Twelve Problems in Physics introduces students to important concepts and techniques in introductory physics. The book focuses on exploring major concepts in depth through exciting, detailed examples. The material is organized into twelve carefully selected chapters. Astute chapter titles immediately engage students and relate the physics concepts to something familiar and accessible. The book begins with the "Flight of the Rocket," and important kinematic and dynamical concepts such as vertical and angled flight, and drag. It progresses to "Nonstop Service to Anywhere," with information on flight range, work and energy, and more. "Shoot the Moon" deals with the laws of Newtonian and Einsteinian gravitation, planetary motion, and orbital dynamics, while "Catch a Wave (A Knotty Problem)" addresses wave dynamics and kinematics, sound waves, and scattering at a knot. Readers will also learn about collisions, rotation, the harmonic oscillator, electrons, neurons, the solenoid, electromagnetic waves, and optics. Clear and incisive, Twelve Problems in Physics provides thorough coverage of critical information. The book is written for introductory calculus-based physics courses for science and engineering students.

Twelve problems have been added to the first edition; four of them are supplements to problems in the first edition. The others deal with issues that have become important, since the first edition of Volume II, in recent developments of various areas of physics. All the problems have their foundations in volume 1 of the 2-Volume set Analysis, Manifolds and Physics. It would have been prohibitively expensive to insert the new problems at their respective places. They are grouped together at the end of this volume, their logical place is indicated by a number of parenthesis following the title.

Physics, 12th Edition focuses on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and providing real-world applications and relevance. Conceptual examples, Concepts and Calculations problems, and Check Your Understanding questions help students understand physics principles. Math Skills boxes, multi-concept problems, and Examples with reasoning steps help students improve their reasoning skills while solving problems. “The Physics Of” boxes, and new “Physics in Biology, Sports, and Medicine” problems show students how physics principles are relevant to their everyday lives. A wide array of tools help students navigate through this course, and keep them engaged by encouraging active learning. Animated pre-lecture videos (created and narrated by the authors) explain the basic concepts and learning objectives of each section. Problem-solving strategies are discussed, and common misconceptions and potential pitfalls are addressed. Chalkboard videos demonstrate step-by-step practical solutions to typical homework problems. Finally, tutorials that implement a step-by-step approach are also offered, allowing students to develop their problem-solving skills.
