A web page with tutorial worked out solution for several problems includes audio: http://www.usask.ca/physics/physics111/
I am placing A CD-ROM
textbook in the library which will give tutorial help..It is very good
and is easy to use.
Core concepts in College Physics by Saunders (it comes with three CD)
