Description
This program looks at the physics of human movement. It begins by examining some of the fundamentals of mechanics, including Newton's laws, types of forces, force summation, inertia, momentum, and acceleration. It also covers the three types of levers (first, second and third class) and investigates where levers exist in the human body. Types of motion; friction, balance, and stability in relation to biomechanics and the human body are also explored....

Nell Crane has never held a boy's hand. In a city devastated by an epidemic, where survivors are all missing parts--an arm, a leg, an eye--Nell has always been an outsider. Her father is the famed scientist who created the biomechanical limbs that everyone now uses. But she's the only one with her machinery on the inside: her heart. Since the childhood operation, she has ticked. Like a clock, like a bomb. And as her community rebuilds, everyone is...
