Learn the core mechanics behind pushing a block against a wall in this Physics 01 example. This short explains forces, friction, and equilibrium step by step, helping you build strong intuition for ...

This post has been sitting in my mind for quite some time. Really, it is about mechanics - not about pendulums. What is the goal in mechanics (classical mechanics, if you like)? Generally, it is to ...

Mechanics is the branch of Physics which helps us in observing and analyzing the motion of any physical object under the influence of force or when the object is at rest (F=0). It can be broadly ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

In 1925, a young German physicist fled to the treeless island of Helgoland in the North Sea to ease a severe bout of hay fever. With nothing but daily walks and long swims to distract him, 23-year-old ...

In 1900, German theoretical physicist Max Planck accidentally gave birth to the field of quantum mechanics (aka quantum physics) when he tried to investigate why the results of his black body ...
