Who else had to watch this for science class because of corona

[grantpeng]

Did he use the wii sports bowling noises in 2:09

Sir Newton's laws are so beautiful in free space and frictionless planes. He was much ahead of his time

0:52 Is that the Tie Fighter sound effect from Star Wars?! That is amazing!

This video was super helpful, it's great for studying for any motion related tests. Now I have a visualization in my mind!

_"Now test it out on Earth."_ I see a lawsuit coming.

Great video, just showed it to my students and they loved it, thank you for the demonstration.

This is SO Coool, on space station and easily displayed. 11/10 for your school project son. 😀

[HezlitFR]

Where can I find more of these ? This is so cool !

[TheAlalicious]

Great demonstration! Thanks for sharing :)

Equal force doesn't mean equal acceleration

[afrosamuri]

I'm going to test this theory out on a person I don't like, but instead of pushing him I'm going to focus all of my energy into my clinched fists and directly apply this force in a linear motion to an area on his face and my hypothesis is; the results of my action should leave the subject lying 180 degrees to the ground and me standing perpendicular to the ground.

if someone could explain their findings on Newton's Third Law so I don't have to watch the video and can pass physics, it would be greatly appreciated...

If you hold stationary two equal mass dice apart in space and release them, their mass will cause them to slowly attract each other until they ultimately touch and orbit each other.

I'm I the only one watching this for an seventh grade assignment...

Why do have a brand new basketball ball?? And what is the purpose od bringing ball to a space shuttle???

[sunscraper]

Imagine pushing Nikocado Avocado in space and this noise just plays: 2:08

[catnigga]

Lol at 0:50 there's a tie fighter sound effect

[Madmen]

Confused.
Because of the mass differential, you propelled the ball forward without moving yourself. But how can the ball and you exert equal force on each other when the ball's motion did not move you?
Two men with equal mass can propel each other with equal force, causing you both to move out of place. To me that means each of you exerted equal force.
I don't get what is the opposite reaction in your examoles. . Does it mean that force propels an object from stationary to mobility? It must also mean causing an object in motion to become stationary, perhaps like a dam stops the motion of water? You could measure those forces I think.
But how do you measure the latent force of the basketball compared to the force you can exert to move it?
