Dear Flipping, can we have anything about magnetism? Thank You very much for your work

[williamthompson]

I was a physics teacher before I became an art teacher. Your videos are flipping awesome. I want to do art teacher videos. I was thinking I could promote my videos though providing public ed puzzles but noticed the views from edpuzzle don't show on youtube. A google search took me to your video. Wait! What? Anything new on that?

Kind regards,

Mr. Thompson

Awesome video and visuals. Lot of fun with learning. Great to see the video

Why is drag this equation but jet force is double it? Same equation with no 1/2 assuming Cd around 1

[broysthgaming]

why it is a constant velocity? I think the acceleration on the object by the force of gravity is not equal to 0 so the force of drag and the force of gravity are not equal to one another.

[broysthgaming]

if you say the object goes through the water has a constant velocity and 0 acceleration so, why the object goes through the air has the acceleration≠0 and velocity is not constant?

Great video! I noticed at 6:47 3rd line down, the expression on the right hand side for Cd is missing the g term in the numerator. The answer in blue is correct though. Just thought I'd point that out. Thanks for the content!

Can you guys please make a video on "radial motion without radial acceleration" in polar coordinates. Plzs

Dear Sir, Kindly please answer. Sir, my problem statement is to find out the drag coefficient of a small toy boat of 20 cm in length and 10 cm in width. If I place the boat in a stationary position in a small fish tank like yours. How to calculate drag coefficient in the situation. Sir, As my boat is stationary only two forces acting on the boat are FB (buoyancy force) and Fg( gravitational force). How to find the drag coefficient in this situation please enlighten me with the answer... Thank You

Sir, we'll uses Cd=2mg/rho.phi.r²v² or Cd=Fd/1/2rho.pV²A in case skydiving free fall?

I’d be interested to see the views v time for this genre of video. I feel like lots of videos see a huge bump in the first 24 hours or so, but these are sort of viewed as a reference. Maybe cyclical bumps every finals season?

Thanks for the great content!

What textbook do you base your lessons off of?
