Watch demonstrations to learn about basic physics principles, such as momentum, rotational motion and angular momentum. Assistant Professor Dr. Jason Howard also will provide information about what ...

In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time and its reference point. Motion is typically described in terms of displacement,velocity, acceleration, and time. Motion is ...

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 ...

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 ...
