Projectile science : the physics behind kicking a field goal and launching a rocket : with science activities for kids / Matthew Brenden Wood ; illustrated by Tom Casteel. - v, 122 pages : color illustrations ; 26 cm - Build it yourself Focus on science . - "Build it yourself" series. Focus on science (Nomad Press) .
Includes bibliographical references (page 118-120) and index.
The science of projectiles -- What goes up: The laws of motion -- Projectile motion: Tracking trajectories -- Slingshots, catapults, and cannons: Mechanical energy -- Curveballs and spirals: Air resistance -- When what goes up doesn't come down: Rockets.
Learn why projectiles follow the paths they do and what factors influence those paths. Readers who are fascinated with potato cannons, slingshots, and rocketry will love taking that next step and applying what they learn about the laws of physics to the science of figuring out where to aim.
Ages 10-15.
