Converting heat to energy or energy to heat has been a challenge for scientists for centuries. Now, the challenge of thermodynamics is to makes these conversions without damaging the environment.
Sir Isaac Newton formulated the laws of universal gravitation and the three laws of motion. These explain how forces act on matter, and on how matter responds to forces. This leads to an understanding of how things move.
Understanding kinetic energy provides the basics on how the world works and about mechanical energy, and it can be used for everything from the design of a roller coaster to the layout of a ramp for snowboarders.
Physics deals with subjects ranging from how things move to the creation of our universe. This book introduces us to what is being learned about the relationship of gravity, electricity, and magnetism at the subatomic level.
"Explore this fascinating timeline history of physical science! What are matter, motion, gravity, electricity, magnetism, and substances? Who first studied these concepts? And who later built on and expanded the work of those early thinkers?"--.
Readers will learn how religion helped fuel early studies in astronomy, how Stonehenge is related to the Pythagorean theorem, how the development of the scientific method affected the various branches of science, the implications of the "God particle," and much more..
