Fun Mechanics

Why does a person sitting in a train feel that the train is stationary while the platform is moving? If you hit one egg against another, which one will break first? What did Copernicus and Ptolemy argue about? What is the principle of operation of a wind tunnel?.. The theory of relativity and inertia, action and reaction, and much, much more from the field of applied and theoretical mechanics – this is what is discussed in a simple, engaging, and accessible manner, using visual examples from life, in the book by Yakov Perelman Fun Mechanics.
