Position, Velocity and Acceleration
In this video Paul Andersen explains for the position of an object over time can be used to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the object. If a net force acts on a object it will experience an acceleration.

Elastic and Inelastic Collisions
In this video Paul Andersen compares and contrasts elastic and inelastic collisions. In all collisions the linear momentum will be conserved. In an elastic collision the kinetic energy of the objects will also be maintained. Several...

Magnetic Force
In this video Paul Andersen explains how a charge particle will experience a magnetic force when it is moving through a magnetic field. The right-hand rule is described as a method for determining the direction of the force. The...

Refraction of Light
In this video Paul Andersen explains how light can be refracted, or bent, as it moves from one medium to another. The amount of refraction is determined by the angle of incidence and the index of refraction. Snell's Law can be used to...

Scalars and Vectors
Mr. Andersen explains the differences between scalar and vectors quantities. He also uses a demonstration to show the importance of vectors and vector addition.

Work and Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the mechanical energy added or removed from a system results from work. For work to occur a force must act parallel to the displacement of the system. Since work and energy are equivalent the...

Impulse
In this video Paul Andersen defines impulse as the product of the force applied and the time over which the force is applied. The impulse of an object is equivalent to the change in momentum of the object. Several problems related to...

Momentum
In this video Paul Andersen will first define momentum as the product of an objects mass and velocity. He will then demonstrate how a net force acting on an object will change the momentum in the direction of the force. Several problems...

Fluids in Motion: Crash Course Physics
Today, we continue our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics. How do fluids act when they're in motion? How does pressure in different places change water flow? And what is one of the motion annoying things about filming outside on a...

Forces
Forces are pushes or pulls on an object. Forces can be determined by measuring the motion of an object. If an object accelerates then a force is present.

Rotational Motion: Crash Course Physics
Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? I mean, kinda... it's all relative, right? Prepare to have your mind blown in this episode of Crash Course Physics where Shini delves into the world of...

Potential and Kinetic Energy
Mr. Andersen explains the difference between potential and kinetic gravitational energy. He also uses physics to calculate the energy in various objects.

Matter as a Particle
In this video Paul Andersen explains how matter, like light, can be treated as both a particle and a wave. Louis de Broglie proposed that matter could act as a wave and described the wavelength of matter as a function of Planck's...

Everything Revolves Around You
So, why doesn't the moon just crash into the Earth? And why doesn't the Earth crash into the Sun? What are orbits exactly and why do they happen? Well, it has to do with gravity and velocity. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina...

Momentum
Mr. Andersen explains the concept of momentum. He also shows you how to solve simple momentum problems. He finally shows you how momentum is both conserved and relative.

Simple Harmonic Motion
In this video Paul Andersen explains how simple harmonic motion occurs when a restoring force returns an object toward equilibrium. The two types of harmonic motion studied in AP Physics are the mass spring oscillator and the simple...

Graphing Acceleration Explained - Velocity versus Time!
A velocity vs time graph describes the motion of an object. The slope of the line tells us the acceleration of the object. The slope of the line can be positive, negative or zero. This tells us that the object is either speeding up,...

Simplifying Acceleration Calculations
Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity over time. Acceleration can be calculated using the formula a=vf-vi/t. Acceleration can be positive, which means speeding up, negative which means slowing down and it can also be 0 which...

How to Calculate Momentum - Newton's 3rd Law of Motion - p=mv
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The formula associated with Newton's 3rd Law is p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity. In this video, we will cover how to...
