This is a cooler physics problem than I initially realized. It goes something like this. A block has a mass of 1 kg and is placed on a vertical wall such that the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...

One of the physics blogs I read regularly is ZapperZ's Physics and Physicists, where last week he posted an interesting observation about the difference between subjects when it comes to modes of ...
