This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...

The relationship between force and acceleration with Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Dr Alex Lathbridge.

The rate at which both velocity and acceleration change has a material effect upon the pressure drop across the inlet flow window (keep in mind that this valve/piston relationship exists on the ...

Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 ...

(Whereas velocity is measured in m/s, acceleration is measured in meters per second squared, or m/s 2.) How does this constant acceleration affect the distance that an object travels over time?

Researchers have found a significant new relationship in spiral and irregular galaxies: the acceleration observed in rotation curves tightly correlates with the gravitational acceleration expected ...

In this classic physics problem, students often make an incorrect assumption about the tension. Here's how to actually solve this.
