The weather throughout most of spring and into early summer in central Pennsylvania can be summed up in one word: wet. “We ...

Nobody really knows what the cosmological constant is exactly, but it is required in cosmological equations in order to reconcile theory with our observations of the universe.

A physics video claims rubber bands don't act like springs. But is that true? Dot Physics blogger Rhett Allain tests the notion with a few custom contraptions.

The flimsy spring in your retractable pen might have spring constant of just 1 newton per meter, while the much stiffer springs on your car might be 200,000.

The spring constant of a spring can be found by carrying out an experiment. The unloaded length of a spring is measured. Slotted masses are added to the spring. Record each stretching force in N ...

The spring constant The spring constant, k, is different for different objects and materials. It is found by carrying out an experiment. For example, the unloaded length of a spring is measured.
