Best Film on Newton's Third Law. Ever.

There is a gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the moon, but is it mutual? That is, are the forces on the Earth and the moon equal? Most people would say no, the Earth exerts a greater force of attraction because it is larger and has more mass. This is a situation in which Newton's Third Law is relevant. Newton's Third Law says that for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. So the force the Earth exerts on the moon must be exactly equal and opposite the force the moon exerts on the Earth. But how can that be - that the same size force keeps the moon orbiting, but barely affects the Earth? The answer is inertia - the tendency for all objects with mass to maintain their state of motion. Since the Earth has much more mass than the moon, it has greater inertia and therefore experiences much less acceleration for the same amount of force.

Yes, changing the thumbnail and title does increase your CTR and impressions. Watching a video made 10 years ago. Guess you cracked the algorithm:)

YouTube recommends me this video after a complete decade.

"any two objects will have the same gravitational force towards each other"

DID YOU FEEL NEWTON INSIDE YOUR SPLEEN!?!?!?!?

[Postermaestro]

And that's why size doesn't matter boys. It's all about the force..

[samuelwinburn]

He’s literally farming views at this point, after he’s figured out this whole YouTube algorithm. To be quite frank though, he deserves more views

0:29 "The moon pulls on the earth too. It affects the tides... and women."

I was not expecting that. I LOL'd.

[SuperManning]

Amazingly, even after all these years since Derek posted this video, Newton’s laws still hold — I can feel it in my spleen!

3:07 "speedlimit: c"
well, that's a bit much don't you think?

"Did they really feel it in their spleen?"

[ard-janvanetten]

I'm gonna copystrike u bc u should've linked to my principia

[halowaffles]

"Do you know why I pulled you over, today?"
"Probably because I was going D in a C zone, officer"

[delfikpro]

Derek really took that "baity titles for older videos" thing to a whole new level

[PaulSmithVPS]

Or just realize that when you stand an the scale an measure your weight on Planet Earth, that you'd get the same amount as if you flipped the scale upside down and measured the weight of Earth on Planet You.

So I guess we're really really pushing into this "retitling" territory. It's interesting!

[agerrgerra]

I don't feel comfortable placing Newton's third law in my spleen.

[smoke]

Nobody :

YouTube : yeah boi, this video got 8 years old let's recommend this to everyone

[vareek]

Seem like Derick clickbaiting skill to applease youtube algorithm is doing well.

[miguelblanco]

Lol. Does anyone else notice the speed limit sign?

[whereismymind]

As a teacher I was super proud of that guy who stopped to think about what he said initially and started working it out... Seriously though, excellent explanation, thank you - will be using this with my classes.
