Gravity and Other Forces: Understanding the Invisible Architects of Motion

From the moment we wake up and feel our feet touch the ground, to the instant a plane cuts through the sky or a leaf drifts gently to the earth, we are surrounded by forces that shape our physical world. These forces are often invisible, yet they govern every movement, interaction, and transformation in our […]

Newton’s Second and Third Laws of Motion: Understanding How Forces Shape Our World

When you kick a ball, ride a bike, or watch a rocket launch into space, you are witnessing the laws of motion at work. In our everyday lives, motion often feels so natural that we don’t stop to question what’s happening behind the scenes. But centuries ago, Sir Isaac Newton asked those very questions and […]

Understanding Motion: How the Universe Moves Around Us

Why does a soccer ball roll across the grass when kicked? Why does a car slow to a stop when the driver steps on the brakes? And why do satellites continue circling the Earth without falling down? At first glance, these everyday observations might feel obvious. Objects move, and sometimes they stop. But behind these […]

What is Physics? The Scientific Method and Measurement

Physics is often described as the fundamental science. It provides the foundations upon which chemistry, biology, engineering, astronomy, and even modern medicine are built. When we ask questions such as, Why do balls fall when thrown? Why do cars stop when brakes are applied? Why do planets orbit the sun?—we are, knowingly or not, asking […]
