The lack of a suitable experimental setup and a limited number of in vitro investigations have impeded understanding of the factors that have important roles in altering the drag force acting on tiny ...

With football fresh on our minds, this week’s weather question is: Can Coriolis Force affect the path of a football? The short answer is yes. When a football player kicks a field goal in a north-south ...

Scientists have detailed how the activity of tactile neurons in the fingertip in response to an applied force is influenced by the fingertip's mechanical memory of previous forces. The study, ...

If you follow all the strange news about the physics of the universe, you may have already come across the topic of blackbody force. In 2013, a team of physicists announced they’d discovered the ...

In Lesson 11 part 2, students continue to explore forces. Students use evidence (SEP.3) gathered in the Atwood machine investigation in part 1 to explain how the strength and direction of a force ...

Discuss the concept of gravity. Ask students to describe how they experience the force directly. Ask them how gravity affects objects beyond Earth. Review students' notes from the program. Have ...

A Wind is air moving from areas of high atmospheric pressure to low pressure. Violent destructive winds, as well as gentle summer breezes, result from a complex interplay of different forces. One of ...

This study investigates a key aspect of how ambient flow affects the recruitment of water-dispersed marine larvae onto benthic substrata: the sweeping away of larvae that have landed on surfaces.
