As a physics major, it feels like I spend the majority of my waking life solving problems. I’ve calculated the amount of water you get from mixing different ratios of steam and ice, the path of ...

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...

Understand the fundamentals of electrostatics with this Electric Field Due to a Charged Rod Physics Problem Explained video. In this lesson, we break down how a charged rod generates an electric field ...

Two masses, a spring, and gravity: A physics problem you need to solve! ⚖️🪢 In this video, we break down a classic physics scenario involving two masses attached to a spring, with gravity acting on ...

Numerical programming and computer simulations are ubiquitous through all subjects in physics. Thus, computational physics has grown to be an appealing field for those who wish to acquire advanced and ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in physics, what their status is, and how long it will ...

The best questions are always the ones that don't have a single clear answer. In my physics classes, I like to present students with problems that can promote a lively discussion—and to do that, they ...

Math, specifically calculus, is a barrier to many natural sciences, technology and engineering fields. Physics, which is math-heavy, often proves similarly challenging to students who wish to pursue ...
