You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

I had an interesting thought, spurred on by a discussion I ran across online about firing guns in space. Apparently, smokeless powder contains its own oxidizer and so you could shoot normal firearms ...

Gravity is a fundamental force of nature; it is an attractive force between any objects that have mass. The strength of gravity between everyday objects, such as a desk and a chair, is extremely small ...

There are various methods to measure acceleration due to gravity. At Higher level all rely on one of the equations of motion. The measurements required will depend on the equation used. Watch this ...

According to legend, Galileo dropped weights off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, showing that gravity causes objects of different masses to fall with the same acceleration. In recent years, researchers ...

It’s a force to be reckoned with. Gravity is what holds Earth in orbit around the sun and keeps us from floating off into space. Unfortunately, it can — quite literally — be a real downer. The ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. For gravitation, the big lesson from Einstein is the equivalence ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...
