Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." What, then, happens to a body ...

Physicists use the displacement formula to find an object's change in position. It sounds simple, but calculating displacement can quickly get complicated. Let's break it down using some solved ...

In a fixed-field alternating-gradient (FFAG) accelerator, eliminating pulsed magnet operation permits rapid acceleration to synchrotron energies, but with a much higher beam-pulse repetition rate.

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying terminal velocity, Newton's first, second and third laws and braking. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got ...

The shocking discovery that the universe is expanding at a faster and faster rate has taken the 2011 Nobel Prize in physics. Three American-born astrophysicists will divide the $1.5 million prize, ...

New research suggests that dark energy isn't needed to explain the acceleration in the expansion of the universe — instead suggesting giant voids in space are creating an illusion. When you purchase ...
