About Physics

Physics describes how matter and energy behave, from a lever balanced on its fulcrum to light carried in packets called photons. Several clues here point to units named for the scientists behind them: the joule measures energy, the newton measures force, and the kelvin scale starts at absolute zero. Others cover the ideas taught early in any mechanics course, including friction, inertia, and the difference between speed and velocity, which also carries direction.

Reach for this when a middle school or high school science class needs to review force, motion, and atomic vocabulary before a unit test.
