About this book
WileyPLUS sold separately from text. Cutnell and Johnson's Physics has been the #1 text in the algebra-based physics market for almost 20 years. Physics, 10th Edition brings on new co-authors: David Young and Shane Stadler (both out of LSU). The Cutnell offering now includes enhanced features and functionality. The authors have been extensively involved in the creation and adaptation of valuable resources for the text. The 10th edition includes 160 New Chalkboard videos, guided online tutorials in every chapter, and vector drawing questions. All of these features are designed to encourage students to remain within the WileyPLUS environment, as opposed to pursuing the "pay-for-solutions" websites that short circuit the learning process.

Key takeaways
Apply the principles of kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, and conservation laws for energy and momentum to analyze the motion and interactions of objects in various physical systems.
Analyze the behavior of fluids and thermal systems using principles of pressure, heat transfer, and thermodynamics. Furthermore, describe wave phenomena, including sound and light, and apply the laws of electricity and magnetism to circuit analysis and electromagnetic induction.
Explain the fundamental concepts of special relativity, quantum mechanics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Apply these theories to understand the structure of matter and energy at microscopic and subatomic levels.
