Want to Understand Momentum? Here's An Easy And Fun Experiment To Try At Home!

Street Science | Wednesdays at 10/9c on Science
Like the Newton's Cradle, the impact of one ball on another produces a compression wave that goes through the object. All you need to replicate this is a tennis ball and a water balloon.

"A fun experiment to try at home!" I don't have the balls to do it.

[Linck]

This kid looks very much like he's playing the talk like an adult game

[muntahamajed]

Yes blue shirt kids are indeed out of this world

[DiverseKitty]

Awesome middle school student! Great experiment. Very fun to watch. Thank you so much!

[lavenyarajagopalthemedico]

slow motion is
i am seeing it again and

[humnhumnhumn]

I just came here to check out all the comments about the kid

“The origin of momentum creation is founded on the application of energy. Momentum serves as the initial cause of pushing and pulling. The energy, emanating from the internal core of a planet, is what gives rise to momentum, commonly referred to as gravity, and not due to the planet’s size, mass, or space-time curvature. For example, when energy is applied, it generates the necessary momentum for the actions of pushing and pulling. Without the application of energy, momentum cannot be established. Consequently, force cannot be exerted for pushing and pulling, as it lacks a physical existence. This, in turn, clarifies why force is not gravity.” ~Guadalupe Guerra from Laredo, Texas c/s

Kid looks like and reminds me of that kid in Jumanji that got his ass kicked. Alan Parrish XD

[HettyPatel]

Learns about "probably life science" hahaa

[iuozero]

I hope I'm not the only one who got sent here because of my science teacher.

*flashbacks to making friends fall off trampoline* good times

[mutatedcells]

Is the momentum of ball only conserved? Is the momentum of balloon and ball conserved?

[jennicadavid]

I wanna know where this kid is now in life, he's probably on his way to becoming a scientist.

[its.me.khanyo]

Energy is not lost but transfer from 1 object to another🥴

[HettyPatel]

"Very much so" WHAT THE FAK MOST ADULT THING THAT CAME OUT OF A 12 YEAR OLD'S MOUTH AAHAHHAHAH hahaha

[sonu-ybmd]

It explains the law of conservation of momentum not about momentum.

[kylefresh]

haha he referenced the Slo-guys. suck it other dude

[HettyPatel]

its funny how they just go energy from the balloon trans to the ball but like they dont say how... lol whats the point? HEHEHE and the kid omfg hahah so funny im done

[anita-tklm]

That's not very good but fair.

[lilyy]

you probably came here from your physics teachers powerpoint presentation.
