    Testing Have technologies that made our lives easier necessarily made our lives better?

    SAT writing is bull. I got a 12 on the essay and my writing is crap. A friend of mine writes 10x better than me and he got a 11. Don't waste your time and go study something useful.

    Work Definition: Force x Distance vs. Force x Displacement

    Hi I always thought work was defined as the dot product of the force and displacement vectors. W = F parallel to D However, my physics teacher told me that it's force x DISTANCE. Does that mean that whenever someone lifts a weight and brings it back down is actually doing work...

    Future of Physics: Exploring Research & Potential

    I love physics more than any other science because it is so fundamental and true. However, it seems as though much of physics has already been discovered and all that remains is to apply those principles in engineering and such. On the other hand, I can see a lot of potential in biology as there...
