Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? I mean, kinda... it's all relative, right? Prepare to have your mind blown in this episode of Crash Course Physics where Shini delves into the world of...

Paul Andersen introduces forces, motion, and Newton's three laws in this video. He begins by describing forces as pushes or pulls on objects that produce motion. A lack of motion results from a balanced set of forces. A teaching...

Ramesh Raskar presents femto-photography, a new type of imaging so fast it visualizes the world one trillion frames per second, so detailed it shows light itself in motion. This technology may someday be used to build cameras that can...

Mr. Andersen explains the difference between potential and kinetic gravitational energy. He also uses physics to calculate the energy in various objects.

In this video Paul Andersen compares and contrasts transverse and longitudinal waves. Waves carry energy through oscillations. In transverse waves the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave and in longitudinal they...

There are renewable energy sources here on Earth, but to meet our clean energy needs we should consider every possible option, including the Moon.

What style of animation perfectly mimics the movement of zombies? Puppet animation allows for just the right amount of zombie-like stiff limbs and jerky stumbles. TED-Ed animators show how to bring a zombie to life through 2D puppet...

Mr. Andersen explains the importance of physics as a science. History and virtual examples are used to give the discipline context.

Wondering how you can catch the perfect wave? Dive into the fascinating and complex physics of surfing. -- Whether or not you realize it, surfers are masters of complicated physics. The science of surfing begins as soon as a board...

Why would it be hard to pedal a 10,000 pound bicycle? This simple explanation shows how Newton's 3 laws of motion might help you ride your bike.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how simple harmonic motion occurs when a restoring force returns an object toward equilibrium. The two types of harmonic motion studied in AP Physics are the mass spring oscillator and the simple...

Jacob Collier is a one-man band and force of nature. In a dynamic, colorful performance, he recreates the magical room at his home in London where he produces music, performing three songs in which he sings every part and plays every...

Mr. Andersen defines Newton's three laws of motion. He describes how the first law relates to inertia, how the second law relates to mass and acceleration, and how the third law allows a rocket to launch.

This colorful program investigates the fascinating topic of physical and chemical properties of matter. Numerous real-life examples of properties highlight the many different types of properties. The video correlates to the Next...

In this program heat energy is explored. The relationship between heat energy and temperature is highlighted. The relationship between phases changes and heat energy is also described. This video correlates to the Next Generation Science...

This engaging program explores the concept of thermal energy. Animations, along with video footage, describe the relationship between moving particles and heat. Special attention is given to the process of energy transfer.This video...

What other senses can these students use to understand the experiment?

In this video students will observe and measure an object in motion to show how patterns can be used to predict future motions. As a result of a hands-on experiment they will observe and explain patterns of motion. This program...

Don't lose them!

Learn about inertia and its role in resisting changes in motion. Discover how mass relates to inertia and why it's crucial in understanding an object's behavior.

Explore the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in this quick physics demonstration. See how changes in force and mass affect the acceleration of an object.

This video provides an introduction to Newton's three laws of motion, explaining how they help us understand the movement of objects in our everyday lives. It discusses the first law of inertia, which states that an object remains still...

This video discusses Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia. It explains how Newton built upon the experiments of Galileo to formulate this law. The video illustrates the concept using the example of a ball on the...

This video provides an explanation and examples of Newton's third law of motion, also known as the law of action and reaction. The law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The video illustrates this...
