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 increases If 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....
