What happens if you build a skyscraper so tall it breaks the laws of physics? This hypothetical scenario leads to an interesting discussion of Newtonian forces and the imaginary forces that explain them. As part of a larger series on...

Two is too few, four is too many, but three is just perfect. Individuals watch a Real Engineering video to see why wind turbines typically have three blades. This requires consideration of both cost and speed of blade rotation.

Is it possible to make gravity? Scholars watch a Real Engineering video that explains how it would be possible to simulate gravity on a space station. Rotation of the station is the key.

Do your students ever confuse centripetal force and centrifugal force? Here is a video that addresses exactly that concept. The video uses a tether ball as a demonstration of the various forces at play.

Why don't we just take an elevator to space instead of wasting all of those rockets? Video begins with an explanation of the concept of space elevators, and continues with the things that must be considered in developing and operating...

Round and round and round you go! Lead the way as your class explores centrifugal force, the fictitious force responsible for an abundance of activities performed by individuals every day. They discuss the correlation between centripetal...

The objective of this video lesson is to correct the misconception in the students' understanding of centrifugal force. The lesson will work to clarify this misconception by using Newton's three laws of motion, particularly the law of...

The host of Crash Course Physics discusses centripetal force, centrifugal force, and a few other bits of physics to help explain Uniform Circular motion. [9:54]

This week Shini sits down with us to discuss centripetal force, centrifugal force, and a few other bits of physics to help us understand Uniform Circular Motion. [9:53]
