Great examination of infrared and its uses!
-
I'd love to know more about the effects of extreme soundwaves and shockwaves!
-
Very well done! Physics everywhere in volleyball. The video looks like a lot of fun -- we should make our own.

This video is a compilation of what NOT to do, but dramatically demonstrates the recoil effect. Of course, please note that many of the videos depict unsafe practices and are not to ever, ever, ever be repeated.

Nice analysis of physics involved in archery. And yes, we can see the tiny print at the end.
-
Great idea, and very well executed. Goes right along with what we're learning about the electromagnetic spectrum.

Impulse, momentum, forces, motion, energy -- it's everywhere!

Momentum of models... sure would be interesting to test that out with a collision on the catwalk!
-
Conservation of energy... it's not just a good idea, it's the law!

A great blog post! By the way, the article you referenced is by Dr. Jim Kakalios, author of "The Physics of Superheroes" and a friend of APlusPhysics and the Physics in Action Podcast. He was actually our first podcast guest. Check out his interview in the following episodes, where he was interviewed by an IHS student!

Awesome post Relahi... you just summarized an entire lesson I was planning on giving about rainbows and refraction. Well done!
-
Hmmm... is it controversial, or a misconception? For another great look at this, check out the video recently submitted to the site: Brainiac: Do Heavy Objects Fall Faster Than Light Objects

Physics of shopping -- just when I thought I would never again be amazed! Hope you can get some
-
Now I'm impressed... a differential equation related to simple harmonic motion and running. Who'd a thunk it?
-
Great blog post -- I'd have never thought to put Zumba and physics together, but it works!
-
Great blog post! Another effect could be air resistance... we neglect air resistance in most of our analyses (and know that a projectile travels a maximum range on even ground when launched at 45 degrees in the absence of air resistance). In the real world, however, 45 degrees isn't always optimal due to the effect of drag forces such as air.

Physics of the artist... terrific! A whole new way to think about how we look at drawings and paintings. And as Yogi Berra once said, "You can observe a lot just by watching!"
-
Wow, who knew... tons of physics in horseback riding too!
-
Great blog post, and I learned something new about nordic skiing. Always take good care of your skis, and hopefully they'll take care of you!

You're right, tons of physics in volleyball. As to the referee question, what happens when teams switch sides of the court?

Learning to read a technical textbook is a difficult thing to do (and an important skill). Like you, I often focus on the problems, but usually start out by:
- attempting to outline the chapter
- highlighting important formulas/relationships
- attempting the problems myself, and using the text as a "guide" if I get stuck
- finally, attempt to create and solve my own problems
Once you have this skill down, you'll be miles ahead of the competition when it comes to teaching yourself, something you'll be doing for the rest of your life as an engineer!

Glad to hear you were able to get that coathanger bent and see the continuous shape that the solenoid makes with the soap bubbles!

Because cats have less mass, they fall slower, and they spread out their legs while falling, which distributes their mass and increases their air resistance.
Do objects with less mass fall slower, or is this an effect of air resistance?
-
Terrific first blog post! For more on cats and their ability to land on their feet, check out the slow motion analysis attached!
Can you really swing over the bar?
