gravity

An introduction to gravity, covering what it is, how it influences Earth and the moon, and more.

Describes the study of gravity throughout history, from the ponderings of the ancient Indians, Chinese, Babylonians, and Greeks to twentieth-century physicist Stephen Hawking's theories on black holes, and includes a glossary and further reading list.

Provides insight into the life, work, and thinking of Isaac Newton, known as the father of physics, and discusses his theory of gravity.

Text and photographs explore how gravity works.

An illustrated introduction for early readers to the basic concepts of gravity, and discusses early roller coaster technology, how coasters make it to the top, record-breaking coasters, and other topics.

Explores the engineering challenges behind building rockets, as well as the creative solutions found to overcome those challenges.

An introduction to gravity, covering what it is, how it influences Earth and the moon, and more.

"An examination of the science behind the physical phenomenon known as gravity, including relevant theories and history-making discoveries as well as topics of current and future research"--Provided by publisher.

Presents the second season of the History Channel television series "The Universe," which explores topics such as alien planets, cosmic holes, the moon, the Milky Way, dark matter, astrobiology, colonizing space, nebulas, gravity, cosmic collisions, and constellations.

Explores how applied physics relates to the design and construction of roller coasters. Describes the physical dynamics of a roller coaster, explaining the role of potential and kinetic energy, friction, gravity, momentum and acceleration. Also introduces how the inertial effects, known as G forces, give roller coaster riders a thrilling experience.
