Synopsis

We don't need a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to know that everyone is governed by the laws of physics, but what are they? How do they affect us? Why do they matter? What did Newton mean by saying for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction? Which law talks about the conservation of energy? What is Bernoulli's Principle? Einstein's Theory of Relativity? How do forces, motion, energy, and intertia interact? How do laws, theories, and hypotheses differ? Physics can often seem complex and complicated, but it need not be so difficult to understand. Revised for the first time in a decade, the completely updated third edition of The Handy Physics Answer Book makes physics and its impact on us, the world, and the universe fun and easy to understand. It disposes with the mathematical explanations and scientific jargon often associated with physics and instead takes a more conceptual approach all written in everyday English.
