The beauty of simple physics

The author of the book takes on the task in simple words to tell about the physics of the everyday world. Unlike many popularizers of science, he offers the reader not a set of disparate facts for memorization, but a number of original examples requiring an analytical approach. What is the peculiarity of tidal waves on the moon? How to calculate the energy of moving water? Is it possible to measure the depth of the pit with a stopwatch? What forces act on baseball in flight? Each chapter contains a setting and description of a non -standard task.
Another goal of the book is the rehabilitation of mathematics, which non -specialists traditionally consider complex science. The first chapter is designed to quickly check whether the reader has fundamental knowledge of mathematics necessary for reading the book. The notes at the end of the chapters provide links to useful literature on the topic under discussion.
For readers with elementary knowledge in the field of physics and mathematics and interested in physical laws
