And Hoek admits the reinterpretation hasn't and won't change physics. But carefully inspecting ... been spilt on the question what the law of inertia is really for," explains Hoek, who was puzzled ...

The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the ...

All are familiar with one of the many definitions given in the works on physics, of the term Vis Inertia— a want of power in a body to move itself when at rest or to come to rest when in motion.

Basic physics quickly gets messy in an irregular world, scientists discover in new research on the old problem of a ball ...

In AIP Advances, researchers share a model that identifies the optimal location for bowling ball placement. Employing a system of six differential equations derived from Euler’s equations for a ...
