The Physics Of Everyday Phenomena
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

The Physics of Everyday Phenomena introduces students to the basic concepts of physics, using examples of common occurrences in everyday life. Intended for use in a one-semester or two-semester course in conceptual physics, this book is written in a narrative style, frequently using questions designed to draw the reader into a dialogue about the ideas of physics. This inclusive style allows the book to be used by anyone interested in exploring the nature of physics and explanations of everyday physical phenomena. Beginning students will benefit from the large number of student aids and the reduced math content. Professors will appreciate the organization of the material and the wealth of pedagogical tools.McGraw-Hill Education's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

I rented this kindle book only to find that the back covers with the conversion factors were missing. I was very disappointed and felt cheated. I wish the authors had included all the answers to the problems in the Appendix rather than just a selected number.Other than thess omissions (the reason I rated it 4 stars), the book functioned very well on my tablet. It is useful for college level algebra based physics courses. Concepts were discussed in simple terms, layout was clean and uncluttered by excessive mathematical symbols. Example boxes helped reinforce learning, the images were relevant to the subject matter.I highly recommend it especially for persons taking physics courses for the first time.

This is great if you want to know general physic. This is not a proof base or calc base physic. The questions are a bit easy. It is good for practice for theoretical questions, You won't find questions such as air resistance.

Not sure what to say about this. It's a required book. I think it does a great job explaining the topic it covers. However, it's only as good as the professor teaching it. Mine happens to be great.

100% satisfied! It looks new. Came with in the time specified. If only it came with a tutor. It's been a while since I've taking courses but I will bounce back.

Love the Product is good . The shipping was rather quick comparing to other on site. highly recommended both the seller and product

It's okay for a rudimentary overview of college physics and I'm pretty sure that's the angle they pursued.

Great book quality just didn't need it

So happy with my book.. It looked brand new! Plus customer service was excellent! I needed it pretty fast for my class and they helped expedite the order process
