- All of the chapter-opening Puzzlers are new and are based on current research in scientific, engineering, medical, and legal journals.
- The first section in every chapter introduces the subject of the chapter by asking and answering, "What is Physics?" as the question pertains to the chapter.
- eGrade Plus is a powerful course management tool that allows instructors to provide their students with a dynamic, interactive learning environment. eGrade Plus combines two innovative web-based programs - eGrade and a multimedia version of the entire textbook.
- Chapters 9 and 10 from the sixth edition have been combined into a single Chapter 9 that contains a full discussion of momentum and the conservation of momentum for both explosions and collisions.
- Chapter 11, "Rolling, Torque, and Angular Momentum," now contains the physics of the gyroscope.
- Chapter 16, "Waves I," now contains a derivation of the wave equation.
- Chapter 31, "Electromagnetic Oscillations and Alternating Current," is now presented before the chapter on Maxwell's equations and magnetic materials (Chapter 32).
