STEMonstrations: Kinetic and Potential Energy

Watch NASA astronaut Joe Acaba demonstrate kinetic and potential energy on the International Space Station by showing how an object’s potential energy changes due to its position. How can potential be converted into kinetic energy?

[bryansmith]

At 1:15, he should not say "create potential energy". He is converting or transferring his work (force he applies times distance) into elastic potential energy. The law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed, only transferred between objects or transformed from different types of energy.

Bro, FINALLY MY TEACHER GIVES ME A FIRE VIDEO TO WATCH!

[ThaRookStar]

honestly, I was expecting somthing much worse from my teachers. this was actually really good.

[umbreotheomega]

Who else had teachers make them watch this?

[eugene]

wonderfull video, btw names of the music tracks that were played on the video please?

[kavitapoddar]

Thank you this is in our selebus this all is coming in exam

[solaridastoobid]

lmao the guy getting flung by the bungee cord just be like "this is fine"

[MiadWahidKommon]

The day i first understood this, it was demonstrated on a blackboard. :) <3

[OwenChiu]

imagine throwing sand in the interational space center

[AbrarAl-hariri]

Can you tell me about the information in the video, kindly ..💗

This online school needs to be stopped 😭

If that ball is doing 18, 500mph wouldn't it have a massive amount of kinetic energy? (In addition to the potential energy due to gravity). Edit: come to think of it, since the ball is also falling, doesn't that mean the potential energy due to gravity has already been converted to and kinetic energy?

[AyushSharma-wqgd]

Drop me that ball when you reach my coordinates

[shadowatl]

I think the last example with weightlessness explanation was the most powerful!!!

Took an exposure of ISS today! I hope to take a better one soon tho, I didn't set my camera properly in time and instead of full pass in 1 pic, I had part of it in 2x30s pics :/

[patim]

Can you demonstrate/tell about soundwaves in space (a vacuum)

[multichqrms]

noice

I learned quite a lot from this video

[drd]

THANK YOU SIR #SIGMA #WIADWAYGOATED #yeahboi

[shokhimasuma]

I am filling i am with you in the space stations.

[reuben]

i didn't know they duplicated people at NASA (0:45)
