  • Review & Synthesis: A completely new set of problems and exercises has been added to this edition. Eight Review & Synthesis sections now appear throughout the text, following groups of related chapters. The Review & Synthesis sections contain one set of Review Exercises that ask students to combine two or more concepts learned in the previous chapters. The second set of exercises, MCAT® Review, include actual reading passages and questions written for the MCAT® exam.
  • Students are better able to see the connections between the ideas presented in those chapters and reinforce their problem solving skills when they know there is a wider array of material to draw from.
  • Real MCAT questions included in the text.
  • Many students in this course plan to take the MCAT at some point. The inclusion of real MCAT problems gives them practice in answering those types of questions in the context of what they are learning in the class.
  • Revisions to Problem Sets: Great care was taken by both the authors and the contributors to the Second Edition to add more variety to the end of chapter problem sets.
  • o More variety in level: additional less challenging problems and one-step problems to use as warm ups as well as more challenging problems. o More different types of problems: more problems that are both conceptual and computational and problems that incorporate ideas from more than one chapter.
  • Unparalleled Illustration Program: Giambattista offers an incredible visual program that combines 'showcase' pieces with simpler, diagrammatic pieces to aid student understanding. The majority of reviewers of the first edition of College Physics felt that the text¿s innovative illustrations and Showcase figures were an enormous improvement over the artwork in most other existing texts. However, reviewers also commented that the graphs were very similar in quality to other texts and that some of the showcase illustrations were 'distracting' and 'too large.' Given this feedback on the art program, an art panel of experienced instructors was assembled. These instructors advised us on the most useful showcase illustrations to retain and update for the second edition of College Physics. This group also advised us on where to supply additional and improved graphs, diagrams, simpler sketches, and free-body diagrams to truly enhance the text discussions and examples.
  • An emphasis has been placed on simpler sketches and free-body diagrams that students can use and mimic on their own homework or exams. This emphasis on directing students to begin their solutions with simple sketches and diagrams is also carried through to the College Physics Student Solutions Manual.
  • Reorganization of chapters 2 through 4: 1. Based on reviewer feedback, the introduction of fundamental forces in Chapter 2 was simplified. All material involving surface tension, buoyant forces, Coulomb's law, and electric field was removed. 2. Other reviewer feedback included comments that Chapter 2 needed more numerical examples and problems and more examples with pictures for free-body diagrams. So, the introduction of contact forces, ideal cords, and ideal springs was retained in order to have a sufficient variety of examples and problems dealing with free-body diagrams and adding forces. 3. Some reviewers also felt that the treatment of vector addition and subtraction was ¿too spread out¿ in the first edition, so Sections 2.4 and 2.5 now provide a two-dimensional treatment of vector addition and subtraction. 4. In an attempt to make chapter 2 more intuitive for students, 1-dimensional statics is followed by 2-dimensional statics before introducing kinematics to let students concentrate on each concept before progressing to the next. This also allows one dimensional motion to be discussed as a special case of two-dimensional motion as opposed to treating 1-D motion first, then going to 2-D, which many students find difficult. Whereas, by covering 2-D vectors first and then interspersing 1-D examples among the 2-D coverage, students seem to experience much less difficulty with comprehending the material. All sections from 2.4 to 2.9 now include worked examples of adding forces to find the net force and examples of equilibrium (net force = 0), starting very simply and gradually increasing in complexity. Material from the previous Section 4.3 is now distributed among these sections. 5. Finally, some reviewers felt that it would be better not to introduce Newton's second law until after the definition of acceleration. General definitions of position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration (using vector diagrams in order to avoid common misconceptions that can arise when defining them first in 1D) are now presented at the beginning of Chapter 3. Examples start with 1D and then progress to 2D within each section.
  • Revision of Chapter 6: Chapter 6 has been revised to provide a presentation that gives a clearer view of the simplified model and when it is applicable, along with providing 'caveats' of when the simplified model is not applicable. This provides students with varying models of problems of energy conservation. Chapter 6 now presents the big picture of the simplified model and its exceptions, rather than just a repetitious, forbidding list of warnings.
  • Revision of Chapter 15: Chapter 15 has been revised to simplify and provide more commonly-used notation.
  • Flash-based Interactives! These 'Interactives' offer a fresh and dynamic method to teach the physics basics by providing students with applets that are completely accurate and work with real data. Interactives allow students to manipulate parameters and gain a better understanding of 16 of the more difficult physics topics by watching the effect of these manipulations. Each Interactive includes: ¿ Analysis Tool (interactive model) ¿ Tutorial describing its function ¿ Content describing its principle themes ¿ Related Exercises ¿ Solutions to the exercises.exercises.
  • New approach to college physics - Giambattista was developed from the notes and experiences of authors sitting next to students in study labs explaining physical principles on a daily basis. The authors found that students were able to grasp principles much more easily, completely, and remember those principles, if they were discussed with-in the context of something students were already familiar with and could relate to. The 'Conceptual Framework' approach was developed and all physics concepts are presented to students in such a fashion.
  • Because of the conceptual framework approach, the authors have integrated kinematics with forces in chapters 2-4. This presentation uses force as the central theme and presents kinematics as a natural extension that is necessary to provide a mathematical description of motion that results from a force being applied. This prevents the material from becoming compartmentalized and viewed as something to memorize instead of understand. This approach allows for a gradual exposure to one-dimensional forces, two-dimensional and then multi-dimensional forces. Students also benefit from being exposed to vectors and their terminology much sooner, allowing them to sharpen their skills on simpler situations and then gain confidence as they continue through the force chapters.
  • Chapter 8, presents another great example of how the Conceptual Framework approach has influenced presentation. Rotational kinetic energy is now introduced first since it usually is the easiest of the rotational quantities for the student to understand. It also leads in a very natural way, to the necessity of rotational inertia. Torque, one of the most difficult concepts for many students, is introduced after the student already has some understanding of other rotational concepts.
  • Students are better able to understand the topics as compared to traditional presentation of the topics.
  • Problem Solving Approach: Giambattista/Richardson/Richardson employs a consistent approach to the presentation of examples. Every example includes strategy, solution, discussion, and practice problem (with answer at end-of-chapter). Care is taken to make sure that students are equipped with tools to solve problems and that they do not just MEMORIZE STEPS to solve that one example problem.
  • Students learn how to approach problems and know what to expect when they look at the examples. The consistent format ensures students are on track with the authors at all times throughout the book.
  • Extensive End-of-Chapter Material which includes: Master These Concepts (summary of CONCEPTS as well as the integrated equations) Problems - clearly, one of the most closely scrutinized portions of any college physics textbook is the end-of-chapter material including but not limited to the quality and quantity of problems. The Giambattista/Richardson/Richardson problems have consistently reviewed very well and have been quadruple checked for accuracy. The various problem types are as follows: * Conceptual Questions; * Multiple Choice Review Questions (with more on the website); * Problems by Section (featuring paired problems) * Comprehensive Problems; * Combination Problems (quantitative and conceptual problems combined) * Bio/Med application problems * Problems paired by concept
