Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

It's amazing how, all around us, simple physics are used in complex ways we really take for granted, especially when it comes to cars. A popular science YouTuber and author came up with a really ...

WAAAAAYYY back when I was in middle school physics they had some programs on our school computer that let you build simple machines. We basically built Rube Goldberg machines in the simulator to test ...

Physics has a bit of a problem. Stuff that you don’t really think about, like single items moving on frictionless surfaces or two bodies traveling in the void of space, are really easy to explain.

Sometimes you think you have a complete understanding of something and then BOOM—a simple problem throws everything out the window. Let's consider a very basic physics problem involving pushing a ...

Physics is more than just math, and it is never too young to start learning about the world. The Louisville Public Library, 951 Spruce St., hosted Renee Gurganus, a physics instructor at the ...
