  • The cover of the textbook "Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics" by Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett
  • The image shows a drone flying over a mountainous area, likely being used for surveying or photography
  • A freefall interactive video vignette where users predict which object will land first and their confidence in the prediction
  • The Cold-Neutron Time-of-Flight Spectrometer (CS1) at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland
  • The image of Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, consisting of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4 meters) high, 7 feet (2 meters) wide, and weighing around 25 tons
  • Isaac Newton is depicted in one of the images
  • The cover of the tenth edition of the textbook "Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics" by Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett
  • A drone flying over a mountainous area, likely being used for surveying or photography
  • A freefall interactive video vignette showing two objects being dropped from a height, prompting users to predict which object will land first and their confidence in the prediction
  • Raymond A. Serway, coauthor of "Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics," is a Professor Emeritus at James Madison University and has published numerous research papers in condensed matter physics
  • John W. Jewett, Jr., coauthor of "Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics," is Emeritus Professor of Physics at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and has published research papers in condensed matter physics and physics education
  • Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, consisting of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4 meters) high, 7 feet (2 meters) wide, and weighing around 25 tons
  • "Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics" by Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett is intended for a course in introductory physics for students majoring in science or engineering
  • The textbook can be covered in a three-semester course, with the mathematical background of the student ideally including one semester of calculus
  • The book covers fundamental topics in classical physics and provides an introduction to modern physics, divided into six parts addressing different areas of physics
  • The main objectives of the textbook are to provide a clear presentation of basic physics concepts, strengthen understanding through real-world applications, and develop problem-solving skills
  • The Tenth Edition of the textbook includes new features like optimized online homework with contextual randomizations and answer-dependent student remediation for every problem
  • WebAssign for Physics for Scientists and Engineers offers optimized problems, interactive video vignettes, MCAT-style passage problem modules, life science problems, What If? problem extensions, pre-lecture explorations, and integrated tutorials to enhance the learning experience
  • The textbook "Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics" by Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett
  • Dr. John Robert Schrieffer, an American theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate
  • Stonehenge: a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, built around 3000 BC, consisting of standing stones set in a circle about 300 feet in diameter
  • A Mini Cooper speedometer reading 80 mph
  • New Physics for Scientists and Engineers features:
    • Integrated Tutorials to strengthen problem-solving skills with feedback at each step
    • Increased number of fully worked-out problem solutions
    • Objective and Conceptual Questions exclusively available in WebAssign
  • New Assessment Items:
    • Context-Rich Problems (CR icon) with real-world connections and a short story structure, some available only online in WebAssign
  • New Think–Pair–Share Problems and Activities that benefit from group discussion and have solutions not as straightforward as single-concept problems
  • Stonehenge: a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, consisting of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4 meters) high, 7 feet (2 meters) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, built around 3000 BC
  • The textbook underwent reorganization, including the movement of material on continuous charge distribution out of Chapter 22 to Chapter 23, focusing on electric fields due to point charges and uniform electric fields due to parallel plates
  • Chapter 23 now involves the analysis of fields from continuous charge distributions using integration and Gauss’s law
  • Chapter 43 on Nuclear Physics was reorganized, combining material from Chapters 44 and 45, resulting in a series of final chapters focusing on applications of fundamental principles studied earlier
  • Each chapter now opens with a Storyline section, providing a continuous storyline of a physics student observing and analyzing phenomena
  • The start of each chapter features a Connections section, showing how the material connects to previously studied and future material, providing a big picture of the concepts and the structure of physics
  • The textbook includes an Analysis Model approach to problem-solving, based on simplification models like particle, system, rigid object, and wave, to help students identify fundamental principles applicable to problems
  • Attachment is a strong reciprocal emotional bond between an infant and a primary caregiver
  • Schaffer and Emerson's 1964 study on attachment:
    • Aim: identify stages of attachment / find a pattern in the development of an attachment between infants and parents
    • Participants: 60 babies from Glasgow
    • Procedure: analysed interactions between infants and carers
    • Findings: babies of parents/carers with 'sensitive responsiveness' were more likely to have formed an attachment
  • Freud's superego is the moral component of the psyche, representing internalized societal values and standards
  • The Analysis Model Approach to Problem Solving provides a structured process for solving problems
