The fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and more

Les forces fondamentales : gravité, électromagnétisme et plus

IN BRIEF Four fundamental forces: gravitational force, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force. Gravity: attraction of all masses, the weakest force. Electromagnetism: framework force of matter and responsible for interactions between electric charges. Strong nuclear force: holds protons and neutrons bound in the atomic nucleus. Weak nuclear force: involved in certain forms of … Read more

Newton’s Laws: Explanation and Practical Applications

Les lois de Newton : explication et applications pratiques

IN BRIEF First law: Principle of inertia, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion retains its velocity. Second law: Relationship between force, mass, and acceleration (F = ma). Third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s laws are the foundations of classical mechanics. Applications: used … Read more
