Since light is an effect of gravity , and gravity creates and regulates escape volocity , is'nt gravity the greatest force and the basis of all natural forces ?

Dark matter and dark energy has the exact same properties as a magnate...with negative and positive ( push and pull ) effects. Could'nt dark matter and dark energy be an effect of mass , or rather... more

Light as a Wave

We know the light is a form of a wave. We also know wave requires a medium for its propagation. If the light is a form of a wave, then how does it travel in a vacuum, which is not a medium?

Physics Kinematics

While solving kinematics problem for the motion of an object, a student obtained the following result: a = k –bv, where, a is acceleration, v is speed and k and b are positive constant. Given that... more

When a ball is tossed straight up, does it experience momentary equilibrium at top of its path?

This question has been asked many times all over the Internet and answers can be found on places such as yahoo and ask.com, but I'm not satisfied with those answers and I don't trust the validity... more

Why don't we consider jerk in physics classes?

When I got more into physics, I started asking myself if just like acceleration represents the growth of speed, something else could also represent the growth of acceleration itself. And it came... more

Sandstone getting soaked with water?

I have seen someone putting a sandstone in water. With only about 10% of the stone sitting in the water. One could see the stone getting soaked with water. So there must be a force, which lets the... more

Doesn't a box holding a vacuum weigh the same as a box full of air?

This was recently brought up, and I haven't been able to conclude a solid answer. Let's say we have two identical boxes (`A` and `B`) on Earth, both capable of holding a vacuum and withstanding 1... more

If gravity isn't a force, then how are forces balanced in the real world?

Consider a simple situation like this- an object is sitting on a table. In classical mechanics, we say that the net force on the object is zero because gravity (treated as a force) and normal... more
