A-LIGNing Perspectives: Forces and Energy

What actually happens to an object at rest when a force acts on it? Other than the fact that it begins to move, it now has energy. Explore the many applications of the concepts of forces and energy throughout our lives.

A-LIGNing Perspectives: Newton’s Laws

When considered outside of their common use in physics, Newton’s three laws of motion become malleable enough to apply to our everyday lives. More specifically, the effects of our decisions, our words, and events can be simplified by comparing them to forces.

No curves, no breaks, just a pure, continuous path that goes on forever. In many ways, the relationships we form, the paths we take, and the ways we change over time can all be described with the same clarity and structure as lines and planes.

A-LIGNing Perspectives: The Laws of Life and Nature

In both life and nature, patterns emerge. They exist everywhere, constantly evolving and intertwining, often going unnoticed. And perhaps unexpectedly, most if not all of these patterns can be understood from math and physics.
