Cats falling from super-high heights have a greater chance of survival than low-rise falls. That depends on two things: air resistance and apparent weight.

Falling objects in orbit show Einstein was right — again An experiment provides the most precise confirmation yet of a key tenet of general relativity ...

In the absence of air resistance, an object falling near the surface of the Earth should trace out a parabola, with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s 2 downward.

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to ...

Now, how is a pulse of light sent by someone falling into a black hole different from the gravitational waves emitted during a merger?

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Thus, falling from high floors should have more unpleasant consequences than from low floors. But this way of thinking about the feline free-fall ignores air resistance.

Test out some of Galileo's famous experiments with falling objects, projectiles, inclined planes, and pendulums.

A new study investigated whether the perceived acceleration of an object is influenced by its direction. Findings showed a bias in the perceived acceleration of falling objects.

The surprisingly complicated physics of why cats always land on their feet Ars chats with physicist Greg Gbur about his book, Falling Felines and Fundamental Physics ...
