The best questions are always the ones that don't have a single clear answer. In my physics classes, I like to present students with problems that can promote a lively discussion—and to do that, they ...

In this video, we’ll break down how to solve physics problems involving the motion of a 2D spring. Learn about the forces at play, how to model the spring’s movement, and the key concepts behind ...

In this video, we break down the classic physics problem of a block on an incline with friction. Learn how to calculate the forces at play, including gravitational force, normal force, and frictional ...

Have you ever tried searching Google for answers to your homework, and more specifically, math and science problems? Back in the day, this was a hard feat, as Google would only lead users to websites ...

It's still near the beginning of the semester for most introductory physics courses—so it's not too late to give some physics advice. I know it might be hard to believe—at least it is for me—but I ...

It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about the ...
