College Physics

Written for a one-year introductory course in physics usually taken by students majoring in other science-related disciplines or technical fields, this ninth edition is refined based on feedback from students, professors, and reviewers. The book is divided into six major parts: Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Vibrations and Waves, Electricity and Magnetism, Light and Optics, and Modern Physics. By providing more than enough material for a one-year course, the text offers instructors flexibility and enables students to use the book as a reference. This hybrid version features the same content and coverage as the full text along with an integrated digital homework solution, Enhanced WebAssign.
