      A Supermassive Lens On The Constants Of Nature

      Nov 25, 2020

      The 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics went to three researchers who confirmed that Einstein’s general relativity predicts black holes, and established that the center of our own galaxy houses a supermassive black hole with the equivalent of 4 million suns

      E=mc2 Einstein’s Equation Explained

      Oct 7, 2021

      Einstein’s investigation of the way that mass increases as an object attempts to accelerate near the speed of light revealed this simple but elegant equation that lies at the heart of all modern physics. Here, E is a body’s energy content, m its mass

      Is The Law Of Conservation Of Energy Cancelled?

      Dec 12, 2019

      Physics is often baffling, but one principle seems rock-solid: the law of conservation of energy. The world contains this thing called “energy” whose amount never changes. It can change its form or go from one body to another, but its total amount re

      PHYSICS

      WHAT IS PHYSICS ALL ABOUT?

      Physics seeks to understand the natural phenomena that occur in our universe; a description of a natural phenomenon uses many specific terms, definitions and mathematical equations Solving Problems in Physics In physics, we use the SI units (International System) for data and calculations

      Other physical quantities are derived from these basic units: Prefixes denote fractions or multiples of units; many variable symbols are Greek letters Math Skills: Many physical concepts are only understood with the use of algebra, statistics, trigonometry and calculus

      PHYSICS

      CLASSICAL MECHANICS

       Classical or Newtonian Mechanics  The position of a body is given by an equation of motion with position, velocity and acceleration as variables; mass is the measure of the amount of matter; the standard unit for mass is kg, 1 kg = 1000 g.; inertia is a property of matter, and as such, it occupies space

      Motion along a straight line is called rectilinear; the equation of motion describes the position of the particle and velocity for elapsed time, t

      Velocity (v): The rate of change of the displacement (s) with time (t):

      Acceleration (a): The rate of change of the velocity with time:

      ; a & v are vectors, with magnitude and direction

      Speed is the absolute value of the velocity; scalar with the same units as velocity

      Equations of Motion for One Dimension (1-D) Equations of motion describe the future position (x) and velocity (v) of a body in terms of the initial velocity (vi), position (x0) and acceleration (a)

      For constant acceleration, the position is related to the time and acceleration by the following equation of motion: x(t) = x0 + vit + ½ a t²

      For constant acceleration,
