Physics of Everyday Phenomena

This book was a great way to first jump into the complexity of physics. The beginning chapters are as follows: 1.Physics, the Fundamental Science (Intro) 2.Describing Motion 3.Falling Objects and Projectile Motion 4.Newton's Laws: Explaining Motion 5.Circular Motion, the Planets, and Gravity 6.Energy and Oscillations 7.Momentum and Impulse 8.Rotational Motion of Solid Objects 9.The Behavior of Fluids 10.Temperature and Heat Through my class which required this text, I noticed a few errors in the Exercise sections for each chapter. Some were written incorrectly and there were even wrong answers listed in the Answers section of the book. While there are only a few, the price a student pays for this book doesn't justify much error in the text itself. Aside from that, however, the book was a great utility in learning physics.

For the fact that it is an used textbook, everything is in great condition. It got through my semester of Physics. I definitely recommend this text.

I'm currently in a level 100 physics class which required the newest edition of this book. I went ahead and bought the older edition for obvious reasons($$$). The older edition has worked fine for this class, although they updated the homework questions in the newer edition so not all of the problems are in the older edition. So far I have only needed to copy down a few of the newer questions from the new edition which I was able to do during the teacher's office hours. So, if you want to save some loot, the older edition should get you by just fine.

very great am sooo satisfied with the purchase and material was in excellent shape will be coming back for further buys if they have it

I used this book in my college Physics I class. It's great. I am planning on becoming a physics teacher and I definatly want to use this book to teach from!
