Explore the fundamentals of motion with Exploring the Basics of Static and Kinetic Friction Forces in Physics. Learn how friction influences movement, the differences between static and kinetic ...

Learn the physics behind the force on a block on an incline in this clear and easy-to-understand explanation! This lesson breaks down concepts like normal force, friction, and gravitational components ...

Students in Chad Hodgkins’ and Kyle Kilpatrick’s physics classes at International Academy in Bloomfield Hills wrapped up a unit on forces and motion by paddling a cardboard boat across the pool at ...

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 ...

One of the most broadly applicable ideas I’ve ever encountered is the concept of impedance matching. If you’re into radio frequency electronics, you’re probably thinking that I mean getting all your ...

During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances will look different to my students who have studied physics through sports.

At 33, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in physics. I’m not a great mathematician, but the physics concepts were easy to get because so many of them were analogous to life. Research suggests that ...
