of every chapter. These consist of groups of related exercises that use a common problem setup but ask you to solve for a different quantity. The Multi-Version Exercises will help you to build conceptual understanding, learn how different physical quantities are related to one another, and recognize related problems when you see them again.
