Physics

Now in a NEW high school edition, Cutnell and Johnson has been the #1 text in the algebra-based physics market for over 15 years. Teachers will find that the goals of the text are aligned directly with the goals of the AP* Physics program.

Like an elite athlete, students need superior support to reach the top of their game and be successful. Cutnell and Johnson puts students in motion and supports them every step of the way. Acting as essential equipment, PHYSICS 8e aids in the development of conceptual understanding, and shows students the relevance of physics to their lives and future careers.

Key to any successful athlete is practice, and physics is no different. Working high quality problem sets is one of the best ways for students to learn physics, and be successful. However, to benefit from working problems students need immediate feedback, and varying levels of coaching. WileyPLUS provides the support instructors need to efficiently and effectively manage their classroom and improve student performance.

Thousands of students have used Cutnell and Johnson as the equipment they need to build their problem-solving confidence, push their limits, and be successful.

New to this Edition:

• NEW AP* Specific Content

  New features in the eighth edition have been designed with both the AP* curriculum and the exam in mind.

• FOCUS ON CONCEPTS

  This new feature is located at the end of every chapter and replaces the Conceptual Questions. It consists primarily of multiple-choice questions that deal with important concepts. Some problems are also included that are designed to avoid mathematical complexity in order to probe basic conceptual understanding. All of the questions and problems are available for assignment via WileyPLUS. These algorithmically generated questions provide extensive feedback for both right and wrong answers.

• MODIFIED CONCEPTUAL EXAMPLES

  Conceptual examples appear in every chapter. They are intended as explicit models of how to use physics principles to analyze a situation described in a problem before attempting to solve the problem numerically. The Focus-on-Concepts questions provide the homework counterpart to the conceptual examples.

• EXPANDED CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

  This feature appears at the ends of selected sections in every chapter and consists of questions in either a multiple-choice or a free-response format. The questions (answers are in the back of the book) are designed to enable students to see if they have understood the concepts discussed in the section. The collection of questions has been substantially increased relative to that present in the seventh edition, and the scope of the questions has been expanded considerably. Teachers who use a classroom response system will also find the questions useful to use as clicker-questions.

• EXPANDED AND MODIFIED GO^TM PROBLEMS

  Some of the homework problems found in the collection at the end of each chapter are marked with a special GO^TM icon. All of these problems are available for assignment via WileyPLUS. There are 332 GO^TM problems, an increase of about 40% relative to those present in the seventh edition. In addition and new to the eighth edition, each of these problems in WileyPLUS now includes a guided tutorial option that instructors can make available for student-access with or without penalty.

• ENHANCEMENTS TO WileyPLUS

  Data Tables have been added to many problems. Like the tables found in the Analyzing-Multiple-Concept-Problems examples in the text, these tables provide an organized starting point from which students can begin the problem solving process.

   

  A substantial number of Sample Examples have been added. These examples allow students to see worked out problems that are similar, but not identical, to those in their homework assignments.

  Line drawings have been added to many problems that currently do not have them in the text. Students find it easier to begin the problemsolving process when they can visualize the situation.

WILEY PHYSICS DEMONSTRATION DVD
978-0-471-68166-3
This DVD contains over 80 classic physics demonstrations that will engage and instruct your students. An accompanying instructor's guide is available

Instructor's Companion Site
This website (www.wiley.com/college/cutnell) was developed specifically for Physics, Eighth Edition. Instructors can access a wide range of essential resources, including the Test Bank, Lecture Note PowerPoint slides, Personal Response Questions, Image Gallery, and a number of other important materials.

Instructor's Resource Guide (Online Only)
Written by David T. Marx, Illinois State University. This guide contains an extensive listing of Web-based physics education resources. It also includes teaching ideas, lecture notes, demonstration suggestions, alternative syllabi for courses of different lengths and emphasis. A Problem Locator Guide provides an easy way to correlate seventh-edition problem numbers with the corresponding eighth-edition numbers. The guide also contains a chapter on the effective use of Personal Response System.

Personal Response Questions (Online Only)
Written by David T. Marx, Illinois State University. This bank of 220 "clicker" questions is made up of Reading Quiz questions and Interactive Lecture Questions. The Reading Quiz Questions are fairly simple in nature, typically used for attendance taking, to keep students engaged, and to ensure that they have completed the assigned reading. Interactive Lecture Questions are more difficult and thought-provoking, intended to promote classroom discussion and to reveal major misconceptions among students.

Lecture Note PowerPoint Slides (Online Only)
Written by Michael Tammaro, University of Rhode Island. These PowerPoint slides contain lecture outlines, figures, and key equations.

Wiley Physics Simulations (Online Only)
This contains 50 interactive simulations (Java applets) that can be used for classroom demonstrations.
