Halliday Resnick’s Fundamentals of Physics, 12th Edition

Enhanced free-body diagram solutions

Enhanced free-body diagram solutions: Allow students to manipulate different forces in a vector with immediate feedback and walkthroughs.

Adaptive Assignments powered by Knewton

Adaptive Assignments for every chapter offer personalized, mastery-based practice. Artificial intelligence targets just-in-time remediation directly from the 12th edition enhanced etext or multimedia content when a knowledge gap is identified, building student confidence, and engaging them with the course material in New WileyPLUS. Adaptive Assignments ignite students’ confidence to persist so that they can succeed in their courses and beyond. By continuously adapting to each students’ needs and providing achievable goals with just-in-time instruction, Adaptive Assignments close knowledge gaps to accelerate learning.

Interactive Exercises and Simulations

Depicting a physical situation in which time dependent phenomena are animated and information is presented in multiple representations, including a visual representation of the physical system as well as a plot of related variables. Adjustable parameters allow the user to change a property of the system and to see the effects of that change on the subsequent behavior, “seeing” physics in action. Simulations are also linked to a set of interactive exercises that guide students through a deeper interaction with the physics underlying the simulation. Dozens of media activities are available for each chapter, including simulations, demonstration videos, and animations.

GO Tutorials

GO Tutorials, leading the student through key ideas and hints when wrong answers are submitted. Final answer is not given and left up to the student to solve though.

• Checkpoints within each chapter module.
• All end of chapter homework problems.
• Symbolic notation problems.

More than 1500 instructional videos

More than 1500 multimedia assets, including instructional videos of Jearl Walker drawing on screen with is voice overlayed.

Additional videos include:

• Reviews of high school math, including basic algebraic manipulations, trig functions, and simultaneous equations.
• Introductions to vector manipulations.
• Tutorials on chapter subjects.
• Presentations of sample problems and how to read technical material.
• Video solutions to 20% of the end-of chapter problems.
• Examples of how to read data from graphs.

What’s New to This Course

• New Solution Walk Through problems follow a learn, understand, practice sequence. Students are asked to watch the video, answer a conceptual question, and solve two work problems. 3 of these Solution Walk Through problems can be found in each chapter.
• 500+ Chalkboard Videos have been updated with a modern, clean look while maintaining author Jearl Walker’s engaging tone that makes physics click for students.
• 80+ new Applied Physics problems feature real-world, student-friendly topics like F1 racing and Taylor Swift.
• Significant figure treatment has been reviewed and standardized across WileyPLUS questions for greater accuracy and consistency.
• Accessibility improvements have been made across questions and course resources.
• An updated EEPUB with interactive figures will be available in June 2027.

Additional Features Include

• 20+ Math Help Videos.
• Concept Questions and Lecture Concept Check Questions.
• Physics Demonstration Videos.
• MCAT Practice Questions: one practice test per chapter to reflect the updated MCAT exam style.

Instructor Resources

• Instructor’s Solutions Manual provides worked-out solutions for all problems found at the end of each chapter. It is available in both MSWord and PDF.
• Instructor’s Manual containing lecture notes outlining the most important topics of each chapter; demonstration experiments; laboratory and computer projects; film and video sources; answers to all questions, exercises, problems, and checkpoints; and a correlation guide to the questions, exercises, and problems in the previous edition. It also contains a complete list of all problems for which solutions are available to students.
• Classroom Response Systems (“Clicker”) Questions with two sets of questions available: Reading Quiz questions and Interactive Lecture questions. The Reading Quiz questions are intended to be straightforward for any student who reads the assigned material. The Interactive Lecture questions are intended for use in an interactive lecture setting.
• Wiley Physics Simulations offer a collection of 50 interactive simulations (Java applets) that can be used for classroom demonstrations.
• Wiley Physics Demonstrations are a collection of digital videos of 80 standard physics demonstrations. They can be shown in class or accessed from WileyPLUS. There is an accompanying Instructor’s Guide that includes “clicker” questions.
• Test bank includes nearly 3,000 multiple-choice questions. These items are also available in the Computerized Test Bank, which provides full editing features to help you customize tests (available in both IBM and Macintosh versions).
• All text illustrations suitable for both classroom projection and printing.
• New TestGen computerized test bank allows for quick creation of quizzes or tests. TestGen provides a variety of question types and also allows instructors to create their own questions.
• Lecture PowerPoint Slides serve as a helpful starter pack for instructors, outlining key concepts and incorporating figures and equations from the text.
