This is the second in a series of “five amazing physics demonstrations” presented by science-demo guru Neil Downie. In addition to his day job in industrial science, Downie has run Saturday science ...

I saw it again. This time it was an introduction to an interesting online look at introductory physics. I was excited---but then, I wasn't so excited. Right there in the first video they talked about ...

In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, which described his three laws of motion. In the process, Newton laid the foundation for ...

You might have noticed that I'm not too fond of the way some textbooks (and shows) word Newton's third law. In fact, I think students get too focused on THE THREE LAWS instead of just modeling force ...

Human sperm cells and some microorganisms swim by deforming their bodies in a way that breaks Newton’s third law of motion – and we’re closer to understanding how they do it. The findings could ...

Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motion describe the motion of massive bodies and how they interact. While Newton's laws may seem obvious to us today, more than three centuries ago they were ...

Several years back, I had the pleasure of watching Dan Cobley’s TED Talk, “What physics taught me about marketing.” In this talk, Cobley illustrates how physics and the scientific method can be ...

Is there a relativistic equivalent of each of Newton's 3 laws? originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.

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 ...

In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his groundbreaking book, which described the three laws of motion and redefined the way the world looked at physics and science. These laws also work well as an ...
