What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.

There are many different processes and phenomena that emit electromagnetic radiation. Humans have taken advantage of many of these processes to develop technologies that use electromagnetic radiation.

Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?

This online article delves into our the sun and planets were formed.

Basics of gravity and the Law of Universal Gravitation.

These four short online lessons will cover the following:

• The planets of the solar system
• Planet orbits in the solar system
• Gravity in the solar system
• Inner vs outer planets

The beauty of a coral reef, the warm radiance of sunshine, the sting of sunburn, the X-ray revealing a broken bone, even microwave popcorn—all are brought to us by electromagnetic waves. The list of the various types of electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio transmission waves to nuclear gamma-ray (γ-ray) emissions, is interesting in itself.

Even more intriguing is that all of these different phenomena are manifestations of the same thing—electromagnetic waves (see Figure 15.1). What are electromagnetic waves? How are they created, and how do they travel? How can we understand their widely varying properties? What is the relationship between electric and magnetic effects? These and other questions will be explored.

This unit is about how things move along a straight line or, more scientifically, how things move in one dimension. Examples of this would be the movement (motion) of cars along a straight road or of trains along straight railway tracks.

Photoelectric materials emit electrons when they absorb light of a high-enough frequency.
