Case Study: Laying the foundation for the successful study of physics
Chapter 1 Introduction to Physics
1-1 Scientists use special practices to understand and describe the natural
world
1-2 Success in physics requires well-developed problem-solving skills
utilizing mathematical, graphical and reasoning skills
1-3 Scientists use simplifying models to make it possible to solve
problems; "object" will be an important model in your studies
1-4 Measurements in physics are based on standard units of time, length,
and mass
1-5 Correct use of significant digits helps keep track of uncertainties in
numerical values and uncertainty impacts conclusions from experimental
results
1-6 Dimensional analysis is a powerful way to check the results of a
physics calculation
Case Study: Kinematics
Chapter 2 Linear Motion
2-1 Studying motion in a straight line is the first step in understanding
physics
2-2 Constant velocity means moving at a constant speed without changing
direction
2-3 Velocity is the rate of change of position, and acceleration is the
rate of change of velocity
2-4 Constant acceleration means velocity changes at a steady (constant)
rate
2-5 Solving straight-line motion problems: Constant acceleration
2-6 Objects falling freely near Earth's surface have constant acceleration
Chapter 3 Motion in Two or Three Dimensions
3-1 The ideas of linear motion help us understand motion in two or three
dimensions
3-2 A vector quantity has both a magnitude and a direction
3-3 Vectors can be described in terms of components
3-4 Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities
3-5 A projectile moves in a plane and has a constant acceleration
3-6 You can solve projectile motion problems using techniques learned for
straight-line motion
Case Study: Dynamics
Chapter 4 Forces and Motion I: Newton's Laws
4-1 How objects move is determined by their interactions with other
objects, which can be described by forces
4-2 If a net external force is exerted on an object, the object accelerates
4-3 Mass and weight are distinct but related concepts
4-4 A free-body diagram is essential in solving any problem involving
forces, making one relies upon center of mass
4-5 Newton's third law relates the forces that two objects exert on each
other
4-6 All problems involving forces can be solved using the same series of
steps
Chapter 5 Forces and Motion II: Applications
5-1 We can use Newton's laws in situations beyond those we have already
studied
5-2 The static friction force changes magnitude to offset other applied
forces
5-3 The kinetic friction force on a sliding object has a constant magnitude
5-4 Problems involving static and kinetic friction are like any other
problem with forces
5-5 An object moving through air or water experiences a drag force
Case Study: Circular Motion and Gravitation
Chapter 6 Circular Motion and Gravitation
6-1 Gravitation is a force of universal importance; add circular motion and
you are on your way to explaining the motion of the planets and stars
6-2 An object moving in a circle is accelerating even if its speed is
constant
6-3 For an object in uniform circular motion, the net force exerted on the
object points toward the center of the circle
6-4 Newton's law of universal gravitation explains the orbit of the Moon,
and gives us an opportunity to introduce to the concept of field
6-5 Newton's law of universal gravitation begins to explain the orbits of
planets and satellites
6-6 Apparent weight and what it means to be "weightless"
Case Study: Energy
Chapter 7 Energy and Conservation I: Foundations
7-1 The ideas of work and energy are intimately related, this relationship
is based on a conservation principle
7-2 The work done on a moving object by a constant force depends on the
magnitude and direction of the force
7-3 Newton's second law applied to an object lets us determine a formula
for kinetic energy and state the work-energy theorem for an object
7-4 The work-energy theorem can simplify many physics problems
7-5 The work-energy theorem is also valid for curved paths and varying
forces, and, with a little more information, systems as well as objects
7-6 Potential energy is energy related to reversible changes in a system's
configuration
Chapter 8 Energy and Conservation II: Applications and Extensions
8-1 Total energy is always conserved, but it is only constant for a closed,
isolated system
8-2 Choosing systems and considering multiple interactions, including
nonconservative ones, is required in solving physics problems
8-3 Energy conservation is an important tool for solving a wide variety of
problems
8-4 Power is the rate at which energy is transferred into or out of a
system or converted within a system
8-5 Gravitational potential energy is much more general, and profound, than
our approximation for near the surface of Earth
Case Study: Momentum
Chapter 9 Momentum, Collisions, and the Center of Mass
9-1 Newton's third law helps lead us to the idea of momentum
9-2 Momentum is a vector that depends on an object's mass and velocity
9-3 The total momentum of a system of objects is always conserved; it is
constant for systems that are well approximated as closed and isolated
9-4 In an inelastic collision some of the mechanical energy is dissipated
9-5 In an elastic collision both momentum and mechanical energy are
constant
9-6 What happens in a collision is related to the time the colliding
objects are in contact
9-7 The center of mass of a system moves as though all of the system's mass
were concentrated there
Case Study: Torque and Rotational Motion
Chapter 10 Rotational motion I
10-1 Rotation is an important and ubiquitous kind of motion
10-2 An extended object's rotational kinetic energy is related to its
angular velocity and how its mass is distributed
10-3 An extended object's rotational inertia depends on its mass
distribution and the choice of rotation axis
10-4 Conservation of mechanical energy also applies to rotating extended
objects
10-5 The equations for rotational kinematics are almost identical to those
for linear motion
10-6 Torque is to rotation as force is to translation
10-7 The techniques used for solving problems with Newton's second law also
apply to rotation problems
Chapter 11 Rotational motion II
11-1 Angular momentum and our next conservation law, conservation of
angular momentum
11-2 Angular momentum is always conserved; it is constant when there is
zero net torque exerted on a system
11-3 Rotational quantities such as torque are actually vectors
11-4 Newton's law of universal gravitation along with gravitational
potential energy and angular momentum explains Kepler's laws for the orbits
of planets and satellites

Chapter 12 Oscillations and Simple Harmonic Motion
12-1 We live in a world of oscillations

transporting matter
13-2 Mechanical waves can be transverse, longitudinal, or a combination of
these; their speed depends on the properties of the medium
13-3 Sinusoidal waves are related to simple harmonic motion
13-4 Waves pass through each other without changing shape; while they
overlap, the net displacement is just the sum of that of the individual
waves
13-5 A standing wave is caused by interference between waves traveling in
opposite directions
13-6 Wind instruments, the human voice, and the human ear use standing
sound waves
13-7 Two sound waves of slightly different frequencies produce beats

15-3 The resistance to current flow through an object depends on the
object's resistivity and dimensions
15-4 Electric Energy (modified from 17-1 and 2, to just talk in terms of
forces, not fields).
15-5 Electric potential difference between two points equals the change in
electric potential energy per unit charge moved between those two points
15-6 Conservation of energy and conservation of charge make it possible to
analyze electric circuits
15-7 The rate at which energy is produced or taken in by a circuit element
depends on current and electric potential difference
