You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

Tugging a small toy with your dog can be a lot of fun—but it’s also a great way to experiment with forces acting on an object. Forces are what scientists call the pushing and pulling on objects. In ...

Bumble bees create and feel the buzz of static electricity, and you can too. Use simple household items to investigate static charges. Build an air vortex cannon that shoots air across the room, then ...

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 ...

Find out how forces and motion make our world move in the Science Trek: The Web Show. The world is full of motion and motion happens because of force. On this episode of Science Trek: The Web Show, ...

We are talking about Centrifugal and Centripetal forces using a tornado as an example. Centripetal force is a force that keeps an object moving in a circular path, this force points TOWARDthe center ...

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.

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 ...
