After a number of tutorials covering first-order differential equations, it's time to start tackling second-order differential equations. These contain a second derivative term, and they are quite useful in physics. To introduce these,...

Energy is all around us. There are two main types of energy - kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential energy is stored energy. In this video, we will cover both kinetic and potential...

In this video, we go over practice problems related to speed and velocity. This video is a follow up video to our concept video on Speed vs. Velocity. Students will learn 1 easy way to solve any speed or velocity problem and perform the...

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,...

Learn about the basics of 1-dimensional motion in this informative video! We'll cover the relationship between distance and time, and how to read and interpret distance-time graphs. Perfect for students studying physics or anyone looking...

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...

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...

Do explosions actually throw people into the air? If so, how powerful would it have to be and could our hero survive such a fiery boom?

The kinetic energy of an object is based on the mass of the object and it's velocity. The more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has and the faster the object is moving, the more kinetic energy an object has. The formula...

In this video, I want to answer the question, What is a Burndown Chart and a Burnup Chart? And What is Velocity?



A Burndown chart is a way to visualize progress. It plots outstanding work against time. So, as you make...

In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed an atomic model that dramatically altered our comprehension of atomic structure by establishing a novel framework for describing the arrangement and behaviour of electrons within an atom....

If you’re trapped high up in a deadly predicament with only a great fall as a means of escape, should you take your chances with fall damage?

In the case of a sudden halt of Earth’s revolution around the heat giant, everything would fall into complete disarray on the planet. Since Earth has an orbital velocity, everything on Earth is moving at the same velocity. In the case...

Werner Heisenberg proposed Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in 1927, which states that measuring a particle's momentum and position at the same time with accuracy is not possible. One can know a property less precisely the more...

Frequency is the measurement of the total number of complete cycles or oscillations that a wave goes through in one second, and it is expressed in hertz (Hz). Frequency is a fundamental attribute that dictates the rate at which a wave...

Join me today in the nail-biting journey of LUCY.

Betelguese, a red super-giant star, could be breaking the laws of physics.

Ready to ace the AP Physics 1 exam? In this Unit 4 review, we break down everything you need to know about linear momentum, impulse, and types of collisions. We'll cover key concepts like momentum as a vector, Newton's Second Law in...

Join us as we unravel the intricacies of LR circuits and explore their analogies to object motion. Bo's thought-provoking question sparks a discussion on the meaning of equations for the derivative of current as a function of time. Mr. P...

The tangential velocity is measured at any point tangent to a rotating wheel. Thus, angular velocity, w, is related to tangential velocity, Vt, through the formula: Vt = wr. Here, r is the radius of the wheel. Tangential velocity is the...

Kites fly because of the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag. The difference in air pressure on the top and bottom of the kite creates lift. The drag is created by the friction of the air flowing around the kite. The lift balances the...

Did you know that Gwen stacy's death and Newton’s second law of motion have a connection? In the comics “The Amazing Spiderman”, Gwen Stacy dies after she is pushed off a bridge. Spiderman jumps behind her to catch her in his webbing,...

There is a very low chance of surviving a gunshot to the head, but even if you do survive, you cannot come out of such an injury unharmed, which is why gun violence is one popular media depiction that no one wants to see translated into...
