Introduction to Physics - Lesson 1 - What is Physics?

[thenewboston]

Wanted to teach some basic physics before getting into the Physics engine with the UDK. These tutorials will help you understand it a lot better when I teach it in the UDK.

Bucky, you are probably the best tutorial maker on Youtube. Not just because your tutorials are of high quality and are amazingly easy to follow (even when talking about compicated subjects), but also because you have a reason, a purpose and ideal that you follow and that is the most important thing a person could have.

I just want to thank you for making me regain my hope in humanity.
You're amazing.

Thanks for the tips. Usually my teachers would skip the small steps but i prefer to see all the steps because I'm that kind of a person. Thank you for this nice introduction.

Wow! Physics by bucky? That's awesome!!!

I love that your going through the math before the theory. Most people start with the "easy" bit and get stuck at the hard math.

I'm an international relations major, we study a lot of politics, but I like to venture out. Physics looks so interesting.

[AharonMeisels]

Love love love Thank you so much I will explain my excitement more later on the other videos YOU ROCK thenewboston!!!

Oh my god, I used your Java tutorials. Then I decided to learn physics. And then it turns out, you have the highest number of physics hits for "physics lesson 1"! You're the best! :) (mind=blown)

I just finished my physics Alevel and now I find out I could have saved 2 years of my life by waiting for these tutorials.

[MatthewMcDermott]

this is awesome. I haven't taken physics yet, but learning it from you first will help me so much.

thanks for the quick version of decimal points, easy to remember and practical

Wow, this is a great intro. for 9th grade. I have forgotten how the exponents work, until now. This guy is pretty good. :)

Love your tutorials and humor added, but most of all it's more comfortable comprehending.

Love the videos. I will shared them when I start this class in the fall semester. Subscribed

Some things I wanted to add. Its called powers of 10, so using 10^(fraction) defeats the purpose of efficiency and would no longer classical scientific notation. Also, the reason why 10^0 or any number^0 is one is best explained by an example: 2^3=8, 2^2=4, 2^1=2, as you can see, we are dividing by 2 every time we move down a power, this continues to apply through Zero and Negative exponents. 2 divided by 2 is 0, thus 2^0 = 1 and 2^-1 is 1/2

Why teachers couldn't teach us this way???

[kittenpaws]

I'm glad that there are students starting early. Keep it up!!👍

[doublesushii]

haha you make learning my most hated subject fun! KEEP UP THESE AWESOME VIDEOS!!

[MrZakiaashraf]

Very helpful. I'm in 5th grade and I just wanted to learn physics. The explanation is very good and understandable. Thanks a lot

[EspoVispo]

I'm in 7th grade, haven't even touched this subject yet, this will make school a lot easier! Thanks!
