Article
In everyday language, “zero” and “nothing” are generally synonyms if not interchangeable. In physics, however, these two terms are quite distinct. Zero often refers to a number and nothing often refers to the vacuum state. Furthermore, the numbe[...]
Article
The theory of the Big Bang is accepted nearly universally among the scientific community. However, there is a small cadre of individuals who dispute this consensus and they point to a handful of datums that don’t fit into the picture. One such d[...]
Article
Popular accounts of exciting discoveries often draw students to physics and astronomy, but at the introductory level it is challenging to connect with these in a meaningful way. The use of real astronomical data in the classroom can help bridge [...]
Article
As a result of the spread of COVID-19 during spring 2020, many colleges and universities across the U.S., and beyond, were compelled to move entirely to remote, online instruction, or shut down. Due to the rapidity of this transition, instructor[...]

Demonstration to Show Resonant Oscillations of a Simple Pendulum Coupled to a Mass-Spring Oscillator
Resonance is a widely observed physical phenomenon, occurring when an oscillator experiences a driving force whose frequency closely matches one of its own natural frequencies. Due to its broad applicability in physics, resonance is a familiar t[...]
Article
During elementary physics courses, many examples in mechanics are studied without considering air resistance effects. We can mention, for example, projectile motion and free fall, among many others. Only brief studies of such systems in classica[...]
Article
Over the past several years, we have contributed articles to TPT that focus on a forensics-style reexamination of significant historical events. The purpose of these articles is to afford students the opportunity to apply basic principles of phy[...]
Article
As part of a public education outreach effort, an introduction to the health effects of ionizing radiation and the field of medical physics was developed by a clinical medical physicist. The presentation was delivered to a broad public audience [...]
Article
Science labs should promote reasoning that resembles the work that scientists do. However, this is often not the case. We present a lab in which students strive to find out which of two models best describes a physics experiment. The quantificat[...]
Article
Among the student ideas about forces discussed in the literature, perhaps the most commonly reported is the notion of an impetus force, or the “belief that there is a force inside a moving object that keeps it going and causes it to have some sp[...]
Article
This article presents some simple calculations related to the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which is being studied at CERN as a potential future replacement for the world’s largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The aim[...]
Article
All students deserve access to effective, equitable physics education. Postsecondary faculty have been shown to be unprepared to support students with disabilities in their classes, and popular, research-based introductory physics curricula do n[...]
Article
The photoelectric effect consists of electrons emerging from the region near the inner surface of a metallic solid toward the outside vacuum, when the metal surface is illuminated. The effect depends on the frequency of the light waves and the p[...]
Article
Students in the physical sciences—physics and chemistry—often take multiple-choice exams for introductory courses. Some students will write a lot on their exams, while others write very little. Does the student doing more scratch work on their e[...]
Article
This study aims to showcase an experiment for introductory physics students that quantitatively describes the relationship between gas pressure, volume, and temperature. For this purpose, an Arduino Uno Microcontroller and BMP180 pressure sensor[...]
Article
Many physics teachers have experienced the challenges of implementing the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in their high school curricula. These standards, based upon the Framework for K-12 Science Education, were intended to shift scien[...]
Article
An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical work and an electric generator converts mechanical work into electrical energy. The symmetry between the motor and generator naturally leads to questions about creating a perpetual mot[...]
Article
Many high school and first-year university courses include discussion of the magnetic effect of currents. Frequently discussed textbook examples include long, straight wires, circular current loops, and solenoids, partly because these examples a[...]
Article
Among the serious experimental uses given to smartphones in physics, the use of integrated sensors, video analysis, and mixed uses as simultaneous material and instruments stand out for their frequency. Regarding the use of integrated sensors, t[...]
Article
Phosphorescence is always an engaging demonstration. A high-energy photon source, such as a violet laser or UV black light, shines on a phosphor (screen, mineral, toy, etc.) and then the light is reemitted slowly at a color of lower energy. We n[...]
