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 ...

Thought experiments can be extremely powerful; after all, pretty much everything that [Einstein] came up with was based on thought experiments. But when a thought experiment turns into a real ...

Everyone needs some “go to” demos. Personally, I like this one. It’s not too difficult to build and it’s easy to use. Take a large block of wood (it needs to have a good mass). I used a left over ...

Bridges... bridges, bridges, bridges. We talk a lot about bridges in Physics. Why? Because there is A LOT of practical physics that can be learned from the planning ...

Sometimes the universe is just too complicated to analyze. Heck, if you take a tennis ball and toss it across the room, even that is practically too complicated. After it leaves your hand, the ball ...

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 ...
