Chapter Puzzlers open each chapter with an intriguing application or question that is explained or answered in the chapter.Potential energy and conservation of energy. This new edition features several thousand end of chapter problems that were rewritten to streamline both the presentations and answers. Problem-solving tactics are provided to help the reader solve problems and avoid common errors. This book offers a unique combination of authoritative content and stimulating applications. No other book on the market today can match the 30-year success of Halliday, Resnick and Walker's "Fundamentals of Physics!" In a breezy, easy-to-understand style the book offers a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, and helps readers apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving.

Get a better grade in physics! "Introductory Physics With Calculus As a Second Language" by Thomas E. WileyPLUS also includes electronic versions of all the end-of-chapter problems in "Fundamentals of Physics" and the interactive tutorials (several hundred) and hints (several thousand)written by author Jearl Walker. Electronic links to the new 2nd Edition of "The Flying Circus of Physics" are available in the electronic version of 8th edition of "Fundamentals of Physics" that is part of WileyPLUS, one of the online homework systems available with this book. The original edition of "The Flying Circus of Physics" in print for over 30 years in 10 languages is a cult classic among physics students, physics instructors, and the general public. Take your seat the show's about to begin! This 8th edition of "Fundamentals of Physics" includes hundreds of items about curious effects in the everyday world, written in the spirit of Jearl Walker's The Flying Circus of Physics. Other sparks are quite dangerous, such as those in electrostatic discharges that can accidentally cause airborne dust to explode (Chapter 25). Some sparks are amusing, such as those generated when someone chomps down on a wintergreen LifeSaver - the brief blue glow that illuminates the mouth can be seen in a dark room (Chapter 21). Electron flow is the subject of several chapters in this book and is especially important in the discussion of electric sparks. The paths of the 100,000 electrons begin at the upper right but branch and fold back on one another in a surprising pattern as they spread toward the lower left.
