Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise ...

Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...

Pressure is a measure of how concentrated a force is. The amount of pressure exerted on an object depends on the force applied and the surface area it is spread over. Force diagrams and resultant ...

The weight of an object is the force on it due to the gravitational pull of gravity at that point. Since it is a force, weight is measured in Newtons (not kilograms). Gravity is different on different ...

Scientists have found evidence that a relatively recently discovered subatomic particle is breaking the existing laws of physics. It’s not clear what forces are influencing the particle, and there is ...
