This
Sixth Edition helps readers understand the interrelationships among basic physics concepts and how they fit together to describe our physical world. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize the relevance of physics to our everyday lives.
Real-world physics applications, including many biomedical applications, show how physics principles come into play over and over again in our lives.
Problem Solving Insights explain each calculation in detail, guiding readers through the quantitative process
Includes a CD containing physics simulations
