General Physics

This adaptation of Kane and Sternheim's Physics, 2nd Edition, is an introduction to physics for science majors with some background in calculus. It features outstanding illustrations, provides biological applications to physics problems, readily identifiable units, historical sketches, and many practical examples. Also covered are important topics such as motion in a straight line, motion in two dimensions, Newton's laws of motion, statics, circular motion, elastic properties of materials, thermal properties of matter, viscous fluid flow, cohesive forces in liquids, direct currents, nuclear physics, and more.
