Tribology: it's a funny-sounding word you might not have heard before, but it could change how you see and interact with the physical world, says mechanical engineer Jennifer Vail. Offering lessons from tribology -- the study of friction...

In this video Paul Andersen describes the relationship between energy and forces. When objects are directly touching electromagnetic forces can result in forces and energy exchange. When objects are not directly touching fields;...

This video describes the basic role that atoms play in creating electrical charges, as well as the nature and creation of static electricity. Various methods of charging are discussed, emphasizing the role that insulators and conductors...

This video introduces the concept of non-conservative forces, focusing on kinetic friction and air resistance as examples. It explains how these forces cause mechanical energy to change or dissipate within a system, converting kinetic...

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...

Hey guys, this video covers the intuition behind friction. Friction always acts in the direction opposite to the applied force. Using this and the fact that the static coefficient of friction is different to the kinetic coefficient of...

Dive into the science behind roller coasters, exploring how friction and acceleration play crucial roles. Understand how friction converts energy into heat, impacting the coaster's motion, and learn how acceleration, influenced by...

This video provides an explanation of the differences between contact forces and non-contact forces, with a particular focus on the force of gravity. The speaker defines what a force is and how it interacts with objects. They provide...

A moving object doesn’t always have a force in the same direction as its motion. Learn why with this simple hockey puck example and deepen your understanding of Newton’s laws.

It explains the types of friction, namely static, rolling, sliding and fluid friction.

Learn how to solve classic ladder problems using static equilibrium principles. This lesson covers torque, free body diagrams, normal and frictional forces, and strategic pivot selection

The video discusses Newton's Second Law of Motion and demonstrates a practical experiment to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of an object and the force acting on it. The video shows the equipment required for the...

Balanced & Unbalanced Forces | Forces & Motion | Physics | FuseSchool How do we find out whether the forces acting on an object are balanced or unbalanced? Learn in this video from the "Forces and Motion" chapter of the FuseSchool GCSE /...

Upon viewing the Things in Motion video series, students will be able to do the following: Identify a moving object and describe its movement as related to its frame of reference. Provide examples of forces in everyday life such as a...

This video discusses the principle of force and the application of Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Students will witness the effect of friction on force and see how force is calculated. Other terminology includes: inertia, weight, mass,...

Understand the four key types of forces—gravitational, normal, frictional, and tension—and how they affect motion. Learn to classify, analyze, and apply these forces to solve mechanics problems

Bobby teaches the basics of friction and the differences between Static and Kinetic Friction.

We define and discuss how to draw Free Body Diagrams which are also called Force Diagrams. In addition we define the force normal and the force applied. Force of friction and center of mass are briefly discussed, however, a much more...

Newton’s Third Law states that for every force exerted by one object on another, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. These forces act simultaneously and are external to the system, meaning they don't...

Pupil outcome: I can carry out an investigation into friction and evaluate the results. Key learning points: - Scientists carry out investigations to measure and compare the amount of friction created between different surfaces. - The...

“Types of Friction” defines friction, examines the three main types of friction, and provides examples of each type.

Dive into the mechanics of the wheel and axle, a simple machine that transforms how we transport objects and reduce effort. This video covers the integration of wheels in everyday tools like cars, bicycles, and dollies, explaining how...
