Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "Electrostatic friction is one of the subtle forces that helps objects stay put — even when the surface seems smooth. When two materials come into contact, electrons can transfer between them. This creates tiny patches of positive and negative charge. Those opposite charges attract each other, adding a small “electrostatic grip” on top of normal friction. That’s why things like paper, plastic, or your phone case sometimes cling to a table, a screen, or even your c

Explaining Everything Visually on Instagram: "Mountains form through various geological processes, mostly involving the movement of tectonic plates. When plates collide, they push the Earth’s crust upward, creating mountain ranges. Volcanic activity can also lead to mountain formation, as magma erupts and builds up over time. These natural forces shape the landscape over millions of years. via : (kotagirishekar, TectonicsObservatory)/ YT #knowledge #mountains"

BlackAndWhite on Instagram: "Surface tension is a physical phenomenon that occurs due to the cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the surface. In a liquid, molecules attract each other equally in all directions, but those at the surface experience an imbalance—they are pulled inward by neighboring molecules but not outward by the air above. This creates an invisible “film” at the surface that resists external force and minimizes the liquid’s surface area. Surface tension explains why smal

Science on Instagram: "The lifecycle of a mosquito has four stages and is called a complete metamorphosis: 1. Egg – Female mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of stagnant water. 2. Larva – Eggs hatch into larvae (“wrigglers”) that live in water, breathe air, and feed on microorganisms. 3. Pupa – Larvae develop into pupae (“tumblers”), which do not feed but remain active while transforming. 4. Adult – The adult mosquito emerges from the pupa, rests briefly on the water surface, then flies away. 👉
