Simplified Classical Mechanics, Second Edition, Volume II: Gravity and Conservation Laws, picks up where Volume I ended. First, Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation is examined and the concept of the "gravitational field" is introduced. Next, conserved quantities (i.e., quantities that do not change over time) are introduced and added to a repertoire of problem-solving strategies. Next, rotational motion is examined―instead of limiting one's analysis to the motion of objects moving in a straight line, objects which rotate, spin, and tumble can now be analyzed. Finally, the volume concludes with a look forward to electricity and magnetism.

Key Features:

Presents complex physics with simplified mathematics (Conceptual and algebra-based with little of the calculus-based elements. Emphasis on both concepts (conceptual) and problem-solving (algebra-based) but do not calculus-based number-crunching.)
Like conceptual physics books, each chapter contains an anticipatory set which carries the reader through the chapter. Each of the chapter's topics ties back to this anticipatory set. This includes simple everyday situations and lead the reader to conclude that he/she could have solved these problems with very logical and common-sense techniques.
Each chapter develops a problem-solving strategy and focuses on examples that demonstrate this strategy.
The scope and sequence of the book adheres to current educational best practices with each chapter containing a "Getting Ready" section (with "Anticipatory Set," "Objective" and "Purpose" sub-sections), a "Giving Information" section (with "Instructional Input," "Modeling" and "Checking for Understanding" sub-sections), and a "Keeping Information" section (with "Closure," "Independent Practice" and "Peer Teaching" sub-sections).
Improved images and drawings to illustrate problems.
