- Physics Forums: Science Discussion, Homework Help, Articles
Physics Forums aims to provide a community for students, scientists, educators or hobbyists to learn and discuss science as it is currently generally understood and practiced by the professional scientific community Our main focus is physics, but we also cater to other STEM fields including engineering, chemistry, biology, mathematics, etc
- Muons’ magnetism matches theory, easing an enduring physics conundrum
Senior physics writer Emily Conover has a Ph D in physics from the University of Chicago She is a two-time winner of the D C Science Writers’ Association Newsbrief award and a winner of the
- Quantum mechanics was born 100 years ago. Physicists are celebrating
A century ago, science went quantum To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of
- Learn the Basics of Dimensional Analysis - Physics Forums
In physics, the physical dimension of a quantity refers to the type of units that must be used to describe it The basic construction blocks of dimensional analysis are the so-called base dimensions, this is a set of physical dimensions, which to an extent is a matter of convention, that can be used to build the physical dimension of any quantity
- How does mg = ma follow from F=ma? - Physics Forums
Newton's 2nd law states that the net force on an object must equal ma In the special case where the only force on an object is gravity, which equals mg, then the net force is just mg
- As quantum mechanics turns 100, a new revolution is under way
One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics There
- Understanding Superposition Physically and Mathematically - Physics Forums
Superposition is a fundamental concept in physics and mathematics, particularly in the fields of wave theory and quantum mechanics It describes how multiple wave-like phenomena can combine or interact with each other In physics, superposition can be summarized as follows:
