Does a glass of ice water filled to the brim overflow when the ice melts? Does the energy inside a sauna increase when you heat it up? What's the best way to cool your coffee -- adding the creamer first or last? These and other challenging puzzlers provide a fresh -- and fun -- approach to learning real physics. Presenting both classic and new problems, Brainteaser Physics challenges readers to use imagination and basic physics principles to find the answers. G+Âran Grimvall provides detailed and accessible explanations of the solutions, sometimes correcting the standard explanations, sometimes putting a new twist on them. He provides diagrams and equations where appropriate and ends each problem by discussing a specific concept or offering an extra challenge.With Brainteaser Physics, students and veteran physicists alike can sharpen their critical and creative thinking -- and have fun at the same time.

""I found it hard to put down... A useful resource for Physics teachers and lecturers. The puzzles are interesting, and the explanations and mathematics very clear.""
