The speed of light is not just constant, it's also invariant. Meaning that if you were to travel alongside a beam of light, it would...

That relation only holds if, when the force is removed, the wire returns to it's former length. If you apply enough force the wire will...

Only in the limiting case where ##m_1## is zero. In other words, you have an ideal pulley and you hang two objects such that the mass...

Discovery approaches are just one tool available in a tool box. A good instructor will make lesson-specific choices based on experience...

I don't know what you mean by "direct instruction". Do you mean the lecture method? And I don't see how Cognitive Load Theory (CLT)...

You may not have a problem with it, but the research reaches a different conclusion. Moreover, other methods have been shown to produce...

I think he finds her attractive and he cannot compete with that.

Me, either. It's the old chalk-and-talk teaching method. I refer to it as the low-energy state of teaching. Completely devoid of any...

You should and in my opinion must include lots of demonstrations. Look for and attend as many Physics Magic Shows or the like as you can...

You mean energy is being transferred for a period of time equal to 10 000 seconds. That doesn't describe the amount of energy...

No. One of the great unifications in physics was the discovery that there is an equivalence between mechanical and thermal energy...

Yes, but the author's claim seems to imply that it's something that applies only to quantum mechanics: When in fact it's not unique to...

A physicist was attending a conference in a large venue that happened to also be holding an economics conference. One morning the...

That's true for the basic principles of every physical theory. Look at it this way. A proof starts with assumptions and uses deductive...
