Position, Velocity and Acceleration

059 - Position, Velocity, and Acceleration

In this video Paul Andersen explains for the position of an object over time can be used to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the object. If a net force acts on a object it will experience an acceleration.

I just need to say, I’m high right now, and your skydiving analogy blew my mind right now. I literally saw the people as positions moving through space, acceleration making them fall faster, and them at terminal velocity upon reaching max acceleration.

🤯🤯🤯

You nailed that visual lesson man.

[DanielVazquez]

Best explanation I have seen in this topic so far. Simple and direct! Thank you!

Hey Paul, I'm an Australian university student doing physics for the first time, since I never did it in high school these videos have been a big help, I have my exam coming up tomorrow and I just wanted to thank you for the tutorials on these things :)

[nidaburgucu]

You are the best physics teacher I've ever seen. All engineer students should watch your videos :)

[annetteknell]

Best physics teacher ever !! Im from peru trying to get into the best science university here and this is helping me a lot. Thank u x 100

[RoseaNebulaLaeta]

This was really, really helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your lessons online, they really help so much!

[amymcgee]

I'm in 8th grade and this has really helped me, your videos are great and will definitely show and suggest them to my fellow peers. :)

[pavithras]

You are really a knowledgeable teacher. Sir, I will be happy if you just make a video about carbon and its compounds.

[tylereidelman]

teacher recommend you for our 8th grade physics test, helped out so much thank you

[jesuslovesyou]

i love your videos! please keep on doing them so that people like me can enjoy learning physics!

[micasianson]

I'm studying this as an elective this third year highschool. it's damn hard but you helped me... thanks

Very cool, but wish he had used the CAR accelerating for the second example. Am trying to construct a mathematical model of a horse race, and graphing the acceleration over time and over distance, in order to figure out energy expended. Am having a tough time because it's counterintuitive with the negative accelerations!

[antoniomarin]

Hello. Mr. Paul Seems nice explication.
Please any chance to explain me how I have to Understand or deal with this formulas at the time to use. Vf=at+vi, X=1/2at to the second+ vit. vfto the second-vi to the second=2ax.
Thanks.

MR SERINO WHY DO YOU MAKE US DO THIS??!?!?!!

[mirceaandreighinea]

is the acceleration always a straight line in the velocity per time graph? thank you!
(great videos you have!!!)

[tsaha]

If you want to feel acceleration, you should jump out of an Airplane.



Brought my eyes back from my phone to this video.

[notme]

Can someone pls tell me how he got the velocity time graph from the slope of the position time graph?

[fistoffries]

Is there a video physics app (or comparable) for android?

[brownlettuce]

Suggestion... Drop the “did you learn” interrogative (it’s not helpful) and just summarize.

STILL WAITING THUMBS DOWN I THOUGHT U HAD AN EXPANATION OF ACCELERATION TO GET POSITION BUT U HAVE A BUNCH OF SLOPES .
