MarkT Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 My friend (Engineer) is going to after school his son (7th grade) using Hewitt's Conceptual Physics for High School. He is trying to find the solutions manual. Is this the correct item? Conceptual Physics C2009 Problem Solving Exercises in Physics TE ISBN 0133647331 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I believe that is the teacher's manual for the problem solving workbook (0133647323). I don't think there is an actual solutions manual for the textbook, so if he wants answers, he's going to need to get the teacher's edition for the textbook (0133647501). If Pearson won't sell it to him, he can probably find one used fairly easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 It appears that (0133647501) the actual TE text is quite expensive. Does the Problem Solving TE (0133647323) have problems and solutions that follow the text? I think that would be good enough for what he wants to accomplish.

I used Hewitt's Physical Science book a few years back which had a similar workbook. The problems were meant to be done after the student had gotten familiar with the more straightforward problems in the textbook. If he gets an older edition of the text, the teacher's manual might be a more reasonable price. He also might find that the problems in the text are easy enough that he doesn't need the TM.

Is there a plain old test booklet available with answers? He is isn't looking for "credit" for his child just early intro to Physics so test book problems with answers would suffice. His son is my son's best friend so I know he needs "motivation" to actually read the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His son is my son's best friend so I know he needs "motivation" to actually read the text. If he is an engineer, he should be able to solve the problems in Hewitt very easily and in very little time and not need a solution book at all.

Oops meant to say the answer key - yes the father can do the solutions - same with math with my son I like to check the answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Unfortunately I did not keep my student text for Hewitt's Conceptual Physics, the High School Physics Program, but if I remember correctly it does have some of the answers to some of the problems in the back of the text. I kept only my Teacher edition. As far as a test booklet, there is one available or if you are lucky (as I was) there is a "teacher test bank" on cd which can be used to make your own tests. Others have just used some of the many exercises in the textbook to make their own tests. The ISBN of the teacher manual I have is: 0-13-054256-3 (2002) The Problem Solving Exercises in Physics is not authored by Hewitt, but it is a very nice, helpful workbook that applies the text to real life scenarios. I think it is a nice addition to the textbook. So if you are able to get the answer key for that, you probably would not need an answer key for the student textbook. There would be plenty of exercises in the Problem Solving workbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
