About the Authors
DAVID YOUNG received his Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter physics from Florida State University in 1998. He then held a
post-doc position in the Department of Chemistry and the Princeton
Materials Institute at Princeton University before joining the fac-
ulty in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State
University in 2000. His research focuses on the synthesis and char-
acterization of high-quality single crystals of novel electronic and
magnetic materials. The goal of his research group is to understand
the physics of electrons in materials under extreme conditions, i.e.,
at temperatures close to absolute zero, in high magnetic fi elds, and
under high pressure. He is the coauthor of over 200 research publica-
tions that have appeared in peer-reviewed journals, such as Physical Review B, Physical Review Letters, and Nature. Professor Young has taught introductory physics with the Cutnell & Johnson text since he
was a senior undergraduate over 20 years ago. He routinely lectures
to large sections, often in excess of 300 students. To engage such a
large number of students, he uses WileyPLUS, electronic response systems, tutorial-style recitation sessions, and in-class demonstra-
tions. Professor Young has received multiple awards for outstanding
teaching of undergraduates. David enjoys spending his free time with
his family, playing basketball, and working on his house.
I would like to thank my family for their continuous love and support.
—David Young
SH ANE STADLER Shane Stadler earned a Ph.D. in experi- mental condensed matter physics from Tulane University in 1998.
Afterwards, he accepted a National Research Council Postdoctoral
Fellowship with the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC,
where he conducted research on artifi cially structured magnetic ma-
terials. Three years later, he joined the faculty in the Department of
Physics at Southern Illinois University (the home institution of John
Cutnell and Ken Johnson, the original authors of this textbook), be-
fore joining the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana
State University in 2008. His research group studies novel magnetic
materials for applications in the areas of spintronics and magnetic
cooling.
Over the past fi fteen years, Professor Stadler has taught the full
spectrum of physics courses, from physics for students outside the
sciences, to graduate-level physics courses, such as classical electro-
dynamics. He teaches classes that range from fewer than ten students
to those with enrollments of over 300. His educational interests are
focused on developing teaching tools and methods that apply to both
small and large classes, and which are applicable to emerging teach-
ing strategies, such as “fl ipping the classroom.”
In his spare time, Shane writes science fi ction/thriller novels.
I would like to thank my parents, George and Elissa, for their constant
support and encouragement. —Shane Stadler

Dear Students and Inst ructors:
Welcome to college ph ysics! To the students:
We know there is a ne gative stigma associate
d with physics, and yo u yourself may har-
bor some trepidation a s you begin this course
. But fear not! We’re h ere to help. Whether y
ou’re worried about yo ur math profi ciency,
understanding the con cepts, or developing yo
ur problem-solving ski lls, the resources avail
able to you are designe d to address all of
these areas and more. Research has shown th
at learning styles vary greatly among student
s. Maybe some of you have a more visual
preference, or auditory preference, or some o
ther preferred learning modality. In any case,
the resources availabl e to you in this course
will satisfy all of these preferences and impro
ve your chance of succ ess. Take a moment to
explore below what th e textbook and
online course have to o ff er. We suspect that, a
s you continue to impr ove throughout the cou
rse, some of that initia l trepidation will be
replaced with exciteme nt.
To start, we have creat ed a new learning med
ium specifi c to this boo k in the form of a comp
rehensive set of LECTURE VIDE OS – one
for every section (259 in all). These animated
lectures (created and n arrated by the authors)
are 2–10 minutes in le ngth, and explain the
basic concepts and lear ning objectives of each
section. They are assig nable within WileyPLU
S and can be paired wi th follow-up ques-
tions that are gradable. In addition to supplem
enting traditional lectu ring, the videos can be
used in a variety of wa ys, including fl ipping
the classroom, a comp lete set of lectures for o
nline courses, and revi ewing for exams. Next
, we have enhanced “T he Physics of …”
examples by increasing the bio-inspired exam
ples by 40%. Although they are of general ins
tructional value, they a re also similar to what
premed students will e ncounter in the Chemical and Ph
ysical Foundations of Biological Systems Passages section of the
MCAT. Finally,
we have introduced new “team problems” in th
e end-of-chapter proble ms that are designed fo
r group problem-solvin g exercises. These
are context-rich proble ms of medium diffi cult
y designed for group c ooperation, but may al
so be tackled by the in dividual student.
One of the great streng ths of this text is the sy
nergistic relationship i t develops between pro
blem solving and conc eptual understand-
ing. For instance, avail able in WileyPLUS are animated
Chalkboard Videos, which cons ist of short (2–3 min) v
ideos demonstrat-
ing step-by-step practi cal solutions to typical
homework problems. Also available are num
erous Guided Online (GO) Tuto rials that
implement a step-by-s tep pedagogical approa
ch, which provides stu dents a low-stakes env
ironment for refi ning t heir problem solving
skills. One of the most important techniques
developed in the text f or solving problems in
volving multiple force s is the free-body
diagram (FBD). Many problems in the force-intensive
chapters, such as chap ters 4 and 18, take adv
antage of the new FBD capabilities
now available online in WileyPLUS, where students can
construct the FBD’s f or a select number of p
roblems and be graded on them.
Finally, ORION, an online adapt ive learning environme
nt, is seamlessly integr ated into WileyPLUS for Cutnell
& Johnson.
The content and functi onality of WileyPLUS, and the a
daptive learning enviro nment of ORION (see below), w
ill provide students wi th
all the resources they n eed to be successful in
the course.
• The Lecture Videos created b y the authors for each
section include questio ns with intelligent feed
back when a student en ters the
wrong answer.
• The multi-step GO Tutorial p roblems created in WileyPLUS a
re designed to provide targeted, intelligent fe
edback.
• The Free-body Diagram vecto r drawing tools provid
e students an easy way to enter answers requi
ring vector drawing, an d also
provide enhanced feed back.
• Chalkboard Video Solutions t ake the students step-b
y-step through the solu tion and the thought pr
ocess of the authors. P roblem-
solving strategies are d iscussed, and common
misconceptions and p otential pitfalls are add
ressed. The students ca n then apply these
techniques to solve sim ilar, but diff erent probl
ems.
All of these features ar e designed to encourag
e students to remain w ithin the WileyPLUS environme
nt, as opposed to pursu ing the
“pay-for solutions” we bsites that short circui
t the learning process. To the students – We s
trongly recommend th at you take this honest
approach to the course . Take full advantage o
f the many features an d learning resources th
at accompany the text and the online con-
tent. Be engaged with the material and push
yourself to work throu gh the exercises. Physi
cs may not be the easie st subject to under-
stand, but with the Wi ley resources at your d
isposal and your hard w ork, you CAN be succ
essful.
We are immensely gra teful to all of you who
have provided feedbac k as we’ve worked on
this new edition, and t o our students who
have taught us how to teach. Thank you for y
our guidance, and keep the feedback coming.
Best wishes for succes s in this course and
wherever your major m ay take you!
Sincerely,
David Young and Shan e Stadler, Louisiana St
ate University
