Earlier, we saw that the work done by friction on a particle sliding on a rough surface is negative, causing a loss in total mechanical energy as the particle slides. Here, we will address the ...
You've got the golden armadillo? Quick, go before the dragon catches you! It could be here any minute – why aren’t you moving faster? Friction? You mean the force between the surface of the road and ...
In a recent stunt, a Ford crew hitched an all-electric F-150 pickup truck to a freight train filled with 42 more F-150s. Then a driver hit the throttle, and the pickup truck towed the 1.3 ...
To reawaken our animal selves, we need greater sensory engagement in life. In the realms of design, let’s push for natural materials in their real states, not coaxed into performing more smoothly or ...
Figure 1: MD simulations showing the nonlinear, oscillatory relationship between the shear stress τ and flow velocity v. Using massive crowd-sourced computing power provided by volunteers contributing ...
