Do You Feel Your Weight?
No. You do not feel your weight. You feel the force normal acting on you. This video shows why and demonstrates what you feel on an elevator.

Introduction to Projectile Motion
My strategy for solving any projectile motion problem. You need to split the variables in to the x and y directions and solve for time. Sounds simple and it really is, usually.

A Free-Fall Problem That You Must Split Into Two Parts
This is a complicated free-fall problem where you have to identify that the velocity at the top of the path is zero in the y-direciton. Furthermore, you have to look at it from the perspective of the whole event and splitting the problem...

Conservation of Energy: Free Fall, Springs, and Pendulums
The energy of a closed system is always conserved. This is an important law of physics! But energy does change forms. What are all the forms and how do they interchange? You gotta watch this clip to find out, buddy!

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
You thought we were all done with Newton, didn't you? You figured that three laws are enough for any scientist. Well think again! Newton was quite the champ, and his work with gravity was revolutionary. I mean, the guy invented calculus...
