Everything Moves

Synopsis:

Everything Moves explores how the laws of motion are seen in everyday events such as kicking a ball, sledding, sailing and roller-coasting. The book focuses on how contact and noncontact contact forces lead to movement and how this movement interacts with the force of gravity and the effects of friction. It also introduces magnetism.
