Let's file this post under "mistakes that Rhett made that he doesn't want to make again." If I don't write it down, I won't learn from my mistakes. How about I start this with the following problem.

The Work Energy Principle is one of the big ideas in introductory physics courses. It's so big that the textbook presentation can get a little confusing - but it doesn't have to be that way. I haven't ...

JONNY NELSON: Energy. There are lots of different types and lots of different ways of storing it. Chemical energy in a sparkler, elastic potential energy that fires a toy into the air, and many, many ...

In this episode, Ellie Hurer and James Stewart explore kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and elastic potential energy. They then share the key equations you need to calculate them.

A new crew of potential ripples in spacetime has just debuted — emphasis on the word “potential.” By loosening the criteria for what qualifies as evidence for gravitational waves, physicists ...

Banner image: A pulsar ejecting a plume of energy. (Credit: NASA/HST/ASU/J. Hester et al.) Scientists have used a “galaxy-sized” space observatory to find possible hints of a unique signal from ...

Energy Vault, maker of the EVx gravitational energy storage tower, has secured $100 million in series C funding. The investment was led by Prime Movers Lab, with additional participation from SoftBank ...

Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy: We all know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it changes its forms. Similarly, kinetic energy also transforms from one form to another. The motion ...
