Weight vs Mass

Season 1 · Episode 9

Tuesday, February 8, 2022 • Duration 03:04

The terms mass and weight are often used interchangeably in everyday life, but they don’t mean the same thing. Surprise, surprise!

What’s the difference? To find out, you only have to look at a bag of Skittles. Let me explain.

Friction Explained

Season 1 · Episode 8

Tuesday, February 1, 2022 • Duration 04:09

Stuff keeps going until something stops it. That’s the basic idea of Newton’s First Law, right? A ball hitting a wall or something. Yet, we also know that if we push a skateboard down the sidewalk, it’s gonna stop eventually even if it never hits anything. So, why?

Friction.

What is Net Force?

Season 1 · Episode 5

Tuesday, November 16, 2021 • Duration 03:49

As we start to explore the world of physics and motion and look at how things interact more closely, we start to see that nothing happens without affecting or being affected by something else. That idea plays nicely into something called Newton’s 1st Law, but first, let’s talk Net Forces.

What are Momentum and Acceleration?

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, November 15, 2021 • Duration 05:10

Changing speed is different for different things depending on their current speed and size, or their mass.

To understand this, we use something called momentum.

Have you ever been on a roller coaster? They start of slow. You can move around and lean forward in your seat with almost no energy, but when they start to speed up, like at the first drop, you get pushed into the back of your seat until you’ve stopped speeding up.

That change in velocity over time is acceleration.

These are our next stops in our series on introductory physics!

How Much Does the Sky Weigh?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, April 28, 2021 • Duration 15:16

It's a question you may have never asked, or wondered about, but now I bet you're wondering.

As it turns out, it's an unexpectedly loaded question, too!

In order to answer, you have to know where the sky is. Where does it start? Where does it end?

You might say "that's easy! the sky goes to the edge of the atmosphere, and then it's space?

But then you need to know where the atmosphere ends! Is there an edge? At what point does it become space?

I'm going to attempt to answer every connected question in this post. Buckle up your brain buckets!
