What is a fake force? Let me illustrate with an example. Suppose you want to use Newtonian mechanics. You know - where the net force is the rate a which the momentum changes with time? Or maybe you ...

Things spin around us, under us and above us every day. When something is spinning, it means that it is turning or rotating quickly around an axis (point). That point is usually in the center, but it ...

If you’ve never heard of Bernoulli forces, you’ll certainly have experienced them. These are the forces that keep aircraft aloft, that draw fuel into your car’s carburetor and cause spinning tennis ...

The fastest-spinning manmade object has been created in a lab at Purdue University. This microscopic rotor is made up of two silica nanoparticles stuck together to form a "dumbbell," and by hitting it ...

Interactions between a spinning object and soundwaves could help develop high-precision tools, such as tweezers that control the motion and position of submillimeter objects by manipulating acoustic ...

Physicists studied crystals made of rotating objects that fragment easily, show unusual defects, and follow a new theory predicting their unique behavior. (Nanowerk News) Physicists from Aachen, ...

Water droplets with two or three lobes have been made by physicists in the UK, who levitated and spun the liquid using a giant magnet. The experiment could help physicists gain a better understanding ...

In 1607, a comet appeared over Europe. This was Halley’s comet, later named after the astronomer who successfully predicted its reappearance and 75-year orbit in 1759. However, in 1607, it was just ...

I will summarize this article for you: “Have you seen these crazy soccer kicks where the ball curves? It happens because the ball spins and physics. Here is a video” Oh, and they have a diagram – ...

Scientists have created a microscopic sphere and set it awhirl at a blistering 600 million rotations per minute. The sphere, which rotates 500,000 times faster than the average washing machine, is the ...
