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.

Mythbusters Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman test whether it is possible for a human being to fall from a jet airliner in flight and live, and if a person can survive being hit on the head by a penny dropped from the top of a skyscraper.

Galileo, having observed a young boy dropping food from a bridge into his uncle's boat, conducts several experiments to study gravity.

Provides information on what gravity is and how it works.
