A @pascoscientific Smart Cart launches a ball vertically while moving at constant speed… Yet the ball lands straight back in the cart. In the blog we explore why?

SHM on a spring — but with real data. @pascoscientific sensors capturing x, v, a and F and you can literally see the phase differences:
v is ¼ cycle ahead of x a (and F) are ½ cycle opposite x

Resistivity = how “stubborn” a material is about carrying current.Same wire, longer length → higher R.Same wire, thicker → lower R.Try it with a slide wire + meter rule.

@pascoscientific Light Sensor day in the lab. It’s amazing how quickly “that looks brighter” becomes proper physics when students can measure illuminance in real time.

230 V isn’t actually 230 V.
The UK mains peaks at ±325 V!
RMS voltage explains why.
If you're studying A-Level Physics, this is a must-understand topic.

Polarisation with light can feel like magic. Polarisation with microwaves feels obvious.
Rotating a microwave polariser from @lascells and it clicks.

Why don’t astronomers use lenses anymore?
In AQA A-Level Astrophysics, telescope design matters as much as what you observe. Mirrors beat lenses.

📚 Learn key definitions
Be ready to clearly define terms, such as what an acceleration of 3 m/s² actually means.
💡 Small strategies = big confidence in the exam hall. You’ve got this!
