A demonstration of key points of the required practical to investigate the effect of varying force or mass on the acceleration of an object for GCSE physics and combined science.
Recent advancements in particle acceleration technology have led to the discovery of a new method that promises to ...
From this, I get a maximum acceleration of 6.55 m/s 2. I can find the maximum impact force again using the mass of the cart (plus the iPhone, which increases the mass).
Revise how acceleration relates to speed or velocity and distance and how to carry out calculations as part of BBC Bitesize Scotland National 5 Physics.
Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
A sequence of counterpropagating laser pulses is fired at the clouds. This makes each cloud operate as an atomic interferometer that can measure the local acceleration due to gravity. Finally, the ...
COSMIC TRIO Three astrophysicists share the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery that the universe’s expansion is speeding up.
There's a 100-year-old conundrum in physics that we're still yet to untangle, and it has to do with the very nature of space-time itself.
