Explore the physics behind a penny on a spinning record player and the role of friction! 🌀💡 In this video, we break down the forces acting on the penny, explain how friction affects motion, and ...

Learn the physics behind the force on a block on an incline in this clear and easy-to-understand explanation! This lesson breaks down concepts like normal force, friction, and gravitational components ...

At a busy street crossing, people wait for the signal to change. When one person steps out first, others soon follow. Scientists in Amsterdam have found that this same kind of behavior happens at a ...

Really, this is the experiment I wanted to start on. How does friction work in Bad Piggies? Let me start with a quick summary of my experiments so far. Scale. For the size of stuff in Bad Piggies, I ...

Friction is an intrinsic physical phenomenon to curling. Without it, objects in motion would move endlessly, without slowing down. This would cause many safety-related problems: Cars or trains could ...

Quick, out behind the bike shed, Professors Pendry and Leonhardt are having a fight over a completely hypothetical situation. If we hurry, we should catch the end of round three. Science: it is ...

Humans have been making fire using friction for thousands of years, with evidence of its use found in archaeological records across different cultures worldwide. Fire by friction is a testament to ...

All of the sports at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortino involve some physics in action. For figure skating, ski jumping ...

In a recent stunt, a Ford crew hitched an all-electric F-150 pickup truck to a freight train filled with 42 more F-150s. Then a driver hit the throttle, and the pickup truck towed the 1.3 ...

The icy ballet of stone upon ice makes curling one of the most intriguing sports of the Winter Olympics. But scientists still ...

While friction isn’t the only influence on the slopes, it is definitely something at the top of a skier’s mind—especially ...

Nanomachines will depend on our knowledge of friction, heat transfer and energy dissipation at the atomic level for their very survival. In the scramble to revolutionize the world with nanotechnology ...
