## Corresponding textbooks

College Physics Answers offers screencast video solutions to end of chapter problems in the textbooks published by OpenStax titled "College Physics" and "College Physics for AP Courses". These textbooks are available for free by following the links below. Both the PDF and printed versions of these textbooks contain the same problems. The only difference is that "College Physics" omits the "Test Prep for AP Courses" section found only in the "College Physics for AP Courses" text, but otherwise the end of chapter problems are identical.

In the video @ 45 seconds you have (1.898*10^27) but on the calculator you just do (1.898^27) Can you still get the correct answer doing it like that?

Hi bryanlovell, thanks for the question. With a closer look at the calculator screenshot, notice the capital "E" between 1.897 and 27. This is my favorite shorthand way of writing "times 10^". It has an advantage over typing "* 10^27" since the calculator understands that 1.897E27 should be treated as a single number. This means that when dividing by 1.897E27, the 10^27 factor stays in the denominator where it belongs with the 1.897 factor. To explain by example, for the problem $\dfrac{20}{10} = 2$, typing "20 / 1E1 = 2" which is correct, whereas "20 / 1 * 10^1 = 200" which is not the expected answer since the capital E wasn't used. Of course, one could type "20 / (1 * 10^1) = 2" to get the correct answer with brackets, but avoiding the trouble of typing those brackets is the whole point of the capital E shortcut.

I hope you enjoy the solutions,

Shaun

Thank you for these videos. I do not have a strong math background and the textbooks don't really show all the work. Was able to get 100% on my last homework assignment. Well worth the money.

Hi raffielliemarley, that's a fair question. Currently I'm accelerating coverage of more chapters by doing only the odds the first time through. After covering odds in every chapter I'll probably do all the evens, depending on survey results (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N5WX87Y) from students.

I hope the videos are helpful with your studies,

Shaun
