I wish my Physics teacher could teach physics like this. I learn AP Physics 1 by watching Flipping Physics videos and then reading and solving problems from a College Physics textbook. Thank you Flipping Physics.

Man screw my textbook, this just explained everything to me so easily and clearly in 10 minutes

[yashaswinijoshi]

You always address the most common questions that students have about a particular topic and give awesome explanations. Thank you for your videos!

My job is a dentist, and this lesson is very important to the torque in orthodontics treatments..
Thank you.

I just want to say that as I serve a missionary physics teacher with minimal resources, all of your videos are lifesavers in explaining concepts to my high school students!

[khanfalia]

my first couple of paychecks after I graduate I will be donating to you, Khan Academy & Patrick JMT. Thank you for now!

So much better than my university class on this relatively simple subject, I loved how definitions were first shown and clear, my class relies way too much much on intuitions giving little explanations/references back to what the definition of the damn thing actually is. Thanks!

[imzayn]

! i don't know how to explain but you're just awesome ! you did hard work to explain this to us... and your examples was so solid and so easy ! i'm just so impressed from the way you teach ! <3 i wish every student get a teacher like you ! i don't know why this channel is underrated it deserves millions of subscribers...wish you a very best luck for your future

I love how much fun you had trying to open the door at 6:20

I have my college physics final this week and one of the topics I've been struggling with is torque, so this video came at the perfect time! It makes so much more sense now. Thank you!

[julianramos]

Thank you so much! you have no idea how your examples makes everything easier to understand. You deserve 1 billions subscribers.

[diegokher]

thank you so much for your dedication doing this videos, makes me perfectly understand the concept and have a good time watching the video, blessings for you, thank you!!

[audreygeorges]

Round of applause for this amazing creator! I'm currently a first year Electrical Engineer in college and these videos are really helping me understand physics. Thank you so much!

[FroggyMosh]

This is awesome! I love that you're essentially having Kerbals in class.
It's exactly the sort of associations I need to have a hope to retain at least a fraction of this.
So well explained too. I'll be checking more of this out.

[yensall]

Extremely helpful! Thank you! Btw video is awesome

[tremywoods]

You did what the entirety of my university's Physics department (head TAs, prerecorded lecture videos, live lecturing from my Professor, TAs from Office Hours/Discussion, textbook written by department) could not: make me understand torque, and in 10 minutes. I feel like all of the equations thrown at me didn't make sense until you covered them the way you did so THANK YOU.

[creammints]

Thank you so much for this, since we started online learning my teachers have just wanted us to read the textbook but I'm one of those people that have to listen along and see what's happening to understand things and this has just saved my butt. It's really nice for you to teach us all and for free!

He is a really good teacher. Thank you.

This is an amazingly well put together and cogent description of torque. Thank you for this. I am pointing my students toward it as supplement to their classroom instruction.
