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: ...

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 ...

Find out more about Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of force and motion at the amusement park, Silverwood. A force is basically a push or a pull. Forces like gravity, inertia, and momentum affect everything.

Students will apply their knowledge of physical science concepts to create a lunar lander game using Scratch. They will use Vernier force and acceleration sensors to understand forces and integrate ...

Scientists shed new light on the chaotic motion of a solid body moving through a fluid. They claim to have discovered two basic mechanisms that lead to chaotic motion of the body as it interacts with ...

In this installment: FEA plus simulation Information exports Load analysis When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods became available for design work When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods ...

Back in the 1980s, Pacific Bearing Co. (PBC) invented and commercialized plain bearings, which were sized to be interchangeable with linear ball bearings. Plain bearings worked very well in certain ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
