The First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law is energy bookkeeping for heat and work, proving that you can never get something for nothing in…
Classical Mechanics
Conservation of Momentum
When no outside force interferes, the total momentum of a system stays locked in place, which is why rockets fly…

What Is Energy?
Energy is the universal currency that lets one thing change another, never created or destroyed but endlessly traded between motion,…
Classical Mechanics
Newton’s Second Law: F = ma
The most famous equation in mechanics ties force, mass, and acceleration into a single rule that predicts how every push…
