You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

Explore the difference between calculated forces and constraint forces in this physics-focused video! Learn how to identify, compute, and distinguish between the forces acting on objects, including ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

The science of motion can often surprise you - and an inertia experiment could have the opposite results from what you think!

This week Shini sits down with us to discuss centripetal force, centrifugal force, and a few other bits of physics to help us understand Uniform Circular motion. Crash Course Physics is available to ...

Imagine standing on a vast, flat desert floor under a perfect early‑morning sky, only to see massive rocks seemingly slide across the barren ground, leaving long trails behind them as if some ...

Physicists all over the country have been closely scrutinizing their classrooms and laboratories to locate that seemingly rarest of molecular bodies in the universe: female future physicists. The old ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published ...

Researchers have developed a concise approach to understanding the mechanics of human running. The research has immediate application for running performance, injury prevention, rehab and the ...
