Imagine you want to study what happens when an object accelerates. Oh, this is way before any of that internet stuff—also, no computers or electronics. In fact, let's say it's the year 1780. What do ...

In Physics 01 Chapter 4, we explore how motion is described using the fundamental kinematic equations. Learn how position, ...

LOGAN, UTAH - A popular backyard science experiment led a team of fluid dynamics experts to a new math formula that more accurately predicts cavitation and its damaging effects. A common culprit in ...

Step 1 - FBD: Draw individual FBDs of the bar and the block. Step 2 - Kinetics: Using your FBDs above, write down the Newton/Euler equations for the block and the bar. Be careful with your moment ...

The universe’s accelerating expansion has long puzzled physicists. For decades, dark energy, an unseen force thought to make up nearly 70% of the cosmos, has been the leading explanation. But a new ...

I assume the laws of physics still apply in "unintended acceleration." In particular, F=ma, "force equals mass times acceleration," implies that acceleration depends on a continued applied force. With ...

In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate.
