Velocity-time graphs show how the velocity (or speed) of a moving object changes with time. These graphs also show if the object is moving at a constant speed or accelerating, decelerating, or still.

Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." What, then, happens to a body ...

A tool called AI-Newton can derive scientific laws from raw data, but is some way from developing human-like reasoning.

It is not only moving objects whose speed can vary. The speed of the wind and the speed of sound also vary. A typical value for the speed of sound in air is about 330 m/s.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This helps, sort of, but as more numbers get thrown around, it can get ...
