This Dam Acts Like a Water Cannon. Let’s Do Some Physics!
Like a giant bucket with a hole, the Funil Hydropower Plant sprays out an enormous jet of water. We can use its speed to calculate the depth of the reservoir. ..

Mo Pinel spent a career reshaping the ball’s inner core to harness the power of physics. He revolutionized the sport—and spared no critics along the way. ..
The calculations work even in cases where it shouldn’t, like when the black holes are close in size. ..
There’s the physics textbook way, and there’s the human way. ..
Anna Kendrick’s rotating spacecraft cleverly uses cables and a counterweight to make artificial gravity. But scaling them would be harder than it looks ..
During a pregame warmup, Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper batted a line drive right into a ball zooming in from the outfield. It's not impossible, but it's ..
An enigmatic connection between the forces of nature is allowing physicists to explore the quantum side of gravity. ..
May the 4th be with you! If you're hitching a ride on the Millennium Falcon today, you should know a little bit about the bumpy physics of acceleration. ..
They twist and turn on their way to Earth, which has made it nearly impossible to identify the colossal monsters that create them. ..
Sure, you could just crank up the speed and let chance have its way. But there's also a reason why some cars go fast and others flip over the sidewall. ..
