Motion of Falling Objects: The law of falling bodies is stated, and students determine the value of “g”, acceleration due to gravity. They also solve motion problems involving free-falling ...

Isaac Newton connected the two motions in a way that revolutionized physics and made space travel possible.

Mapping free-fall styles of solid objects within fluids Date: October 11, 2016 Source: American Institute of Physics (AIP) Summary: James Clerk Maxwell conducted some of the first documented ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to ...

So there's no violation of any of Newton's laws or Galileo's observations about falling objects. The levitation time would only increase with a heavier Slinky and decrease if the coils were stiffer.

Veritasium and Adam Savage team up to show off the physics of falling objects. First question: will a penny thrown from the Empire State Building kill you?

One of the most counter-intuitive notions in physics is that all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of mass, aka the equivalence principle. This was memorably illustrated in 1971 by NASA ...

Gravitational wave detectors could soon uncover hints of new physics from exotic compact objects.
