More DescriptionThis series explains and illustrates the science of physics and its everday applications. Physics is concered with matter - the stuff from which everything is made - and with energy in all its forms. Mechanics deals with force and motion. In order for something to move a force must be involved, and when opposing forces are equal an object will be stationary. While this book deals primarily with mechanics, it also describes levers and other simple machines. Explanatory diagrams and simple practical experiments help to provide a perfect introduction to this fascinating subject.
