Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed ...

Perhaps the most persistent nonsense in physics: the perpetual motion machine. Bad ideas come and go in physics. But there’s one bit of nonsense that is perhaps more persistent than all others: the ...

The first part of the course includes six units, Physical World and Measurement, Kinematics, Laws of Motion, Work, Energy and ...

Explore the critical angle condition that determines the motion of a spool under applied force. This physics problem breaks down the concepts step by step, explaining when the spool rolls forward, ...

UW-Madison is once again inviting the public to experience science in action with its popular Wonders of Physics shows, a long-running tradition that turns complex concepts into crowd-pleasing ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.
