Every week, the readers of our space newsletter, The Airlock, send in their questions for space reporter Neel V. Patel to answer. This week: how to produce artificial Earth-like gravity through ...

I am going to need to use this iPhone to measure the acceleration. However, I need to check this thing and see how accurate it will be. Experiment time. I know someone must have a nice review of ...

In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in three dimensions—a ...

\(\Delta v\) (pronounced 'delta v' is the change in speed of the object. Acceleration is measured in metres per second per second or metres per second squared \(m\, s^{-2}\). A sprinter starting at ...

Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration. This can be investigated using a set-up like this one. You can use this set-up to investigate how changing two separate factors, ...
