Force-Time Graph
In this video Paul Andersen explains hot the force-time graph can be used to determine the impulse of an object. Since the impulse and the change in momentum are equivalent the graph can also be used to determine the change in momentum...

Mass and Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how mass can be converted to energy and energy can be converted to mass. The equation E=mc2 can be used to determine the amount of energy released from nuclear processes.

The Higgs Mechanism Explained
Quantum Field Theory is generally accepted as an accurate description of the subatomic universe. However until recently this theory had one giant hole in it. The particles it describes had no mass!

Bowled Over
So, variables. There are lots of them when trying to test an idea. The trick is to isolate one variable at a time to get reliable results every time. But, how do we do that? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us how to...

5 Baffling Mysteries About the Universe
At the beginning of the 20th century, many scientists thought that we had learned all there was to know about physics. The problem is, the better we get at measuring things and building models of our universe, the more we discover that...

TED-Ed: Why do buildings fall in earthquakes? - Vicki V. May
Earthquakes have always been a terrifying phenomenon, and they've become more deadly as our cities have grown - with collapsing buildings posing one of the largest risks. But why do buildings collapse in an earthquake? And how can it be...

Inertial Mass
In this video Paul Andersen explains how inertial mass is defined and measured. When a force is applied to an object or a system it will accelerate. Using Newton's Second Law of Motion (F=ma) you can calculate the inertial mass.
