Beskrivelse
Learn about physics with fun projects and experimentsCreated in partnership with Thames & Kosmos, Fun Physics Projects for Tomorrow's Rocket Scientists introduces you to essential physics concepts through do-it-yourself projects that you can then use to perform experiments. Experience the thrill of scientific discovery when you observe the physics of motion, including constant speed, acceleration, and free fall, through your own experiments. All of the projects use inexpensive, readily available materials and software. No experience required!Chapters feature: Things You'll Need--lists of all the components and equipment required for each projectBe Careful--important safety tipsFamous Scientists--introductions to people who've made significant contributions to our understanding of physicsOnline Videos--link to the author's demonstrations of the projectsStep-by-step projects include: Constant-speed vehicleUniform acceleration fan carTennis ball cannon to investigate speed and study free fallTrebuchet for observing the force of weightProjectile-motion catapultWater rocket to demonstrate Newton's Laws of MotionMousetrap-powered car that displays energy transformationsModel rocket engine to calculate momentum and impulseRocket launch ignition system and launch padCool model rockets that demonstrate acceleration, speed, and altitude
