on bearing 055 (55º East of North). The term acceleration can refer to a scalar acceleration or an acceleration vector. So far, we have only met scalar acceleration, eg \(5 m\,s^{-2}\).

Vector quantities have both a magnitude and ... Looking for extra resources to supercharge your physics lessons? In this series of short explainer films, Professor Brian Cox dives deep and ...

THE spinning electron of Uhlenbeck and l Goudsmit has brilliantly filled up a serious gap in atomic physics, but, while we cannot withhold our admiration from its successes, it is only fair to ...

The new theory also incorporates a G-field, or gravitational field. G-fields are vector fields—which means they have both magnitude and direction—that explain how space is influenced by an object.

A fundamental goal of physics is to explain the broadest range of phenomena with the fewest underlying principles. Remarkably ...
