Multiple forces act on an object at the same time. The size and direction of these forces determines the movement of the object. Show the forces acting on an object in a free body diagram. The arrows ...

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 ...

Hydraulics is great for lifting heavy loads and applying large amounts of force, but the same power that is required to exert a large amount of lifting or compression force can also do damage or ...

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.

Why do things fall? It’s about force and motion. Find out more in this Science Trek short. A force is basically a push or a pull. Forces like gravity, inertia, and momentum affect everything. On this ...

A couple of commenters expressed concern over the use of centrifugal force after my rant on the use of the word force. So, what is the deal with these two terms? Are they ok to use? Are they real ...

Do you need some practice with force diagrams for your introductory (or advanced) physics course? Here are three questions (and the last one is awesome) about the motion of a bike as it is pulled.
