Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of foundational ideas in physics, aiming to strengthen one's ability to reason, discover, and understand the mechanics of the natural world. Readers are guided through the complexities of physics using principles and axioms that build upon one another, beginning with a discussion of the atomic constitution of matter, its three states, and the characteristics of attraction, repulsion, and inertia. As readers progress, they will be introduced to Newton's three laws of motion and the concepts of momentum, gravity, and centrifugal force, with direct applications in our everyday world and the broader cosmos. Of central concern to the author is the importance of taking an active approach to learning, one that involves practice and experimentation both within the classroom and beyond. In this view, the book is accessible to the curious-minded reader of many backgrounds, as it encourages the exploration of mechanics using both theoretical and practical methods. Overall, the text furnishes formidable tools for understanding the world around us, from the interactions of celestial bodies to the behavior of physical objects in our environment.
