You may have heard that a kilogram of feathers weighs the same as a kilogram of steel, but that all depends on where you weigh them. This video is all about the difference between mass and weight, and how weirdly awesome Earth’s gravity...

Bumblebees fly, lights turn on, and you can ride a bike without falling over. We all know these things to be true, but what you may not know is the real reason behind why they work. Join Olivia to bust seven myths about motion.

Sending rockets into space requires sacrificing expensive equipment, burning massive amounts of fuel, and risking potential catastrophe. So in the space race of the 21st century, some engineers are abandoning rockets for something more...

Curly, festive ribbons are a delight, sure, but the physics behind HOW they curl is much more exciting!

Today we’re going to talk about the forces that affect a country’s stability. We’ll take a closer look at Costa Rica, Venezuela, Cuba, and Brazil and examine how the cohesiveness of these Latin American countries varies dramatically even...

Did you know that centrifugal force isn't really a thing? I mean, it's a thing, it's just not real. In fact, physicists call it a "Fictitious Force." Mind blown yet? To explore this idea further, this week Shini sits down with us to...

In this edition of IDTIMWYTIM, Hank addresses the so-called centrifugal force, and explains why you really mean centripetal force.

Step into the exciting world of roller coasters and learn how they blend physics with fun to deliver thrilling experiences safely. This video takes you behind the scenes to uncover how roller coasters are designed to maximize...

Here is a simple DIY demonstration of centrifugal force. This physics experiment shows how two ping pong balls move away from the centre when we start spinning.

In this video we take a detailed look at how the Centrifugal compressor works on a chiller and why it's important.<br/>
We use 3D models, real world photos and worked examples to help you understand how th<br/>ey operate.

Forces are like friends… some are real and some are fake! This lesson will distinguish between real and fictitious forces.

Definitions included: frame of reference, inertial frame of reference, non-inertial frame of reference, real...
