I love using seemingly random data to figure out stuff I wouldn't otherwise know. You can do this with all kinds of things, but in this example, I use video that I recorded from an airplane to figure ...

Cross-flow turbines, also known as vertical-axis turbines, are attractive for power generation from wind and water currents. Some cross-flow turbine designs optimize unsteady fluid forces and maximize ...

Understand rotational motion in a clear, intuitive way with a lesson designed to stick with you forever. This video breaks ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

Gymnastics is an extremely difficult sport, but some people make it look easy. Step forward Simone Biles, who hit a Yurchenko double pike—considered the “hardest vault in the world”—during the ...

Learn how angular velocity works in a circular swing! This simple explanation breaks down the physics so anyone can understand rotational motion, speed, and how swings move in a circle. #PhysicsBasics ...
