Discover the physics behind the MythBusters rocket car experiment by breaking down how momentum changes during thrust and motion. This video explains impulse, force, and conservation of momentum in a ...

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Zero-point energy is one of the most intriguing phenomena of quantum mechanics. Because quantum particles are also waves, they must always have more than zero energy.

How do skateboarders seemingly defy gravity? How do gymnasts flip in the air? They have skill — and, as a Times interactive explored, an understanding of the laws of motion, physics and energy. By ...

Isaac Newton would never have discovered the laws of motion had he studied only cats. Suppose you hold a cat, stomach up, and drop it from a second-story window. If a cat is simply a mechanical system ...
