Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This helps, sort of, but as more numbers get thrown around, it can get ...

Learn the core mechanics behind pushing a block against a wall in this Physics 01 example. This short explains forces, friction, and equilibrium step by step, helping you build strong intuition for ...

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 ...

Solving vector operations step-by-step! ➡️📐 In this video, we break down how to perform vector operations, such as addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication, with real-world physics examples.

Newton's laws of motion, often perceived as abstract, are actually evident in everyday experiences. The first law explains inertia, demonstrated by seatbelts in cars. The second law, F=ma, clarifies ...

It's impossible to talk about football these days without talking about the problem of big hits. The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at high speed are at once one of the great ...

A force is a push or a pull that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object. Force is measured in newtons (N). Forces are divided into contact forces and non-contact forces. A force ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...
