ALL OF THESE ERRORS HAVE BEEN FIXED AS OF THE SECOND PRINTING
Illustration 3.1
original loading script fixed: flip of x and y in the table
Exploration 6.2
script fixed so that units in the table for velocity should be (m/s)
Exploration 6.3
book text needs changing script fix so labels in “work” graph so
graph is correct.
change last sentence of first paragraph to:
Also shown are the graphs of force cos(θy) vs. positiony
and kinetic energy vs. positiony where θy is the angle
between the gravitational force and the ball's infinitesimal y displacement.
Problem 14.10
script fixed so blocks should only move when fluid level drops below their
tops
Exploration 17.3 (book text needs changing)
add to end of last sentence of the second paragraph: “in the y direction only.”
also minor script change to better time the reflection.
Illustration 24.1, Illustration 24.2, Illustration 24.3
script fixed so that mouse down drag shows coordinates
Problem 24.3, Problem 24.4, Problem 25.4
script fixed so that mouse down drag shows coordinates
Illustration 26.3 (book text needs changing)
add to end of first paragraph
A dragable dielectric is outside the plates (drag at the center of the
dielectric) and the dielectric has a thickness that is smaller than the
separation between the capacitor plates.
add to end
Note: if the dielectric had a thickness equal to that of the separation between
the capacitor plates, the electric field would not have changed. This is due to
the fact that while the charge on the plates has changed, the separation between
the plates and the electric potential difference between the plates is the same
whether there is a dielectric there or not.
Illustration 26.4 (book text needs changing)
Finally, consider two different capacitors connected in series. As in the
series case with the battery, both capacitors contain the same charge. Which one
has the greater potential difference across it? Since ΔV = Q/C, the capacitor on
the left (with the larger capacitance) has the smaller electric potential
difference across it.
Illustration 27.1, Illustration 27.2
fixed to match book text, old sentence in either first or second paragraph
removed and replaced with the sentence: “A compass utilizes a small permanent
magnet; its arrow points toward the north pole of its magnet.”
Exploration 31.2 (book text needs changing)
change 2nd sentence to read
For a resistor, we call the ratio between peak voltage and current, the
resistance, R. For capacitors and inductors, we use the term the reactance, X,
for the ratio between peak voltage and current so that V = I X.
change 4th sentence to read
This Exploration shows…
Problem 37.8
text changes to match book narrative
