College Physics with MasteringPhysics, Volume 1Description |
College Physics conveys the fundamental concepts of algebra-based physics in a readable and concise manner. The authors emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding before solving problems numerically, use everyday life examples to keep students interested, and promote logical thinking to solve multiple step problems. The Seventh Edition of this text presents an especially clear learning path, places a strong emphasis on understanding concepts and problem-solving, and for the first time, includes a book-specific version of MasteringPhysics™.  |

Features |
- Principles are presented first in clear, concise, thorough, and easy-to-understand language.
- Problem solving is demonstrated in a logical and step-wise manner.
- Multiple Choice and Conceptual Questions are now separated, to help students understand basic concepts in the end-of-chapter materials.
- Examples and exercises with different degrees of difficulty are offered for students with various abilities.
- High interest everyday examples, especially in the biomedical and technological fields, are incorporated throughout.
- Problem-solving strategies and hints help students avoid common pitfalls and misunderstandings by providing suggestions, tips, cautions, shortcuts, and useful techniques for solving specific kinds of problems.
- Learn by Drawing boxes give students specific help on making certain types of sketches and graphs that will provide key insights into a variety of physical situations.
- Biomedical and biological applications throughout include the effect of 'g' force on the human body, ultrasounds, medical applications of fiber optics, and osteoporosis.
- Visual Summaries for each chapter include visual representations of the key concepts from the chapter. Centralizing the description, equation, and visual for key concepts in one place makes review more efficient and comprehensible for students.
- “Physics Facts” sections at the beginning of each chapter make the material more relevant to the student by presenting a few interesting facts about discoveries or everyday phenomena applicable to the chapter.

New to this Edition |
- MasteringPhysics™-the most advanced, educationally effective, and widely used online physics tutorial and homework system in the world-and myeBook are now available with this text. MasteringPhysics provides a next-generation solution for assigning uncompromising quantitative and conceptual online homework, giving each student tutorial help precisely where and when they need it, and evaluating student performance in detail on an individual and class level.
myeBook is available through MasteringPhysics either automatically when MasteringPhysics is packaged with new books, or available as a purchased upgrade online. Allowing students access to the text wherever they have access to the internet, myeBook comprises the full text including art and figures that can be enlarged for better viewing. Within myeBook students are also able to pop-up definitions and terms to help with vocabulary and the reading of the material. Students can also take notes in myeBook using the annotation feature at the top of each page. - Pulling It Together worked examples show students how to work problems that involve multiple concepts from the chapter and better prepare them to successfully complete the end of chapter comprehensive PIT problems.
- NEW! demonstration photos showing action or multiple steps of an experiment or process in one photo have been added.
