By: Robert Allen Lawson

Quantum mechanics, a spin-off of quantum physics, explores the fabric of reality and our relevance to it through research in science, spirituality, philosophy, and more. more...

Billiards and Angular Momentum

By: Katharine M. J. Osborne

Physics textbooks often use billiards in examples to explain concepts in mechanics - but they teach you very little about how physics can be used in billiards. more...

Centripetal vs. Centrifugal

By: Katharine M. J. Osborne

Centripetal force and centrifugal force are related but often confused. more...

Waves

By: Katharine M. J. Osborne

Waves are ubiquitous in the study of physics, and we are intuitively familiar with them from a very early age, but what are they really? more...

Newton's Third Law

By: Katharine M. J. Osborne

Newton's third law states that when one body exerts a force on another body, the second body responds with an equal and opposite force. more...

Newton's Second Law

By: Katharine M. J. Osborne

Newton's Second Law describes the relationship between force, mass, and motion, and is an essential tool used to unravel the mysteries of the mechanical Universe. more...

Newton's First Law

By: Katharine M. J. Osborne
