"Science of NFL Football" is a 10-part video series funded by the National Science Foundation and produced in partnership with the National Football League. In this segment, NBC's Lester Holt breaks down Isaac Newton's Third Law of...

Review of the topics of Linear Momentum and Impulse covered in the AP Physics 1 curriculum.

Impulse and Momentum summary

The 52nd Presidential election in American history took place on November 3, 1992. (clip of Bush- read my lips, no new taxes) Yeah, George H.W. Bush had alienated most conservatives by straight up breaking that pledge. I mean, man, he...

A 66.0 g ball is launched from a stationary Nerd-A-Pult on wheels. The total mass of the Nerd-A-Pult on wheels is 1,791 g. If the ball moves with a velocity of -351 i + 179 j cm/s right after launching, what is the velocity of the...

When you take a shot on a pool table or tackle someone in a football game, you're participating in a collision. But the two events we just mentioned are totally different kinds of collisions! We have to learn the varieties and what they...

For weeks Nigerians have been protesting against SARS, a brutal police unit known for corruption, unlawful murder and torture. In this video we explain the history of Nigeria's police, what the protestors are hoping to achieve and what...

An important review highlighting differences between the equations for Conservation of Momentum, Impact Force and Impulse.

In our study of physics, we have become aware of four forces, and the fields that mediate them. Once we got deep into quantum theory, we started to realize that these forces are not mediated by fields at all, but rather by quanta. That's...

Everyone and their mom knows about E = mc^2, it's the most famous equation in science, and there are plenty of posters you can buy for your dorm room with Einstein's face and this equation floating mysteriously around his head. But what...

If you’re learning English conversation an important part of your studies should be idioms. I’ll teach you lots of idioms about the weather! Learning English conversation happens best within conversation with a native speaker. You’ll...

Lesson 13 (Collisions) of Dianna's Intro Physics Class on Physics Girl. Never taken physics before? Want to learn the basics of physics? Need an AP Physics 1 review before the exam? This course is for you! Exercises in this video: 1. Are...

Roger Mavity founded his own advertising agency, Mavity Gilmore Jaume, in 1981. After selling the business in 1991, he became Chief Executive of Granada Group's leisure division, then Chairman of Citigate, and then Chief Executive of the...

If there are no external forces acting on the system then conservation of linear momentum applies

Yes, water stays in the bucket. Would you like to know why? Watch the video and learn!

This video discusses the concept of planetary movement or orbit. The video also touches on the different shapes of orbits, the forces of gravity that keep objects in orbit, and the balance between momentum and gravity that is necessary...

Learn about Elastic, Inelastic and Perfectly Inelastic collisions via a demonstration

A discussion of the design trade-offs of speed, cost, and quality.

In this video we will look at how to calculate momentum, use the idea of momentum to describe the movement of objects and use the law of the conservation of momentum to describe momentum in elastic collisions. First, try this question: A...

This is a lecture presentation on the concept of a vector. The video starts by explaining that a vector is a quantity with magnitude and direction, and gives examples of where vectors are used in science applications like velocity,...

Know when and how to use the “Impulse Approximation”.

A water rocket in slow motion is used to demonstrate conservation of linear <a href='https://www.flippingphysics.com/conservation-of-momentum-demonstration.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>momentum.</a>https://www.flippingphysics.com/conservation-of-momentum-demonstration.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>momentum. This is an AP Physics 1 topic.

Lasers are known to burn things, fix eyes, and dance on powerpoint presentations. But they can also be used to cool objects to some of the coldest temperatures in the universe.

In this video, a person visits Fuji-Q Amusement Park in Japan to ride the Takabisha rollercoaster, known for its world record-breaking drop. With a mix of excitement and fear, they capture their experience as they scream their way...
