Explore the fascinating physics of a pig flying in a circle while hanging from a string! In this video, we break down concepts like circular motion, tension, centripetal force, and acceleration, ...

Explore the physics behind rope swings and learn how to calculate the maximum tension in the rope using centripetal acceleration. This video breaks down the forces at play when swinging in a circular ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A couple of commenters expressed concern over the use of centrifugal force after my rant on the use of the word force. So, what is the deal with these two terms? Are they ok to use? Are they real ...

During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances ...

Physics centers essentially on four forces that control our known, visible universe, governing everything from the production of heat in the sun to the way your laptop works. They are gravity, ...
