Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at constant velocity, unless acted on by a …
Newton's second law of motion applies to bodies moving under the same acceleration. For example, when a baggage tractor pulls luggage carts, each cart …
When a body is in motion, it encounters resistance because the body interacts with its surroundings. This resistance is known as friction, a common yet …
One of the simpler characteristics of sliding friction is that it is parallel to the contact surfaces between systems, and is always in a direction that …
Suppose a car moves on flat ground and turns to the left. The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the …
An interesting force in everyday life is the force of drag on an object when it is moving in a fluid. Like friction, the drag force always opposes the …
An experimental study is performed to measure the terminal settling velocities of spherical particles in surfactant based shear thinning viscoelastic …
Two different experimental methods for determining the threshold of particle motion as a function of geometrical properties of the bed from laminar to …
We demonstrate a method for increasing the tuning ability of a standing surface acoustic wave (SSAW) for microparticles manipulation in a lab-on-a-chip …
