Some forces are called contact forces because they require objects to touch. One is tension force, found in stretched wires. Another is the force found in a spring. And last are resistive forces: ...

Chapter 6 of physics dives into force and motion! Learn how forces impact motion, and explore how acceleration, friction, and Newton's laws work in real-world situations. #PhysicsExplained #ForceAndMo ...

This video demonstrates how to model rigid objects using springs in a Python physics simulation. We explore how spring forces approximate rigidity, analyze motion and stability, and visualize the ...

Gravity is the force of action between two objects. It’s called a natural force because it acts at a distance rather than needing to be in contact. Gravity is the force that holds us down on Earth and ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

You might have seen some of the viral videos of this giant steel slide at Belle Isle Park in Michigan, which temporarily closed this summer because riders were sliding so fast they were losing contact ...

You’re probably familiar with the old joke about a physicist who, when asked to use science to help a dairy farmer, begins by approximating a spherical cow in a vacuum. But maybe it’s time to ...
