Physics
This Physics textbook presents the basic concepts of physics that students need to know for later courses and future careers. This text helps students learn that physics is a tool for understanding the real world, and to teach transferable problem-solving skills, that students can use throughout their entire lives. Some of the most important enhancements in this edition include: new/updated MCAT exam coverage added and moved online, review and synthesis problems added, new biomedical applications, lists of biomedical applications at the beginning of each chapter, new ranking tasks, checkpoints, and collaborative problems. Connections have also been enhanced to help students see the bigger picture.
McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

New Features
New “Connections” feature identifies areas in each chapter where important concepts are revisited. A marginal “Connections” heading and summary adjacent to the coverage in the main text help students easily recognize that a previously introduced concept is being applied to the current discussion.
New Checkpoint questions have been added to applicable sections of the text. The answers to the Checkpoints are found at the end of the chapter.
Non-essential coverage and derivations have been moved from the text to the text’s online site. Identifiers in the text direct students to additional information online.
Electronic Media Integration has been incorporated throughout the text. Icons indicate topics in the text where accompanying interactives, animations, and tutorials can be found online to aid in student understanding of physics concepts.
The topical question from the chapter opening vignette now appears in the margin (along with a reduced version of the chapter opening image).
Applications have been clearly identified as such in the text with a complete listing in the front matter.
Many helpful subheadings have been added to the text to help students quickly identify new subtopics.
End-of-chapter problem sets have been revised and include many new problems: over 100 new problems in total.
The number of problems in the Review & Synthesis sections has been increased in the new edition(s); over 30 new problems in total. The MCAT® Review questions have been retained.
