Physics Experiment: Bowling Ball to the Head

Would you trust physics? In this captivating demonstration, Museum Educator Eric puts his trust in the fundamental principles of physics to the test. Join us as we explore Newton’s Third Law of Motion, witnessing the remarkable interplay between potential and kinetic energy. From the careful buildup of energy to its dynamic release, Eric's engaging experiment offers a hands-on lesson in the wonders of scientific discovery.

I wouldn't trust myself to stand perfectly still.

[habibnightmare]

bro got aura for that smooth step-back🥶🥶

[EntityBSS]

i would never be able to stay in that spot seeing that ball coming at my face

[PolyEthylenTerephtalat]

Bro hat no fear in his eyes when he pushed that ball harder

[georgehartley]

The way he moved at the end was so smooth

[rivergamer]

“So why didn’t I flinch? Well because of the laws of physics-“

[CynthiaTheSilly]

understanding physics gives u insane aura

[comicstrider]

I trust physics, but I don't trust my hand to not accidentally add any extra kinetic energy

[supremegaming]

I trust physics but i just don't trust myself to not move.

Edit: I don't even know how I got 65K likes. This is amazing Tysm guys

[Jeraykoo]

Isn’t that crazy how P5 science can amaze people

[cr_thegoat]

sometimes physics is scary but its true that sometimes physics can also save lives

Why do i keep remembering Neil crushing his face with this

[sajiyaafrin]

"So why didnt i flinch?"
- neil degrass tyson just before his face gets obloterated

[deep-friedbutter]

When the physics teacher knows his stuff!

[realgamerzyt]

That one mf wind💀

[mjolnir]

Damn the way he steps away right just before the ball hits his face is pretty BALLSY

[rakshueditz]

The ball that swung in front of his face when he stepped back was a jump scare for me 😂

When he stepped back, I kind of felt like he was god
