Centripetal and centrifugal forces are central to circular motion, but they're not the same. Discover the differences between ...

Learn the key differences between centripetal and centrifugal forces, their real-world applications in physics, and how they shape our understanding of circular motion. When you purchase through links ...

This week Shini sits down with us to discuss centripetal force, centrifugal force, and a few other bits of physics to help us understand Uniform Circular motion. Crash Course Physics is available to ...

Friction is a force that opposes motion. It is present whenever two surfaces rub over each other, such as when you rub your hands together, or when you apply the brakes on a bike or in a car. Friction ...

Friction is a force that resists the motion of one object against another. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Scientists began ...

I can't help myself. I have to say something about this awesome water slide as seen on io9. You really should check out the io9 article - an interesting read. But for me, let me see if I can estimate ...

Why is pancake syrup an example of a resistive force? Some forces are called contact forces because they require objects to touch. One is tension force, found in stretched wires. Another is the force ...

Perhaps few physical concepts have received less attention relative to their importance than friction. Learning the 'effective' notions of static and sliding friction, students of mechanics can easily ...
