Many NHL players like Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon skate faster than 20 miles per hour every game. Hall of Famer Bobby ...

Explore the physics behind driving on the Wall of Death and discover how centripetal force, friction, speed, and circular motion work together to keep a vehicle from falling. This video breaks down ...

Learn how to calculate the force required to push a cart at constant velocity. This video explains the physics behind balanced forces, friction, and Newton’s First Law, showing why constant speed ...

Sometimes you think you have a complete understanding of something and then BOOM—a simple problem throws everything out the window. Let's consider a very basic physics problem involving pushing a ...

Quick, out behind the bike shed, Professors Pendry and Leonhardt are having a fight over a completely hypothetical situation. If we hurry, we should catch the end of round three. Science: it is ...

Really, this is the experiment I wanted to start on. How does friction work in Bad Piggies? Let me start with a quick summary of my experiments so far. Scale. For the size of stuff in Bad Piggies, I ...

Friction is an intrinsic physical phenomenon to curling. Without it, objects in motion would move endlessly, without slowing down. This would cause many safety-related problems: Cars or trains could ...

Researchers report measuring different friction forces when a carbon nanotube slides along its axis compared to when it slides perpendicular to its axis. The observation could provide a new means for ...

Today is the first day of second grade for SteelyKid, and yesterday I took her and her brother, The Pip, to the outdoor pool for an end-of-summer swim. While loading them into the car on the way home, ...
