Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

Speedy Spinning Spheres! Using spheres, cylinders, and straws, the Crew and Dr. Rob learn about inertia, velocity, and conservation of energy due to angular momentum. STEM Challenge: Angular Momentum ...

Diving is among the most popular spectator events in the Olympics, a graceful sport that combines elements of gymnastics and dancing. It’s also an excellent example of physics in action. Let’s look at ...

Every dazzling jump on the ice—like Yuzuru Hanyu's quadruple Lutz at the 2017 Grand Prix of Figure Skating in Moscow, Russia—requires a mastery of balance, rotational speed and angular momentum. Aflo ...

Since energy is conserved (the gravitational force is conservative), we can use the work/energy equation to determine the speed of the satellite as a function of the distance R from O to P. Since the ...
