Learn physics using videos, articles, and NGSS-aligned practice exercises. Explore the fundamentals of motion and forces, non-contact interactions, energy, and waves.

Here you'll review some of the basics of physics and chemistry, including mechanics, optics, electricity and magnetism, periodicity, and chemical equations, as you prepare to show your …

Let's solve some problems to better understand the behavior of forces that act on objects, and their effects on motion. In the process, we will clear some common misconceptions.

They form a right triangle, with the total velocity vector as the hypotenuse. The two components add tip-to-tail to give the total vector. Resolving a vector into perpendicular components allows …
