Like most real-world problems, physics can get very complicated. When a physicist considers the fate of this falling cockroach, their first step is to change the problem into something simpler. It's ...

James Clerk Maxwell conducted some of the first documented studies of free-falling objects during the mid-1800s, when the physicist analyzed the tumbling motion of a freely falling plate. But much ...

It’s been demonstrated since the 1500s that, when falling toward a certain body, objects fall at the same rate. Everyone from Galileo in Pisa to David Scott on the moon demonstrated that. But what if ...
