About science -- MECHANICS -- Newton's first law of motion-inertia -- Linear motion -- Newton's second law of motion -- Newton's third law of motion -- Momentum -- Energy -- Rotational motion -- Gravity -- Projectile and satellite motion -- PROPERTIES OF MATTER -- The atomic nature of matter -- Solids -- Liquids -- Gases -- HEAT -- Temperature, heat, and expansion -- Heat transfer -- Change of phase -- Thermodynamics -- SOUND -- Vibrations and waves -- Sound -- Musical sounds -- ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM -- Electrostatics -- Electric current -- Magnetism -- Electromagnetic induction -- LIGHT -- Properties of light -- Color -- Reflection and refraction -- Light waves -- Light emission -- Light quanta -- ATOMIC AND NUCLEAR PHYSICS -- The atom and the quantum -- The atomic nucleus and radioactivity -- Nuclear fission and fusion -- RELATIVITY -- Special theory of relativity -- General theory of relativity -- Appendices
Summary: Since defining this course 30 years ago, Paul Hewitt’s best-selling text continues as the benchmark by which all others are judged. In Conceptual Physics Twelfth Edition Paul Hewitt makes physics interesting, understandable, and relevant for non-science majors. The Twelfth Edition will delight students with informative and fun Hewitt-Drew-It screencasts, updated content and applications. Hewitt’s text is guided by the principle of "concepts before calculations" and is famous for engaging students with analogies and imagery from the real-world that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics.

Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MasteringPhysics does not come packaged with this content. If you would like to purchase both the physical text and MasteringPhysics search for 0321908600 / 9780321908605. That package includes ISBN-10: 0321909100 / 9780321909107 and ISBN-10:032190978X / 9780321909787.

MasteringPhysicsis not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor.


Conceptual Physics with MasteringPhysics ® , Twelfth Edition Paul Hewitt integrates a compelling text and the most advanced media to make physics interesting, understandable, and relevant for non-science majors. The Twelfth Edition will delight you with informative and fun Hewitt-Drew-It screencasts, updated content, applications, and new learning activities in MasteringPhysics.

Hewitt's text is guided by the principle of "concepts before calculations" is famous for engaging students with analogies and imagery from the real-world that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics.

This program presents a better teaching and learning experience-for you.

Personalize learning with MasteringPhysics: MasteringPhysics provides you with engaging experiences that coach you through physics with specific wrong-answer feedback, hints, and a huge variety of educationally effective content. Prepare for lecture: NEW! 100 Hewitt-Drew-It screencasts, authored and narrated by Paul Hewitt, explain physics concepts through animation and narration. The exciting new Screencasts, accessed through QR codes in the textbook, will enable you to engage with the physics concepts more actively outside of class. Make physics delightful: Relevant and accessible narrative, analogies from real-world situations, and simple representations of the underlying mathematical relationships make physics more appealing. Build a strong conceptual understanding of physics: You will gain a solid understanding of physics through practice and problem solving in the book and in MasteringPhysics.
