Product Information
For some people, driving is an art; for others, it's a science. At the Isaac Newton School of Driving, though, every car is a laboratory on wheels and every drive an exciting journey into the world of physics. As explained by science writer and physics professor Barry Parker - whose father was a car mechanic and garage owner - almost every aspect of driving involves physics. A car's performance and handling relies on fundamental concepts such as force, momentum and energy. Its ignition system depends on the principles of electricity and magnetism. Braking relies on friction - yet another basic scientific concept - and if the brakes fail, the resulting damage, too, can be predicted using physics. Parker's first lesson describes the basic physics of driving: speed and acceleration; why you get thrown forward while braking or outward while turning; and why car advertisements boast about horsepower and torque. He goes on to discuss the thermodynamics of engines and how they can be more fuel efficient; and what friction and traction are and how they keep a car's tyres on the road, whether it's dry, wet, or icy. He also describes how simple laws of physics enable scientists to design aerodynamic cars and high-tech steering systems. Parker then explores the high-performance physics of auto racing, outlines how traffic accidents are reconstructed by police, uses chaos theory to explain why traffic jams happen, and describes what cars of the future might look like. Whether you drive a Pacer or a Porsche, The Isaac Newton School of Driving offers you better - and better-informed - driving through physics.

- h***d (67)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoReally good considering the age of it. Item received very well packaged. Just as described - ‘very good’. Would have been delivered within its due date but Royal Mail were to blame as they had it in the delivery office but didn’t send someone out to deliver that day. This is an issue with Royal Mail all the time so don’t always assume the seller didn’t send it. Good communication and highly recommend this seller.

It really adds to the “eBay experience”, restoring your faith in people/eBay sellers when you’ve found something you like, and having checked the description, you need more information, or simply clarification on something, you ask the question(s), the seller then responds with a promptly: filling in the gaps. A very smooth transaction. I would purchase from this seller again. Thank you.
- e***- (249)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoVery positive experience buying from this seller, the book is as described and very low priced, along with free postage it would be very hard to beat such good value. My purchase was delivered swiftly and securely packaged. I have bought from this seller before and would do again. Communication is excellent and I can highly recommend this seller for great service and unbeatable value. 5 🌟 all round.
