24 LAB GUIDE FOR SHIPMAN/WILSON/ HIGGINS AN INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL SCIENCE, 13E James T. Shipman, Ohio University; Jerry D. Wilson, Lander College; Charles A. Higgins, Jr., Middle Tennessee State University This Laboratory Guide contains 55 experiments in the five major divisions of physical science: physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and meteorology. Each experiment includes an introduction, learning objectives, a list of apparatus, procedures for taking data, and questions. In addition, many experiments call for calculations and the plotting of graphs, and this guide provides space and graph paper for those purposes. 2013, 400pp, Paperback, Introductory Physics COLLEGE PHYSICS, 2E Reasoning and Relationships, International Edition Nicholas Giordano, Purdue University COLLEGE PHYSICS: REASONING AND RELATIONSHIPS, 2E, International Edition motivates student understanding by emphasizing the relationship between major physics principles, and how to apply the reasoning of physics to real-world examples. Such examples come naturally from the life sciences, and this text ensures that students develop a strong understanding of how the concepts relate to each other and to the real world. COLLEGE PHYSICS: REASONING AND RELATIONSHIPS, 2E, International Edition motivates student learning with its use of these original applications drawn from the life sciences and familiar everyday scenarios, and prepares students for the rigors of the course with a consistent five-step problemsolving approach. Available with this Second Edition, the new Enhanced WebAssign program features ALL the quantitative end-of-chapter problems and a rich collection of Reasoning and Relationships tutorials, personally adapted for WebAssign by Nick Giordano. This provides exceptional continuity for your students whether they choose to study with the printed text or by completing online homework. NEW TO THIS EDITION NEW Enhanced WebAssign Reasoning and Relationships tutorials, adapted for WebAssign by Nick Giordano, coach students through the process of making reasonable estimates of key parameters when exact information is not supplied and include feedback specific to students common misconceptions. Such creative problem solving is a valuable skill for students in all endeavors. NEW worked examples and new Concept Checks added to nearly every chapter give students additional problem-solving examples. All end-of-chapter questions and problems were systematically reviewed and edited for clarity, and new Reasoning and Relationships problems (typically three per chapter) were added. FEATURES Addresses Student Misconceptions Chapter 2 offers a qualitative and conceptual discussion of Newton s laws of motion and what they tell us about the relationship between forces and motion. The goal is to arm students with an understanding of this relationship to address many of their pre- Newtonian misconceptions and prepare for the discussion of the application of those laws in Chapter 3 and beyond. Armed with an understanding of the proper relationship between kinematics and forces, students can then reason about a variety of problems 22

25 in mechanics. This approach also provides instructors with the flexibility to introduce a wider variety of problems much sooner in the course, and models for students the process of successful study in physics. Emphasis on Developing Strong Problem Solving Skills A consistent five-step approach to problem solving is featured in every example, helping students move beyond narrow applications of formulas to recognize the big picture in a given situation. Students are asked to recognize the physical principles involved, draw a sketch of the problem, identify the relationships between known and unknown quantities, solve for the unknown quantity, and ask what the answer means and whether it makes sense. Numerous innovative Reasoning and Relationships problems in both the problem sets and in-chapter examples encourage students to use estimations and careful assumptions to gain an intuitive understanding of real-world situations. By applying fundamental principles to solve problems creatively and effectively, students deepen their understanding of physics. Explicit problem-solving strategies are also given for major classes of quantitative problems, such as applying the conservation of mechanical energy. Relationships Between Physics and the Life Sciences A unique range of applications emphasizes the relationships between physics and other areas of science, particularly the life sciences. For example, molecular motors are discussed as an application of work and energy (Chapter 6), and photosynthesis is covered as a thermodynamic process (Chapter 16). Applications such as these are interwoven throughout the text to motivate student understanding. Comprehensive Online Learning Resources The text is fully supported by Enhanced WebAssign, the market-leading online homework system developed by physicists for physicists. This enhanced version includes all quantitative end-of-chapter problems; Reasoning and Relationships problems; authorwritten and -coded tutorials; Concept Checks; animations; PHET simulations; and a customizable, interactive ebook. All questions provide answerspecific feedback, and many provide guided hints to drive students to content mastery. Examples and concepts build on previous knowledge throughout the text, revisiting key ideas and topics to build a stronger understanding of the relationships between various physical principles and how they can be applied to the students experience. The theme of amplifying forces, for example, is revisited during later discussions of work and energy and is further applied to discuss the mechanics of the ear. Concept Checks occur throughout each chapter as a tool to aid student reflection on key principles and fundamental issues. Many Concept Checks have been cast in an objective format to facilitate use with audience response system technology. Marginal Insights draw attention to specific ideas in the text, adding greater depth to a topic or reinforcing important key messages. 1. Introduction. 2. Motion, Forces, and Newton s Laws. 3.

Serway, James Madison University (Emeritus); Chris Vuille, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories- -theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Tenth Edition, provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout 23

26 the text and connecting it to real-world examples. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Tenth Edition, combines a logical presentation of the physical concepts with a consistent problem-solving strategy that results in true understanding for the student. The new edition features learning objectives for every section of the text, new Warm-Up Exercises to review mathematical and physical concepts that are prerequisites for a given chapter s problems set, and a general preview of the new physics concepts covered, as well as new online tutorials to assist students in understanding how to apply certain key concepts presented in a given chapter. For students planning to take the MCAT exam, the text s exclusive test prep and review tools help them prepare. The new edition is also supported by innovative technologies to enhance your teaching experience and your students learning. NEW TO THIS EDITION New Learning Objectives Added for Every Section. In response to the growing trend across the discipline (and the request of many users), learning objectives were added for every section of this edition. These identify the major concepts in a section and also identify the specific skills/outcomes students should be able to demonstrate if they have a solid understanding of those concepts. New Warm-Up Exercises in Every Chapter. Warm-up exercises appear at the beginning of each chapter s problems set, and were inspired by Chris Vuille s classroom experiences. The warm-up exercises review mathematical and physical concepts that are prerequisites for a given chapter s problems set, and also provide students with a general preview of the new physics concepts covered in a given chapter. By doing the warm-up exercises first, students will have an easier time getting comfortable with the new concepts of a chapter before tackling harder problems. New Online Tutorials. These new online tutorials offer students another training tool to assist them in understanding how to apply certain key concepts presented in a given chapter. The tutorials first present a brief review of the necessary concepts from the text, together with advice on how to solve problems involving them. The student can then attempt to solve one such problem, guided by questions presented in the tutorial. The tutorial automatically scores student responses and presents correct solutions together with discussion. Students can then practice on several additional problems of a similar level, and in some cases go to higher level or related problems, depending on the concepts covered in the tutorial. FEATURES Worked Examples. For this tenth edition, all the worked examples were reviewed and many improvements were made. The questions usually require a conceptual response or determination, but they also include estimates requiring knowledge of the relationships between concepts. The answers for the Example Questions can be found at the back of the book. Modern Artwork. Every piece of artwork in the tenth edition is in a modern style that helps express the physics principles at work in a clearer and more precise fashion. Every piece of art is also drawn to make certain that the physical situations presented corresponded exactly to the text discussion at hand. Conceptual Questions. At the end of each chapter, there are approximately a dozen conceptual questions, providing the student with a means of self-testing the concepts presented in the chapter. Some conceptual questions are appropriate for initiating classroom discussions. Problems. All questions and problems for this revision were carefully reviewed to improve their variety, interest, and pedagogical value while maintaining their clarity and quality. An extensive set of problems is included at the end of each chapter (in all, almost 2,000 problems are provided in the tenth edition). Problem-Solving Strategies.

NEW TO THIS EDITION NEW Enhanced WebAssign Reasoning and Relationships tutorials, adapted for WebAssign by Nick Giordano, coach students through the process of making reasonable estimates of key parameters when exact information is not supplied and include feedback specific to students common misconceptions. Such creative problem solving is a valuable skill for students in all endeavors. NEW worked examples and new Concept Checks added to nearly every chapter give students additional problem-solving examples. All end-of-chapter questions and problems were systematically reviewed and edited for clarity, and new Reasoning and Relationships problems (typically three per chapter) were added. FEATURES Addresses Student Misconceptions Chapter 2 offers a qualitative and conceptual discussion of Newton s laws of motion and what they tell us about the relationship between forces and motion. The goal is to arm students with an understanding of this relationship to address many of their pre- Newtonian misconceptions and prepare for the discussion of the application of those laws in Chapter 3 and beyond. Armed with an understanding of the proper relationship between kinematics and forces, students can then reason about a variety of problems in mechanics. This approach also provides instructors with the flexibility to introduce a wider variety of problems much sooner in the course, and models for students the process of successful study in physics. Emphasis on Developing Strong Problem Solving Skills A consistent five-step approach to problem solving is featured in every example, helping students move beyond narrow applications of formulas to recognize the big picture in a given situation. Students are asked to recognize the physical principles involved, draw a sketch of the problem, identify the relationships between known and unknown quantities, solve for the unknown quantity, and ask what the answer means and whether it makes sense. Numerous innovative Reasoning and Relationships problems in both the problem sets and in-chapter examples encourage students to use estimations and careful assumptions to gain an intuitive understanding of real-world situations. By applying fundamental principles to solve problems creatively and effectively, students deepen their understanding of physics. Explicit problem-solving strategies are also given for major classes of quantitative problems, such as applying the conservation of mechanical energy. Relationships Between Physics and the Life Sciences A unique range of applications emphasizes the relationships between physics and other areas of science, particularly the life sciences. For example, molecular motors are discussed as an application of work and energy (Chapter 6), and photosynthesis is covered as a thermodynamic process (Chapter 16). Applications such as these are interwoven throughout the text to motivate student understanding. Comprehensive Online Learning Resources The text is fully supported by Enhanced WebAssign, the market-leading online homework system developed by physicists for physicists. This enhanced version includes all quantitative end-of-chapter problems; Reasoning and Relationships problems; authorwritten and -coded tutorials; Concept Checks; animations; PHET simulations; and a customizable, interactive ebook. All questions provide answerspecific feedback, and many provide guided hints to drive students to content mastery. Examples and concepts build on previous knowledge throughout the text, revisiting key ideas and topics to build a stronger understanding of the relationships between various physical principles and how they can be applied to the students experience. The theme of amplifying forces, for example, is revisited during later discussions of work and energy and is further applied to discuss the mechanics of the ear. Concept Checks occur throughout each chapter as a tool to aid student reflection on key principles and fundamental issues. Many Concept Checks have been cast in an objective format to facilitate use with audience response system technology. Marginal Insights draw attention to specific ideas in the text, adding greater depth to a topic or reinforcing important key messages. 30

43 COLLEGE PHYSICS, VOLUME 2, INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 9E Raymond A. Serway, James Madison University (Emeritus); Chris Vuille, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, Volume 2, 9e, International Edition provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples. For students planning to take the MCAT exam, the text includes exclusive test prep and review tools to help you prepare. NEW TO THIS EDITION Analytics from Enhanced WebAssign Used to Revise Questions and Problems. As part of the revision of the questions and problems sets, the authors utilized extensive user analytics gathered by WebAssign, from both instructors who assigned and students who worked on problems from previous editions of COLLEGE PHYSICS. These analytics helped tremendously, indicating when the phrasing in problems could be clearer, thus providing guidance on how to revise problems so that they were more easily understandable for students and more easily assignable in Enhanced WebAssign. Finally, the analytics were used to ensure that the problems most often assigned by professors were retained for this new edition. Thorough Revision of Artwork. Every piece of artwork in the ninth edition was revised in a new and modern style that helps express the physics principles at work in a clearer and more precise fashion. Every piece of art was also revised to make certain that the physical situations presented corresponded exactly to the text discussion at hand. Focus Pointers, a new feature for many pieces of art. These either point out important aspects of a figure or guide students through a process illustrated by the artwork or photo. This new art style also helps those students who are visual learners. Integration with Enhanced WebAssign. The textbook s tight integration with Enhanced WebAssign content facilitates an online learning environment that helps students improve their problem-solving skills and gives them a variety of tools to meet their individual learning styles. Master It tutorials in Enhanced WebAssign help students solve problems by having them work through a stepped-out solution. Problems with Master It tutorials are indicated in each chapter s problem set with an M icon. FEATURES Worked Examples. For this ninth edition, we have reviewed all the worked examples, made improvements, and added or revised many end-of-example Questions and Exercises. The questions usually require a conceptual response or determination, but they also include estimates requiring knowledge of the relationships between concepts. The answers for the Example Questions can be found at the back of the book. Multiple-Choice Questions. These questions several purposes: Some require calculations designed to facilitate students familiarity with the equations, the variables used, the concepts the variables represent, and the relationships between the concepts. The rest are conceptual and are designed to encourage physical thinking. Conceptual Questions. At the end of each chapter, there are approximately ten to fifteen conceptual questions. The Applying Physics examples presented in the text serve as models for students when conceptual questions are assigned and show how the concepts can be applied to understanding the physical world. The conceptual questions provide the student with a means of self-testing the concepts presented in the chapter. Some conceptual questions are appropriate for initiating classroom discussions. Answers to odd-numbered conceptual questions are included in the answer section at the end of the 41

44 book and in the Student Solutions Manual/Study Guide, and answers to all questions are found in the Instructor s Solutions Manual. Problem-solving skills and strategies are consistently and carefully presented to help you build this critical skill. The text presents a general problem-solving methodology and reinforces this methodology throughout the text. This feature helps you identify and master the essential steps in solving problems and increases your skills as a problem solver. There are three types of problems we think instructors and students will find interesting as they use the text: Part 4: ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM. 15. Electric Forces and Electric Fields. 16. Electrical Energy and Capacitance. 17. Current and Resistance. 18. Direct Current Circuits. 19. Magnetism. 20. Induced Voltages and Inductance. 21.

Quantum Physics. 28. Atomic Physics. 29. Nuclear Physics. 30. Nuclear Energy and Elementary Particles. 2012, 608pp, Paperback, COLLEGE PHYSICS, VOLUME 2, INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 2E Nicholas Giordano, Purdue University COLLEGE PHYSICS, VOLUME 2, 2E, International Edition motivates student understanding by emphasizing the relationship between major physics principles, and how to apply the reasoning of physics to real-world examples. Such examples come naturally from the life sciences, and this text ensures that students develop a strong understanding of how the concepts relate to each other and to the real world. COLLEGE PHYSICS, VOLUME 2, 2E, International Edition motivates student learning with its use of these original applications drawn from the life sciences and familiar everyday scenarios, and prepares students for the rigors of the course with a consistent five-step problem-solving approach. Available with this Second Edition, the new Enhanced WebAssign program features ALL the quantitative end-of-chapter problems and a rich collection of Reasoning and Relationships tutorials, personally adapted for WebAssign by Nick Giordano. This provides exceptional continuity for your students whether they choose to study with the printed text or by completing online homework. NEW TO THIS EDITION NEW Enhanced WebAssign Reasoning and Relationships tutorials, adapted for WebAssign by Nick Giordano, coach students through the process of making reasonable estimates of key parameters when exact information is not supplied and include feedback specific to students common misconceptions. Such creative problem solving is a valuable skill for students in all endeavors. NEW worked examples and new Concept Checks added to nearly every chapter give students additional problem-solving examples. All end-of-chapter questions and problems were systematically reviewed and edited for clarity, and new Reasoning and Relationships problems (typically three per chapter) were added. FEATURES Addresses Student Misconceptions Chapter 2 offers a qualitative and conceptual discussion of Newton s laws of motion and what they tell us about the relationship between forces and motion. The goal is to arm students with an understanding of this relationship to address many of their pre- Newtonian misconceptions and prepare for the discussion of the application of those laws in Chapter 3 and beyond. Armed with an understanding of the proper relationship between kinematics and forces, students can then reason about a variety of problems in mechanics. This approach also provides instructors with the flexibility to introduce a wider variety of problems much sooner in the course, and models for students the process of successful study in physics. 42

45 Emphasis on Developing Strong Problem Solving Skills A consistent five-step approach to problem solving is featured in every example, helping students move beyond narrow applications of formulas to recognize the big picture in a given situation. Students are asked to recognize the physical principles involved, draw a sketch of the problem, identify the relationships between known and unknown quantities, solve for the unknown quantity, and ask what the answer means and whether it makes sense. Numerous innovative Reasoning and Relationships problems in both the problem sets and in-chapter examples encourage students to use estimations and careful assumptions to gain an intuitive understanding of real-world situations. By applying fundamental principles to solve problems creatively and effectively, students deepen their understanding of physics. Explicit problem-solving strategies are also given for major classes of quantitative problems, such as applying the conservation of mechanical energy. Relationships Between Physics and the Life Sciences A unique range of applications emphasizes the relationships between physics and other areas of science, particularly the life sciences. For example, molecular motors are discussed as an application of work and energy (Chapter 6), and photosynthesis is covered as a thermodynamic process (Chapter 16). Applications such as these are interwoven throughout the text to motivate student understanding. Comprehensive Online Learning Resources The text is fully supported by Enhanced WebAssign, the market-leading online homework system developed by physicists for physicists. This enhanced version includes all quantitative end-of-chapter problems; Reasoning and Relationships problems; authorwritten and -coded tutorials; Concept Checks; animations; PHET simulations; and a customizable, interactive ebook. All questions provide answerspecific feedback, and many provide guided hints to drive students to content mastery. Examples and concepts build on previous knowledge throughout the text, revisiting key ideas and topics to build a stronger understanding of the relationships between various physical principles and how they can be applied to the students experience. The theme of amplifying forces, for example, is revisited during later discussions of work and energy and is further applied to discuss the mechanics of the ear. Concept Checks occur throughout each chapter as a tool to aid student reflection on key principles and fundamental issues. Many Concept Checks have been cast in an objective format to facilitate use with audience response system technology. Marginal Insights draw attention to specific ideas in the text, adding greater depth to a topic or reinforcing important key messages. 17. Electric Forces and Fields. 18. Electric Potential. 19.

Serway, James Madison University (Emeritus); John W. Jewett, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona As a market leader, PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS is one of the most powerful brands in the physics market. While preserving concise language, state-of-the-art educational pedagogy, and top-notch worked examples, the Ninth Edition highlights the Analysis Model approach to problem-solving, including brand-new Analysis Model Tutorials, written by text co-author John Jewett, and available in Enhanced WebAssign. The Analysis Model approach lays out a standard set of situations that appear in most physics problems, and serves as a bridge to help students identify the correct fundamental principle and then the equation to utilize in solving that problem. The unified art program and the carefully thought out problem sets also enhance the thoughtful instruction for which Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett, Jr. earned their reputations. The Ninth Edition of PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS WITH MODERN PHYSICS continues to be accompanied by Enhanced WebAssign in the most integrated text-technology offering available today. NEW TO THIS EDITION STRONGER INTEGRATION OF THE ANALYSIS MODEL APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING. Because students often find it easier to identify a situation rather than a fundamental principle, this revision highlights the Analysis Model approach which lays out a standard set of situations that appear in most physics problems, and serves as a bridge to help students identify the correct fundamental principle--and then the equation--to utilize in solving that problem. As they gain more experience, students lean less on the Analysis Model approach and begin to identify fundamental principles directly, more in the manner the physicist does. NEW ANALYSIS MODEL BOXES. To better integrate the Analysis Model approach, Analysis Model boxes, which appear at the end of any section that introduces a new Analysis Model, recap the Analysis Model just introduced and provide examples of the types of problems that students could solve using the model. These boxes function as a refresher before students see the Analysis Models in use in the worked examples for a given section. EXTENSIVE ANALYSIS MODEL REINFORCEMENT. Worked examples that utilize analysis models (designated by an AM icon) thoroughly integrate the Analysis Model approach in their solutions. The Analysis Model approach is further reinforced in end-of-chapter summary under the heading Analysis Models for Problem Solving and through the new Analysis Model Tutorials based on the selected end-of-chapter problems that appear in Enhanced WebAssign. NEW ANALYSIS MODEL TUTORIALS.160 new tutorials written by text co-author John Jewett (indicated in each chapter s problem set with an AMT icon) strengthen students problem-solving skills by guiding them through the steps in the problemsolving process. Important first steps include making predictions and focusing their strategy on physics concepts before they start to solve the problem quantitatively. A critical component of these tutorials is the selection of an appropriate analysis model to describe what is going on in the problem. This step allows students to make the important link between the situation in the problem and the mathematical representation of the situation. Analysis Model tutorials include meaningful feedback at each step to help students practice the problem-solving process and improve their skills. Feedback at the end of the tutorial encourages students to think about how the final answer matches their original predictions. ANNOTATED INSTRUCTOR S EDITION. New for this edition, the Annotated Instructor s Edition includes 46

49 teaching tips and other notes on how best to use the textbook in the classroom. Additionally, the full slate of icons that accompany the various types of problems are included in the questions/problems sets. (The Student Edition will contain only those icons needed by students.) NEW PRE-LECTURE CONTENT IN ENHANCED WEBASSIGN. Updated simulations offer additional parameters to enhance investigation of a physical phenomenon. Students can make predictions, change the parameters, and then observe the results. Each simulation comes with conceptual and analytical questions which guide students to a deeper understanding and help promote a robust physical intuition. NEW MASTER ITS IN ENHANCED WEBASSIGN. Approximately 50 of the 376 selected problems that appear as Master Its in Enhanced WebAssign are new for the Ninth Edition. Master Its (indicated in problem sets with an M icon) help students work through the problems one step at a time. FEATURES ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS USAGE DATA FROM WEBASSIGN GUIDED PROBLEMS. The authors used extensive user data gathered by WebAssign from professors and students to identify problems that contained muddled or unclear phrasing. The data was used to ensure that the problems professors assigned the most were retained for this new edition. In each chapter s problems set, the top quartile of problems that were assigned in WebAssign are given an icon for easy identification. WATCH IT SOLUTION VIDEOS. Selected problems (indicated in each chapter s problem set with a W icon) appear as Watch It solution videos in Enhanced WebAssign and explain fundamental problem-solving strategies to help students step through the problem. Instructors can choose whether or not to include video hints of problem-solving strategies. PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGY. A General Problem Solving Strategy, outlined early in the text, provides a series of steps similar to those taken by professional physicists in solving problems. This problem solving strategy is revisited in each Worked Example, so students approach problems consistently, developing stronger problem-solving skills.

52 PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, CHAPTERS 1-39, INTERNATIONAL EDITION, 8E John W. Jewett, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona; Raymond A. Serway, James Madison University (Emeritus) Achieve success in your physics course by making the most of what PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, 8e, International Edition has to offer you. From a host of in-text features to a range of outstanding technology resources, you ll have everything you need to understand the natural forces and principles of physics. Throughout every chapter, the authors have built in a wide range of examples, exercises, and illustrations that will help you understand the laws of physics AND succeed in your course! NEW TO THIS EDITION Line-by-Line Revision of the Questions and Problems Set. The authors reviewed each Question and Problem line-by-line to improve both readability and assignability. This extensive revision involved editing problems for clarity, editing for length, introducing better problem architecture by breaking up problems into clearly defined parts, as well as revising to make problems clearer to both professors and students. Analysis of Problems Usage Data from WebAssign Guided Problems Revision. The authors have utilized extensive user data gathered by WebAssign from both professors and students to identify problems containing muddled or unclear phrasing. The data was used to ensure that the problems professors assigned the most were retained for this new edition. In each chapter s problems set, the top quartile of problems that were assigned in WebAssign have been given an icon for easy identification. WebAssign Tutorials. The text now offers steppedthrough solutions to a select number of problems per chapter in Enhanced WebAssign. These problems are indicated in each chapter s problem set with a T icon. Revised Questions and Problems Set Organization. For the Eighth Edition the authors have overhauled the organization of the questions and problems sets. The Questions section is now divided into two sections: Objective Questions and Conceptual Questions. Objective Questions are multiple-choice, true/false, ranking, or other multiple guess-type questions. Some require calculations designed to facilitate students familiarity with the equations, the variables used, the concepts the variables represent, and the relationships between the concepts. Others are more conceptual in nature and are designed to encourage conceptual thinking. Conceptual Questions are more traditional shortanswer and essay-type questions that require students to think conceptually about a physical situation. The Problems set is organized by the sections in each chapter, but within each section the problems now platform students to higher-order thinking by presenting all the straightforward (black) problems in the section first, followed by the intermediate (blue) problems. The Additional Problems section remains in its usual place, but at the end of each chapter there is a new section Challenging Problems that gathers the toughest problems in a given chapter in one place. Two new problem types have been introduced for this edition:quantitative/conceptual problems contain parts that ask students to think both quantitatively and conceptually.symbolic problems ask students to solve a problem using only symbolic manipulation. Reviewers asked us specifically to increase the amount of symbolic problems found in the text, as this better reflects the way they want their students to think when solving physics problems. Expansion of the Analysis Model Approach. The Analysis Model approach has been expanded for the 8th edition to help students to solve problems more like a physicist solves problems. Thorough Revision of Artwork. Every piece of artwork in the Eighth Edition was revised in a new and modern style that helps express the physics principles as well as making certain that the physical situations presented corresponded exactly to the textual discussion at hand. Talking labels that help walk students through the often complex figures without having to go back-and-forth from the figure legend to the figure itself have also been added. Part I: MECHANICS.1.

NEW TO THIS EDITION STRONGER INTEGRATION OF THE ANALYSIS MODEL APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING. Because students often find it easier to identify a situation rather than a fundamental principle, this revision highlights the Analysis Model approach which lays out a standard set of situations that appear in most physics problems, and serves as a bridge to help students identify the correct fundamental principle and then the equation to utilize in solving that problem. As they gain more experience, students lean less on the Analysis Model approach and begin to identify fundamental principles directly, more in the manner the physicist does. NEW ANALYSIS MODEL BOXES. To better integrate the Analysis Model approach, Analysis Model boxes, which appear at the end of any section that introduces a new Analysis Model, recap the Analysis Model just introduced and provide examples of the types of problems that students could solve using the model.

Serway, James Madison University (Emeritus); John W. Jewett, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, 5E, International Edition is the only text specifically written for institutions that offer a calculus-based physics course for their life science majors. Authors Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett have revised PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, 5E, International Edition to include a new worked example format, new biomedical applications, two new Contexts features, a revised problem set based on an analysis of problem usage data from WebAssign, and a thorough revision of every piece of line art in the text. The Enhanced WebAssign course for PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, 5E, International Edition is very robust, with all end-of-chapter problems, an interactive YouBook, and book-specific tutorials. NEW TO THIS EDITION NOW AVAILABLE WITH CENGAGE YOUBOOK! This an interactive, easily customizable ebook, delivered via Enhanced WebAssign, lets you personalize the text content to fit your course and connect with your students. Personalize the book by removing and rearranging chapters in the table of contents, tailoring assigned readings that match your syllabus exactly, or editing narrative content in the book by adding a text box or striking out text. The Cengage YouBook also boosts students experience with the book by letting them highlight text, add their own notes, and insert bookmarks. Animations and videos play right on the page at the point of learning so that they re not speed bumps to reading but true enhancements. Self-check quizzes in the printed textbook come to life with instant grading. LINE-BY-LINE REVISION OF THE QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS SET. Assisted by the user data gathered by WebAssign, the authors reviewed each Question and Problem line-by-line to improve both readability and assignability. This extensive revision involved editing problems for clarity, editing for length, introducing better problem architecture by breaking up problems into clearly defined parts, and revising to make problems clearer to both professors and students. REVISION OF WORKED EXAMPLES. All in-text Worked Examples have been recast and are now presented in a two-column format to better reinforce physical concepts and provide conceptual explanations next to the math for every step. Solutions are presented symbolically as much as possible and only substituting in numbers at the last possible moment. This approach helps students think symbolically when they solve problems, instead of automatically looking to insert numbers into an equation to solve a problem. The examples closely follow the authors proven General Problem Solving Strategy, which is introduced in Chapter 1 to reinforce good problem-solving habits. About one-third of the worked examples include What If? extensions that further reinforce conceptual understanding. Every Worked Example can be assigned and graded through the Enhanced WebAssign homework management system. TWO NEW CONTEXTS FEATURES. Two new Contexts features were added to the Physics in Context organization of the text. Context 4 (Ch. 15) now addresses the issue of heart attacks, while Context 7 (Ch ) now covers the use of magnetism in medicine. THOROUGH REVISION OF ARTWORK. Every piece of artwork in the Fifth Edition was revised in a new and modern style that helps express the physics principles as well as making certain that the physical situations 64

67 presented corresponded exactly to the textual discussion at hand. Focus Pointers, a new feature for many pieces of art, either point out important aspects of a figure or guide students through a process illustrated by the artwork or photo. This new art style also helps those students who are visual learners. BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS. For biology and premed students, BIO icons highlight practical and interesting applications of physical principles to biology and medicine. More life-science applications in the problems sets and worked examples are also included in this new edition. REVISED QUESTIONS SET ORGANIZATION. The organization of the questions set has been completely overhauled by the authors. The Questions section is now divided into two sections: Objective Questions and Conceptual Questions. OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS. Objective Questions are multiple-choice, true/false, ranking, or other multipleguess-type questions. Some require calculations designed to facilitate students familiarity with the equations, the variables used, the concepts the variables represent, and the relationships between the concepts. Others are more conceptual in nature and are designed to encourage conceptual thinking. Conceptual Questions Improve student comprehension with these short-answer and essay-type questions that require students to think conceptually about a physical situation. NEW PROBLEM TYPES. Four new problem types have been introduced for this edition: Quantitative/ Conceptual problems contain parts that ask students to think both quantitatively and conceptually. Symbolic problems ask students to solve a problem using only symbolic manipulation. Reviewers asked us specifically to increase the amount of symbolic problems found in the text, as this better reflects the way they want their students to think when solving physics problems. Guided problems break a standard problem into smaller steps, helping students grasp all the concepts and strategies required to arrive at a correct solution. Impossibility problems begin with the phrase, Why is the following situation impossible? and then describe a physical situation. A student must determine what questions need to be asked and what calculations need to be performed; based on the results the student must determine why the situation described is not possible.

Impossibility problems begin with the phrase, Why is the following situation impossible? and then describe a physical situation. A student must determine what questions need to be asked and what calculations need to be performed; based on the results the student must determine why the situation described is not possible.

Many of the standard topics found in introductory physics textbooks are included. As a result, this book can be used as the text in a conceptual physics course with energy as the central theme. No math or other science prerequisite is necessary. NEW TO THIS EDITION New features include new and revised content for better clarity and depth of information to support student understanding of key concepts, including: Heat transfer basics are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5, then applied to questions of how to keep the heat in your house (Chapter 5) and solar heating (Chapter 6). Basic electricity (circuits, statics) are discussed in Chapter 10 and applied to electric-powered vehicles (EVs) (Chapter 10) and photovoltaic (PV) and wind situations (Chapter 12). Conservation of energy is developed in Chapters 2 and 3 and applied to energy examples of power plants and 70

73 houses in Chapters 3 and 4. Throughout initial chapters, examples of energy use in developing countries are used in Focus-On boxes: China (Chapter 1), India (Chapter 2), less developed countries (Chapter 3); and a look at air pollution (Chapter 8). Basic ideas are strengthened through Activities that students can complete at home or in class. Examples include Energy Mechanics (Newton s Laws - Activity 2.2), Energy Conservation (Activity 3.1), Heat Transfer (Activity 5.1), Solar Collectors (Activity 6.2), and Electricity Statics (Activity 10.1). Current design of nuclear power plants is discussed in Chapter 14, and the uses of radiation is discussed in Chapter 15 in a non-biased way. FEATURES The How Would You Choose feature emphasizes the impact that energy issues have on personal affairs and electoral patterns. Introduced at the start of each chapter and revisited at the chapter s end, this feature asks students to create and support a valid critical argument on a relevant energy issue.

It also covers crucial environmental questions that currently are receiving much public attention, such as global warming, radioactive waste, municipal solid waste, and nuclear energy production materials. The text can be used in physics, technology, physical science, and environmental science courses for non-science majors. Many of the standard topics found in introductory physics textbooks are included. As a result, this book can be used as the text in a conceptual physics course with energy as the central theme. No math or other science prerequisite is necessary. NEW TO THIS EDITION New features include new and revised content for better clarity and depth of information to support student understanding of key concepts, including: Heat transfer basics are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5, then applied to questions of how to keep the heat in your house (Chapter 5) and solar heating (Chapter 6). Basic electricity (circuits, statics) are discussed in Chapter 10 and applied to electric-powered vehicles (EVs) (Chapter 10) and photovoltaic (PV) and wind situations (Chapter 12). Conservation of energy is developed in Chapters 2 and 3 and applied to energy examples of power plants and houses in Chapters 3 and 4. Throughout initial chapters, examples of energy use 79

82 in developing countries are used in Focus-On boxes: China (Chapter 1), India (Chapter 2), less developed countries (Chapter 3); and a look at air pollution (Chapter 8). Basic ideas are strengthened through Activities that students can complete at home or in class. Examples include Energy Mechanics (Newton s Laws - Activity 2.2), Energy Conservation (Activity 3.1), Heat Transfer (Activity 5.1), Solar Collectors (Activity 6.2), and Electricity Statics (Activity 10.1). Current design of nuclear power plants is discussed in Chapter 14, and the uses of radiation is discussed in Chapter 15 in a non-biased way. FEATURES The How Would You Choose feature emphasizes the impact that energy issues have on personal affairs and electoral patterns. Introduced at the start of each chapter and revisited at the chapter s end, this feature asks students to create and support a valid critical argument on a relevant energy issue. Fully revised and updated to reflect the most current material, including: the impact of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the 2005 U.S. energy policy bill, increased ethanol production from corn, the reawakening of nuclear power, new information on fuel cells and hydrogen economy, and an expanded discussion on global warming. The authors integrate the complex questions of energy policy and possible energy strategies. There are no simple answers or single alternatives that can provide all of our energy needs, preserve our economic prosperity, and protect our environment. Hence, questions (many unanswered) are brought up throughout the book to encourage readers to critically think ahead and begin to develop their own solutions. 1. Introduction. 2. Energy Mechanics. 3.
