Mecánica ilustrada

The Tortilla, Archimedes, and Fingers in Your Nose: A Practical Manual of Classical Mechanics. Why does a ball bounce back to the ground when you throw it? How does a Ferris wheel keep moving? What do a tortilla, a satellite, a bicycle, and a roller coaster have in common? Classical mechanics is the branch of physics that studies the motion of bodies and the forces that act upon them. Although it may seem like a complex discipline, its principles are present in almost everything we do every day. With accessible language, plenty of humor, and illustrations full of personality, Marina Montero transforms concepts like gravity, inertia, energy, and Newton's laws into visual experiences that are easy to understand and hard to forget.
