The first semester of an undergraduate physics course invariably spends a lot of time on two big ideas: The momentum principle and the work energy principle. Both deal with forces acting on an object, ...

In 1927, Heisenberg putforth uncertainty principle to the world of quantum physics. It stated that, more precisely the position is determined, less precisely momentum could be determined. The ...

Grover Washington Jr. Middle School teachers Alison Barnes and Gwen Huett don sumo suits to explain basic physics to fifth grade students as part of the "FMA Live! Forces in Motion" performance on ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Explore science and imagination with The Physics Behind Fiction Exploring R2-D2 Flight in Star Wars. This video examines whether the flight capabilities of R2-D2 could exist in the real world using ...

Discover the fascinating physics of a hockey puck’s velocity change using the momentum principle, a fundamental concept in classical mechanics that explains how forces influence motion. In this video, ...

Physics prepares students to understand the laws of nature at their deepest levels. Drexel's Department of Physics gives students the opportunity to explore the span of universal phenomenon ranging ...
