A manga cartoon guide that teaches physics using real world examples. One of a series of groundbreaking EduManga titles from No Starch Press.
- Physics is an essential concept in many careers and disciplines
- Authentic manga, translated from Japanese originals
- A fun and useful supplement to any physics course
Klappentext:
The Manga Guide to Physics teaches physics in an innovative way by joining real Japanese-style manga with serious and practical instruction. The books story revolves around Megumi, a high school tennis star frustrated by physics class - and the physics of tennis. Luckily for her, she befriends Ryota, a geeky physics Olympian. After hes persuaded to help Megumi avoid failing physics, Ryota teaches her about Newtons laws of motion, vectors and scalars, and inertia, velocity, and acceleration. As Ryota explains classical mechanics, he uses real-world examples like roller blading, juggling, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis to show the importance (and fun) of physics in daily life. By the end of their lessons, Megumi has mastered even the most difficult physics concepts like momentum and impulse; work and the conservation of energy; the difference between kinetic, potential, and mechanical energy; and parabolic motion. This informative and charming guide also has extended explanations and examples to help readers learn. (This EduManga title is a translation from a bestselling series in Japan, co-published with Ohmsha, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan.)
Klappentext:
Megumi is an all-star athlete, but she\'s a failure when it comes to physics class. And she can\'t concentrate on her tennis matches when she\'s 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, you\'ll follow alongside Megumi as she learns about the physics of everyday objects like roller skates, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis serves. In no time, you\'ll master tough concepts like momentum and impulse, parabolic motion, and the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
You\'ll also learn how to:
Apply Newton\'s 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 object\'s kinetic energy changes as its potential energy increases
If you\'re 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.
