The Laws of Motion: Understanding Uniform and Accelerated Motion

By Betty Burnett

Book Overview

In simple language, these informative books offer explanations of the important concepts high school students encounter in science and physics classes. The series uses easy-to-understand examples throughout, to help students investigate and interpret scientific methodology, theories, and laws. Each title in the series covers a specific concept in physics, including the laws of motion and thermodynamics; kinetic and potential energy; gravity and magnetism; the characteristics of sound; and more. Colorful diagrams and photographs help to make this the perfect series for challenged high school students who might have trouble understanding required high school physics concepts. Written as a supplement to physics textbooks, this book uses diagrams and straightforward text to explain such fundamental points of physics as Newton's laws of motion, mechanics, and free-body diagrams. Easy-to-understand and broken into simple concepts, the laws of motion are clearly presented. The book offers helpful illustrations and clear examples to enhance students' understanding of a key concept in physics. Sidebars, extensive captions, reading suggestions, and a glossary help make this just the tool needed for reluctant readers.
