TED-Ed: Why do buildings fall in earthquakes? - Vicki V. May
Earthquakes have always been a terrifying phenomenon, and they've become more deadly as our cities have grown - with collapsing buildings posing one of the largest risks. But why do buildings collapse in an earthquake? And how can it be...

TED: How to revitalize a neighborhood -- without gentrification | Bree Jones
The housing market can be vexing: while some neighborhoods get ridiculously expensive and price out longtime residents, others have historic homes sitting vacant without demand. Equitable housing developer and TED Fellow Bree Jones...

Motion of the Center of Mass
In this video Paul Andersen explains how linear motion of an object can be measured using the center of mass. Internal forces within the object can be ignored since they exist in action reaction pairs. A simple way to determine the...

TED-Ed: Do animals have language? - Michele Bishop
All animals communicate. But do they have language? Michele Bishop details the four specific qualities we associate with language and investigates whether or not certain animals utilize some or all of those qualities to communicate.

Average Value of the Electric Field
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the average value of the electric field can be determined by dividing the potential difference by the displacement. Equipotential lines can be used to determine the potential in an electric field...

Motion
In this video Paul Andersen describes motion as the movement of an object over time. Displacement, velocity and acceleration are all defined. An experiment in motion is used to calculate velocity and acceleration of a tennis ball.

Position, Velocity and Acceleration
In this video Paul Andersen explains for the position of an object over time can be used to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the object. If a net force acts on a object it will experience an acceleration.

Work and Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the mechanical energy added or removed from a system results from work. For work to occur a force must act parallel to the displacement of the system. Since work and energy are equivalent the...

TED: You don't have to leave your neighborhood to live in a better one | Majora Carter
Low-status neighborhoods in the US are often stuck between stagnating assistance from the government and gentrification at the hands of real estate developers. The result is that the brightest minds are convinced that "success" means...
