I see this problem all the time. The idea that if you apply a constant force on an object, it should move at a constant speed. Really, this is what Aristotle would say, right? There are two course ...

If you are designing a product that requires any sort of smart-motion precision, spring parts that apply constant force or constant resistance are key mechanical design elements to consider. Two of ...

To investigate experimentally the extension of a spring and how it is related to the applied force, and recall that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...

Why did you choose to study physics? My interest in science started very early, probably with science-fiction books like the Tom Swift series, which are aimed at children. After brief stints in ...
