In this chapter, we’ll explore how to calculate the spring constant of a block on an incline! 🧲 Learn the step-by-step process to solve this problem and apply your knowledge of forces, friction, and ...

Forces may change the shape of an object. An elastic object, such as a spring, stores elastic potential energy when stretched or squashed. The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional ...

I see this problem all the time. The idea that if you apply a constant force on an object, it should move at a constant speed. Really, this is what Aristotle would say, right? There are two course ...

If you are designing a product that requires any sort of smart-motion precision, spring parts that apply constant force or constant resistance are key mechanical design elements to consider. Two of ...

Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." What, then, happens to a body ...

You're sitting in physics class, working on a traditional problem involving forces and acceleration, when you start to wonder where these terms even came from. Were they just dreamed up to bring ...
