I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

This is an acceleration physics test WITH ANSWERS, which is 4 pages long, with a 2 page the answer key. There are 10 multiple choice questions and 4 short answer questions (with multiple parts). This ...

This is an acceleration physics quiz WITH ANSWERS, which is 3 pages long including the answer key. There are 2 short answer questions (with parts a-d). This motion physics quiz takes students ...

I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

Liquid droplets or soft solid objects can be catapulted with more than twice the energy of rigid projectiles, according to physicists in France. They say that this “super propulsion” relies on ...

Shock network. A projectile (dark semicircle) generates chains of force in a two-dimensional granular material as the grains absorb the energy of impact. High-speed video (below) shows that energy is ...

(Phys.org)—When it comes to flying projectiles, the badminton shuttlecock or "birdie" is unusual in that it flips on impact with a racket so that it always flies cork-first. This flipping motion ...
