PODCAST: Cheetah Physics
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
This week on the Physics Central Podcast I'm talking about cheetahs, which have long been admired as the fastest land animals on Earth. But new research shows that speed isn't the big cat's secret to great hunting; it's acceleration. What's the differenc... more

Cheetah Physics
June 19, 2013
A new study shows that while cheetahs are still the fastest land animal on Earth, it's not their speed that makes the great hunters; it's their acceleration. What's the difference? For that we turn to physics.

Featured Topic

Thermodynamics & Heat
When your coffee or hot chocolate cools before you get to drink it, is because of thermodynamics, the study of energy, work, and heat often at the molecular and atomic level. This section explores the relationship between energy, work, and heat and how it impacts scientific studies and everyday life.
