About this item
Did you know that a spaceship would only need to fire its rockets to speed up, slow down, or turn, but could otherwise just coast through space?
It's true! Because of Newton's very famous but often misunderstood first law, pushes or pulls are only required to speed up, slow down, or turn. Not to travel at a constant speed (unless there's another force, like friction, that you have to overcome!)
Learn all the subtle intricacies of Newton's Three Laws along with Kip, a young boy who is given only a single apple with which to make his fortune. He meets a quirky wizard named Newton who is off to the capital, hoping to become king. Together, they discover the three laws of motion and save the kingdom from Newton's arch nemesis.
Newton's Laws: A Fairy Tale is part of the Fairy Tale Physics series. Each book begins with a story and includes explanations of the real-world physics for anyone who’s curious.
With over 35,000 copies sold worldwide, the Fairy Tale Physics series weaves foundational physics concepts into whimsical fantasy adventures for ages 10-12.
Written by a 20-year physics educator with degrees in physics and cognitive psychology.
