Inverted bowl physics: when does the ice block detach? This video explores the forces at play, including gravity and normal force, to determine the exact condition under which the ice block loses ...

Abstract: Delamination of rigid objects from an elastic substrate with finite thickness is a fundamental problem underlying applications such as marine fouling release coatings or anti-icing coatings.

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...
