Gravity is a fundamental force of nature; it is an attractive force between any objects that have mass. The strength of gravity between everyday objects, such as a desk and a chair, is extremely small ...

You see this all the time in textbooks: This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational ...

AN absolute determination of the acceleration due to gravity at a site in the National Physical Laboratory has recently been completed. It is the first to be made by timing the symmetrical up-and-down ...

According to legend, Galileo dropped weights off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, showing that gravity causes objects of different masses to fall with the same acceleration. In recent years, researchers ...

Engineers from Caltech have discovered that Leonardo da Vinci’s understanding of gravity—though not wholly accurate—was centuries ahead of his time. In an article published in the journal Leonardo, ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...
