Synopses & Reviews
Work more effectively and check solutions as you go along with the text! Written by the authors, this indispensable
Student Solutions Manualprovides complete worked-out solutions to 250f the end-of-chapter problems in Cutnell & Johnson's
Physics, 6th Edition. These problems are specifically indicated in the text.
For the 6thEditionof their best-selling Physics, the authors have added both print and online material to encourage readers to engage in the material more interactively. Physics research clearly shows that active learning is much more effective than passive learning. The 6thedition helps readers understand the interrelationships among basic physics concepts and how they fit together to describe our physical world. Throughout the text, the authors emphasize the relevance of physics to our everyday lives.
