Solutions to independent practice problems.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.Simplified Classical Mechanics, Volume 2 (Second Edition): Gravity and conservation laws, picks up where Volume 1 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.Undergraduate physics and engineering students.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Gregory A. DiLisi earned his Bachelor of Science degree, with distinction, from Cornell University in Applied and Engineering Physics. He then earned his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Case Western Reserve University in Condensed Matter Experimental Physics. He is currently a Professor at John Carroll University in University Heights, Ohio, where he has held appointments in two departments--physics and education. As an experimental physicist, he specializes in liquid crystals and complex fluids with publications appearing in peer-reviewed journals such as: Journal de Physique II, Liquid Crystals, Microgravity Science and Technology, and Physical Review A. His research focuses on the viscoelastic properties and surface interactions of oligomeric liquid crystals as well as the stability of liquid bridges as they shift from micro- to hyper-gravity environments. In the area of science education, his research focuses on two areas: first, developing problem-solving strategies and team-building skills in undergraduate engineering and science students, and second, using case studies as a pedagogical approach to teaching introductory physics courses. In these areas, he has publications appearing in peer-reviewed journals such as: The Journal of College Science Teaching, The Journal of STEM Education: Innovation and Research, and The Physics Teacher. He was chosen to be the Ohio Educator Fellow for both of NASA's Stardust and Cassini space probes and serves as a consultant to numerous educational outreach initiatives. He has authored over thirty peer-reviewed journal articles, seven books, and is an international speaker, having presented at numerous scientific and educational conferences.Title from PDF title page (viewed on October 1, 2025).
