Applied Physics provides practical physics coverage for learners needing an applied physics approach or considering a vocational-technical career. Real-world applications will help you learn physics in context. And, by using a proven and consistent problem-solving method throughout, you'll get the repeated practice needed to more fully understand and retain skills and concepts.

The 12th Edition expands upon features that add relevance, such as physics-related careers and cutting-edge research and products. New learning objectives have been added for chapter subsections to help you better grasp the purpose of each section. Seven new Physics Connections concepts relate the text's content to familiar real-world situations and events.
