This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States.

Streamlined and modern presentation and pedagogy:

NEW! Dynamic authors bring deliver the friendly yet focused narrative while preserving the excellence of the Sears and Zemansky legacy. The Tenth Edition conveys a precise, careful, and straightforward understanding of physics, emphasizing the connections between concepts and incorporating the best principles of education research.
NEW! Completely redesigned interior creates an open, friendly appeal while helping students navigate and focus through major principles.
NEW! Key equations are followed by bulleted “Notes” to guide students through the math and help them relate quantitative expressions to qualitative concepts.
NEW! An FAQ section at the end of every chapter answers common student questions, drawn from the authors’ vast teaching experience.
NEW! Learning outcomes at the beginning of each chapter map out what the student should be able to do after completing the chapter.
NEW! Improved pencil sketches are used consistently in worked examples to emphasize what students should draw while solving problems.
Visual chapter summaries show each concept in words, math, and figures to reinforce how to ‘translate’ between different representations and address different student learning styles.
Blue annotated comments guide students in ‘reading’ graphs and physics figures.
Figures, models, and graphs are placed side by side throughout the text to help students ‘translate’ between multiple representations.
 

A systematic approach to problem solving continues with this edition by providing research-proven tools that help students tackle each goal. The renowned problems in this text have been revised, expanded, and enhanced by the authors, drawing from their classroom experience, as well as metadata about real student usage in MasteringPhysics.

All worked examples follow a consistent and explicit global problem-solving strategy drawn from educational research. This 3-step approach puts special emphasis on how to set up the problem before trying to solve it, and on the importance of how to reflect on whether the answer is sensible.
NEW! Improved worked examples include many new or revised examples updated for relevance and interest.
Revised transitions conceptually link chapter explanations to worked examples and Conceptual Analysis problems.
Additional Practice Problems appear after nearly every worked example and are assignable in MasteringPhysics, providing additional scaffolding for students as they prepare for homework.
NEW and REVISED! Conceptual Analysis (CA) and Quantitative Analysis (QA) problems help the students practice their qualitative and quantitative understanding of the physics. The Quantitative Analysis problems focus on skills of quantitative and proportional reasoning–skills key to success on the MCAT exam. The CAs and QAs use a multiple-choice format to elicit specific common misconceptions.
NEW! Bridging problems at the end of each chapter help students move from single-concept worked examples to multi-concept problems at the end of the chapter. Full examples are included in MasteringPhysics as Video Tutor Solutions.
Context-rich problems in the General Problems require students to simplify and model more complex real-world situations. Many problems relate to the field of biology and medicine;
