[Jarrett] recently stumbled upon a class of drawing algorithms called force-directed graphs, which artificially apply forces to the elements. The final graph is then generated by applying the laws of ...

Find the minimum applied force for equilibrium on a frictional incline. This short breaks down the free-body diagram, force components, and friction conditions to show how equilibrium is achieved with ...

Scientists have developed a new atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique that can measure the three-dimensional force fields of atoms. In their technique, the precisely controlled tip of a mechanical ...

Figure 1: Schematic of the 3D force detection method on a Ge(001)-c(4 × 2) surface using bimodal AFM. Figure 2: Force component maps and force vector distributions above Ge(001) dimers. Figure 3: ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...
