The equation F = ma is one of the most important in physics. Yet we have so far not explained how to get a quantitative operational definition of either mass or force. Somehow, from this one ...

Physicists report that electrons in semiconductor crystals have a negative inertial mass when strongly accelerated in an electric field. Physicists of the Max Born Institute in Berlin report in the ...

No audio available for this content. A U.S. Secretary of Defense once predicted that navigation would eventually be based on inertial devices that were set at the factory, and then always knew where ...

Modern electronic technology has provided us with a unique selection of dedicated high-tech instrumentation designed to monitor and evaluate the performance of our cars. Progressive hot rodders who ...

OVER THE YEARS, many philosophers tried to describe the phenomenon of inertia but it was Newton, in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, who unified the states of rest and movement in his ...

Dr. Mike McCulloch, Lecturer in Geomatics, had created a model for inertia called: Modified inertia by a Hubble-scale Casimir effect (MiHsC) or quantized inertia. Nextbigfuture covered it a few months ...

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 ...

Imagine yourself riding in a new Level 5 autonomous vehicle (AV). It could be a car, a truck or a robo-taxi. By using an array of perception sensors combined with continually updated digital maps and ...
