Professor Reveals the Power of Newton's Second Law

Let me explain the science…

Newton’s second law states that force equals mass times acceleration. This means that if you were to sledgehammer one of your students whose mass is resting on a single spike, then he will hurt himself as there is a lot of mass and therefore force resting on one spike. However, if you have one hundred spikes, then the force of the student pushing on the spikes will be distributed evenly, allowing for the student to survive the sledgehammer blow without any injuries. For example what would have been a 10,000 Newton force on one spike, becomes a 100 Newton force on 100 spikes (assuming even distribution)!

Thank you to the professor Brian Welsch from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for inspiring this video.

Bro it is actually pressure not Newton's 2nd law

Newton's laws typically made people have an injury... Is this a redemption arc?

[zubest]

Newton's second law is about movement when you use force. This law could damage him more than save. This video is more about pressure.

🙋‍♂️: Hello teacher-
👨‍🔬 : Get under the nails
🤷‍♂️ : That doesn't look sa-
👨‍🔬: GET UNDER THE FN NAILS

It helps when they're also not sharp to begin with

Fun Fact, snowshoes work by applying the same concept! They spread your weight across a wide area to prevent you from sinking into the snow. It's a real-life example of how distributing force over a larger surface can reduce pressure, making a snowshoe much more effective than regular shoes in deep snow!

Father:- Son, what happened?
Son:- Kudos to Newton for making laws, damn that 2nd law otherwise I was dead today😂

Even if newton didn't discover anything still nails aren't going to hurt

On the other hand, this is kind of explains why cars nowadays made mostly out of plastic, instead of durable metal

Dude stands up with 999 punctures on his abdomen…

One miscalculation and we would have discovered physics law or trial & error.

[socialid]

All other first second laws are derived from second law, and are interrelated and they are actually Natures law discovered explained by Newton guruji

[AutisticAl]

I saw them do this in India and bro projectiled blood like a fountain 😂

[GAMING-hn]

So if Newton didn't discovered this law and we do the same thing the person under the spikes gets injured 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Andrea-LovesYouStill]

Ok but he still got hit by the force of a sledgehammer on a board 😂

[theotherone]

Why the hell did I read spiky injury as spinky winky wtf 😭.

[adamrydl]

Did you know what also can stop student from a spiky injury? Maybe don't fkin try this ?

[EhsanSkycotl]

We are going to learn how to survive from physic teacher 😂

[sssbznzn]

Cop:- let me xplain newtons 3rd law for u

[tehbobb]

Why would they let the teacher attack him like that
