No other text on the market today can match the success of Halliday, Resnick and Walker's Fundamentals of Physics. This text continues to outperform the competition year after year, and the new edition will be no exception. Intended for Calculus-based Physics courses, the 6th edition of this extraordinary text is a major redesign of the best-selling 5th edition, which still maintains many of the elements that led to its enormous success. Jearl Walker adds his unique style to this edition with the addition of new problems designed to capture, and keep, students' attention. Nearly all changes are based on suggestions from instructors and students using the 5th edition, from reviewer comments, and from research done on the process of learning. The primary goal of this text is to provide students with a solid understanding of fundamental physics concepts, and to help them apply this conceptual understanding to quantitative problem solving. The principal goal of Halliday-Resnick-Walker is to provide instructors with a tool by which they can teach students how to effectively read scientific material and successfully reason through scientific questions. To sharpen this tool, the Enhanced Problems Version of the sixth edition of Fundamentals of Physics contains over 1000 new, high-quality problems that require thought and reasoning rather than simplistic plugging of data into formulas.

... The existence of two clocks A and B such that each of them runs slowly than the other is the root of a bitter controversy (H. Dingle case, revisited here in Chapter 52), in my opinion not sufficiently attended by the scientific community [102] [212, p. [153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167][168]. Consider now two sets of identical clocks, the set of A-clocks placed in the reference frame RF o and the set of B-clocks placed in RF v ( Figure 8.1). ...

... Before the measurements were taken, an internal calibration of the thermal camera was carried out in the laboratory using a blackbody. The total energy a blackbody radiates and the wavelength of maximum emittance depend on the temperature of the blackbody and can be described by StefanBoltzmann's and Wien's laws, respectively (Walker 2008;Tipler 2000). ...

... From mechanics, we know that a wave cannot be transmitted along a string except when the string is under tension [9] and, based on the = √ ⁄ formula, the speed of wave propagation along any ideal stretched string depends only on the string's linear density (string mass per unit length) and the tension [9]. Accordingly, the Luminiferous Aether that transmits light should be a set of stretched strings with linear density , in which light propagates at a speed and according to the relation = √ ℎ ℎ ⁄ . ...

... The applied DC field and the frequency are kept constant throughout the AC magnetization phase. Hence, the applied AC magnetization field (H AC a ) can be expressed by the following equation, where f is the frequency of the AC magnetic field [46]. ...

... Radioactivity is believed to be a random ("stochastic") process, impossible to predict regardless of how long the atom existed. Three models are adjudged successful to partially or fully account for the effect: the collective model; independent particle model; and the combined model, acclaimed most successful of the three, Halliday et al. (2002). Beyond numerical nuclidic proton-neutron balance, particularly the concept of magic numbers, conventional notion sees no further details on the specific causality of nuclear instability. ...

... Faraday had a remarkable capacity to visualize electric and magnetic fields. This talent for visualization, which "is attested to by the fact that his collected laboratory notebooks do not contain a single equation" ( Halliday, Resnick & Walker, 2004, p. 562), presumably played an important role in his scientific success. The periodic table was discovered by making an analogy with the periodic nature of a piano keyboard, involving both auditory and visual modalities. ...
