Admit it, you’ve always wanted answers to burning questions like:
- How does temperature affect the sound of a flute?
- If a truck full of parrots hits a bump in the road and all the parrots begin flying around inside the truck, does the truck’s weight stay the same or not?
- Why is it easy to stay on a bike while moving, but impossible once it stops?
With the launch of APS Physics Central (http://www.physicscentral.org/), you can ask the experts as well as get information on a wide variety of topics in physics. This is a site geared towards middle and high school students to get them excited and engaged in the world of physics as well as learn about how physics relates to their everyday life (but the curious grown up will fit in too!)
Find experiments to try at home, view photo galleries of physics images, and read the “buzz blog”.
