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 ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.

Such projects are often fun for students and teachers. Teachers are often intrigued and amazed by students’ ideas and ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Now that David Beckham won't be appearing at the London 2012 Olympics, other members of Team GB wanting to brush up on their free-kicks can rest easy. A physics students has figured out the optimum ...

This force will cause the cart to accelerate—in this case, to the left, or the opposite way it was heading, which is why it slows down during impact and even reverses direction. But what is the ...

This story is part of Short Wave's series Space Camp about all the weird, wonderful things happening in the universe. Check out the rest of the series. What does it take to launch into space? Other ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven’t documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...
