One of the most basic things students do in a physics lab is to collect data and use that to build a model. Most of these models come in the form of a mathematical function. But here is the problem.

When an object changes velocity, it accelerates. Acceleration is the change in velocity per second and is measured in m/s 2. Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has size and direction. The ...

Speaker one We’ve been using Sir Isaac Newton’s theories for hundreds of years and still use his equations today. Now, how can we test Newton’s second law using equipment found in our laboratory?

Discover why we can't feel Earth's movement despite its rapid spinning and orbiting, explained through constant speed and ...

Engineers focused on fast, light automation systems may pay too much attention to speed specs when acceleration is what really counts. Sponsored by Rollon Bearing speed is rarely the limiting ...
