Some forces are called contact forces because they require objects to touch. One is tension force, found in stretched wires. Another is the force found in a spring. And last are resistive forces: ...

Resistive wall modes (RWMs) represent a class of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities that arise in plasmas confined by conducting structures which, owing to finite electrical resistivity, do not ...

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 ...
