This nugget explains pressure with its mathematical formula and its applications. The pressure exerted by liquids and gases & atmospheric pressure

NASA successfully launched a super pressure balloon (SPB) from Wanaka Airport, New Zealand, at 11:35 a.m. Tuesday, May 17, (7:35 p.m. EDT Monday, May 16) on a potentially record-breaking, around-the-world test...

Weather balloons are launched around the world, twice a day, at the same time to gather and share data about the atmosphere. The balloons carry an instrument called a radiosonde which collects information. The data helps to create better...

The science of hot air balloons may surprise you.

A lot of people talk about humans colonizing Mars, but what about Venus?

Upon viewing the Forces in Fluids video series, students will be able to do the following: Define fluids as substances that can easily flow and readily change shape. Explain that fluids flow because particles can easily move past each...

What causes different kinds of weather? What is wind and where does it come from? How can pressure systems help us predict the weather? Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. Understanding weather systems is the key to reliable...

Want to learn more about the topic in this week's video? Here are some key words/phrases to get your googling started: - Lifting Condensation Level (LCL): The altitude at which the water vapor in rising air begins to condense - Adiabatic...

Before Yuri Gagarin orbited Earth, one man made an extraordinary trip beyond Earth's atmosphere. Can he claim to be the first man in space? Physics - Universe - Learning Points. Project Excelsior III was the American Air Force’s mission...

The terminal velocity of an object is the speed at which the force of drag equals the force of gravity on that object.

In this video to learn about the molar volumes of gases, how to calculate this and where this knowledge is needed in everyday life.

In the early 1900s massive airships ruled the sky, offering luxury commercial travel significantly faster than the steamships that ruled the waves. But a series of disasters, including the demise of Britain's R101 and culminating in the...

Learn about pressure temperature and volume laws (Boyle’s, Gay-Lussac’s and Charles’ laws) in this video. If you want to know about the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) it get’s it’s own separate video! transcript:...
