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 ...

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

Two forces can be added together to find a resultant force. In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when two children pull on the handle, one with a force of 3 newtons (N) to the left and one with a ...

Students in any classroom around the world could soon be able to reimagine the standard diagrams in any physics textbook by ...

ABSTRACT We present the results of a search for cool subdwarfs for which our candidates were drawn from a V−J reduced proper‐motion diagram constructed by Salim & Gould. Kinematic (U, V, and W) and ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
