Fasten your seatbelts and explore everything that moves, races, and accelerates with 100 Facts: Speed! Written by popular science author Steve Parker, this exhilarating educational book features exactly 100 numbered facts designed to explain the physics behind velocity and velocity limits. Young readers will discover how we calculate and measure acceleration, why heavy objects require more energy to speed up, and who first managed to break the sound barrier.
