The Manga Guide to Physics by Hideo Nitta (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Manga Guide to Physics by Hideo Nitta, Keita Takatsu Megumi is frustrated by physics. She befriends physics whiz Ryota, who teaches her about Newtons laws of motion, vectors and scalars, inertia, velocity, and acceleration. With extended explanations and examples, this informative and charming guide will have readers up to speed on the physics of motion in no time. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Megumi is an all-star athlete, but shes a failure when it comes to physics class. And she cant concentrate on her tennis matches when shes worried about the questions she missed on the big test! Luckily for her, she befriends Ryota, a patient physics geek who uses real-world examples to help her understand classical mechanics-and improve her tennis game in the process!In The Manga Guide to Physics, youll follow alongside Megumi as she learns about the physics of everyday objects like roller skates, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis serves. In no time, youll master tough concepts like momentum and impulse, parabolic motion, and the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.Youll also learn how to--Apply Newtons three laws of motion to real-life problems-Determine how objects will move after a collision-Draw vector diagrams and simplify complex problems using trigonometry-Calculate how an objects kinetic energy changes as its potential energy increasesIf youre mystified by the basics of physics or you just need a refresher, The Manga Guide to Physics will get you up to speed in a lively, quirky, and practical way.
