Sinopsis

Excerpt from The First Book in Physics

The subjects that belong to physics. Physics is one of the most important branches of science. Many times every day we make use of some of its principles. All the motions of our bodies, whether in work or play, are made in accordance with these principles.

The act of throwing a ball, running, skating, rowing, climbing a tree, swinging, falling, and so on, are all acts which may be explained by the principles and laws treated of in physics.

All bodies fall to the earth; water runs down hill winds blow and the earth revolves about the sun. These are all problems in physics.

Then there are a great number of machines which man uses in doing his work. The plough, wagon, locomotive, lathe, hammer, saw, wind wheels, water-wheels, sail-boats, steam-ships.
