Reddit’s r/cars served up a spicy physics refresher this week after one user asked a deceptively simple question: does the ...
Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...
My recent post on tightropes reminded me of a great "hack." Here's the situation. Your car is stuck in the mud, so you grab a rope and tie it to the front of the car and then the other end to a very ...
Question: How do you make a stand up paddle board go straight if you only paddle on one side? Of course, I'm not an expert paddler so my usual propulsion method means I paddle on one side then switch ...
Neutron stars are ultra-dense star remnants made up primarily of nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons). Over the course of ...
Two physicists in the US have come up with a way to use a “bubble” of ultracold atoms to measure extremely small forces. The scheme, which has yet to be tested experimentally, involves monitoring the ...
Try these interactive flashcards based on GCSE physics past papers. By working your way through the flashcards created by experts, you can prepare for your physics exams and make your revision more ...
In many people’s minds, the primary focus of physics is on the very large (black holes, the distant universe and the problems of cosmology) or the very small (the Higgs boson and the other subatomic ...
