[Jarrett] recently stumbled upon a class of drawing algorithms called force-directed graphs, which artificially apply forces to the elements. The final graph is then generated by applying the laws of ...

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 ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE physics students studying change of shape, Hooke's law, energy stored in a spring and how forces affect the extension of a spring. If you struggled ...

Wilson [Dialectica 63(4):525–554, 2009], Moore [Int Stud Philos Sci 26(4):359–380, 2012], and Massin [Br J Philos Sci 68(3):805–846, 2017] identify an overdetermination problem arising from the ...

In the diagram of a toy trailer below, when a child pulls on the handle, some of the 5 newton (N) force pulls the trailer upwards away from the ground and some of the force pulls it to the right.
