Physics is a natural science that, compared to others, is less popular among the general population, both adults & children. However, awareness of the presence of physics in every corner of our ...

Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

Diving is among the most popular spectator events in the Olympics, a graceful sport that combines elements of gymnastics and dancing. It’s also an excellent example of physics in action. Let’s look at ...

Here is a diagram showing the person moving in a straight line after leaving the merry go round. At the first position, the person has an angular velocity and moment of inertia of: Quick note: the "2" ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

The University of Virginia is investigating the use of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) angular rate sensor to measure head angular acceleration in impact testing. Output from the sensor, which measures ...
