Kinetic and Potential Energy: Understanding Changes Within Physical Systems (Library of Physics)

In simple language, these informative books offer explanations of the important concepts high school students encounter in science and physics classes. The series uses easy-to-understand examples throughout, to help students investigate and interpret scientific methodology, theories, and laws. Each title in the series covers a specific concept in physics, including the laws of motion and thermodynamics; kinetic and potential energy; gravity and magnetism; the characteristics of sound; and more. Colorful diagrams and photographs help to make this the perfect series for challenged high school students who might have trouble understanding required high school physics concepts. As part of the required curriculum for physics, this subject can prove difficult for some students. This book, written just for these students in easy-to-read language without oversimplifying the material, uses everyday examples to explain the concepts behind kinetic and potential energy.Jennifer Viegas is the author of 'Kinetic and Potential Energy: Understanding Changes Within Physical Systems (Library of Physics)', published 2005 under ISBN 9781404203334 and ISBN 1404203338.
