@AntigamerproXD_Christopher2 жыл бұрын
If you're interested in the proof: Energy is conserved in this system.. Therefore, E initial = E final. Using this, we can use the formula for kinetic translational energy K = 0.5(m)(v)^2 and set it equal to mgH (gravitational potential formula). H is the initial starting height. You can simplify this by canceling out m and g constants from both aides since they do not change. We are left with H = 0.5(v)^2 Therefore, v(velocity)will change based on the height but will never exceed the total output of gravitational potential energy.

Most of the time, it is the only way to learn. Don't believe that 'you just forget it after the exam' bs either - it's not about your capacity to remember, it's about your capacity to have been able to learn it.
@Michael-mh2tw Жыл бұрын
@@Michael-mh2tw I'm unsure what you're trying to say. Are you suggesting that lectures don't add anything? In my college classes, the quality and coherence of the professor was instrumental to my understanding of the material. Reading the textbook is one way to learn, but even though I like reading, math and physics textbooks are very dry, and my eyes tend to glaze over. It doesn't make sense to me unless someone walks me through it, preferably while drawing diagrams or graphs on a whiteboard. Taking notes is crucial. I was homeschooled in high school, and math was one subject where I fell behind, since I had no teacher and was just attempting to absorb information from textbooks. At community college I took an algebra course online where the professor was barely even existent, and I got a B (I had to watch Khan Academy videos on the side to pass). When I went to a university, my Trigonometry and Calculus teachers were very good, and I got an A in both classes. My physics professor was hard to understand, and I got a B (I really should have gotten a C, but he was a lenient grader).

You shouldn't skip a single class in the first place since you paid for it and your goal is to pass all of your courses. Why would you even care if your professor is boring or not, you go to class, learn the objectives, study, pass exams, get the degree. Very straight forward

@@tam6493 I mostly agree with you, except for one little detail. When I was in college, I met quite a few of really useless professors. They talk, they show slides, they give homework. However, I knew this stuff will not get me ready for the exam, because what they teach in class is only 10% of the whole material. You can bombard them with emails, catch before the class, book the office hours, but it will work not always. If the professor is _determined_ not to work, he will continue feed you single-worded answers, like "it's all online", or "ask your peers", etc. I skipped classes deliberately when I knew I am not advancing anywhere by attending them. Instead of focusing on something I can read myself faster, I will better sleep or cover more stuff in a book. In most cases, my grades went up because of skipping a class. You don't pay only for the class. You pay for credits, exams, homework, and finally, the diploma itself. _But_ _that's_ _a_ _completely_ _different_ _story._

That "you paid to be here" argument doesn't work tbh. If you can get the grade and knowledge you want while not showing up, you're not wasting money. I know some professors want to think their class is the most important thing in the universe, but many courses don't require much effort to do well in. It's not the student's fault if a class isn't particularly demanding. I even think attendance policies are dumb(in university). If a student can do well in a class while only showing up occasionally, why should they be punished?

He once did a demonstration on inertia where he carefully climbed onto a wheeled platform and then by shifting his body weight, could make the platform move. Problem: The floor in the lecture hall was not level and he ended up rolling out the door and into the hallway. I suspect he knew this would happen and did it for comedic effect, but it was still hilarious.

that physics teacher was a good teacher he clearly explained that when he released the ball the gravitational potential energy converts to kinetic energy as it swings down.
If you're interested in the proof: Energy is conserved in this system.. Therefore, E initial = E final. Using this, we can use the formula for kinetic translational energy K = 0.5(m)(v)^2 and set it equal to mgH (gravitational potential formula). H is the initial starting height. You can simplify this by canceling out m and g constants from both aides since they do not change. We are left with H = 0.5(v)^2 Therefore, v(velocity)will change based on the height but will never exceed the total output of gravitational potential energy.

Explain to me how you could do anything like this when learning 95% of the topics you learn in a physics degree. You need to learn from a textbook. It is the best way to learn. Most of the time, it is the only way to learn. Don't believe that 'you just forget it after the exam' bs either - it's not about your capacity to remember, it's about your capacity to have been able to learn it.
@@Michael-mh2tw I'm unsure what you're trying to say. Are you suggesting that lectures don't add anything? In my college classes, the quality and coherence of the professor was instrumental to my understanding of the material. Reading the textbook is one way to learn, but even though I like reading, math and physics textbooks are very dry, and my eyes tend to glaze over. It doesn't make sense to me unless someone walks me through it, preferably while drawing diagrams or graphs on a whiteboard. Taking notes is crucial. I was homeschooled in high school, and math was one subject where I fell behind, since I had no teacher and was just attempting to absorb information from textbooks. At community college I took an algebra course online where the professor was barely even existent, and I got a B (I had to watch Khan Academy videos on the side to pass). When I went to a university, my Trigonometry and Calculus teachers were very good, and I got an A in both classes. My physics professor was hard to understand, and I got a B (I really should have gotten a C, but he was a lenient grader).

Had one similar like 20 years ago, when he brought out the Van de Graaff I had the longest hair so knew I was up. He burst out laughing (and knew it was coming) after I stepped off the box and grounded my leg... Probably my favourite too TBH.
Did he also make a dangerous mess with broken glass?
@@veryslyfox luckily, with a tremendous amount of time and resources, modern science has been able to give us the broom
Application matters SO much in education. If you don't know how to apply knowledge in the real world there's no point in learning it to begin with.
Professor**
What a lucky group of students to have such a passionate teacher. They will never forget this man.
Thank you so much! I am in 8th grade right now and doing a science project. All of this information is really helping me put together a strong thesis for how pendulums can best simulate perpetual motion!
watching this years later and understanding every concept and formula is crazy to me, I'm glad he does visual examples I wish more physics teachers were like this instead of just doing a bunch of notes and then word problems

Do these experiments in your head try to understand what it means.
'' This man risked his life for PHYSICS '' You’re probably the best physics teacher out there. There should always be a way to learn something new in a fun way! ✨
He didn't risk anything.
@@snoop_diggity_dogg6059 if someone at the other end released the ball higher than that man’s height instead of releasing it in-front of himself like he did in the video then that ball would’ve obliterated his head. That’s what he was trying to explain, that you can’t make an object swing higher at the second point than the first point because that would be more energy than it was actually given
@@HouseOfWanda yea i think snoop dog was trying to say that he knew it wouldnt come back and hit him so there actually wasnt a risk
@@HouseOfWanda Does this actually answer anything about the other guy's comment?
@@snoop_diggity_dogg6059 He risked giving the ball a little bit of extra force before release, which would end up crushing his head.
Man I love your style. I threw a balloon into a fan the other day and it blew my mind when I learned (to a degree) what made it stay there. Now I’m teaching myself math to maybe go somewhere in that direction.
He's the teacher we all need.

Okay, but did he eat his nails without milk this morning?
we need more teachers like this
Balls of steel, a profound intellect and so much passion. Much respect!
We NEED more teachers like this. It makes the students actually WANT to learn. Instead of just making them stare at a piece of paper to remember things then forget them after their finals, it makes them want to learn about the topic, as what he did here was actually interesting.
we want more teachers who put their lives on the line yea
@@fromanaltreality1020 Are you being facetious? Probably.
You still need to memorize the various formulas, but at least you know what they actually are
It’s up to the kid if they want to learn. But yeah blame the teacher if your kid is a numbskull who has no future
@@Nooop655 wait till you find out others can influence your decision. If the teacher is shit ur not going to want to learn what he teaches but if its a good teacher its going to be your fav thing in school
That could've gone horribly wrong, but luckily he did incorporate the gravitational forces generated by his MASSIVE BALLS into this equation. Legend.
Wouldn't have gone wrong
No it could not- if he would not push the object- as he said.
You don't get it do you
Y'all must be fun at parties, lmao
Yeah imagine if the panel holding the object dislodged a little bit, sudden tremor/earthquake, badly managed cable, etc. Kudos to the guy though but nope! 😂
What an amazing video and an amazing teacher. You are the type of person who inspires and enriches the next generation. Great stuff!
This is the teaching style that enables the students full attention

I watch 5 year ago. This is the video that made me passionate about physics (one of the most difficult subjects) and from there I passed university thanks to physics, it pulled me through all other subjects. respect forever
wow everything about him is so endearing! his passion in teaching+ to this youtube channel to show the world how truly amazing physics can be!!
“Physics works and I’m still alive” gave me some nostalgic Portal vibes.
I had erased Portal from my memory!!!
lol, I was gonna comment saying "All this science and still alive - makes me want to play Portal!" but decided to check the comments first. Ah well, guess I'll just have some cake.
This next test applies the principles of momentum to movement through portals. If the laws of physics no longer apply in the future... *God bless you.*
teacher: "i might die" students: *laughs*
You are encouraging us very much to learn Physics. Thank you so much sir.
The world needs more great teachers ❤️
Love how the end screen with other videos comes up and almost covers the actual experiement.
I downloaded the video with KZhead downloader so I could watch it without the recommendations.
I have never forgiven KZhead for introducing that endscreen feature. I don't know how many years it's been and I don't care, I loathe and detest that thing and will continue doing so as long as it exists.
@@iiiiitsmagreta1240 you just keep touching the screen and it will disappear.
I absolutely love the squeal that is heard at the end of the presentation!!! Usually it’s a bit embarrassing and frowned upon to make noise during a teachers lecture, but it goes to show the true engagement you have made with your example of physics!! She just couldn’t help but make an anxious noise as you put your body on the line, and the whole room erupts with laughter because of it! Truly a presentation they will never forget, and from that, you’ve made an amazing difference in the world by making us smarter. ❤

If he is my prof, i would never skip a single class.
You shouldn't skip a single class in the first place since you paid for it and your goal is to pass all of your courses. Why would you even care if your professor is boring or not, you go to class, learn the objectives, study, pass exams, get the degree. Very straight forward
@@tam6493 how will u learn properly if u don't understand anything because the teacher just is a moron who don't know what proper learning is?
@@tam6493 I mostly agree with you, except for one little detail. When I was in college, I met quite a few of really useless professors. They talk, they show slides, they give homework. However, I knew this stuff will not get me ready for the exam, because what they teach in class is only 10% of the whole material. You can bombard them with emails, catch before the class, book the office hours, but it will work not always. If the professor is _determined_ not to work, he will continue feed you single-worded answers, like "it's all online", or "ask your peers", etc. I skipped classes deliberately when I knew I am not advancing anywhere by attending them. Instead of focusing on something I can read myself faster, I will better sleep or cover more stuff in a book. In most cases, my grades went up because of skipping a class. You don't pay only for the class. You pay for credits, exams, homework, and finally, the diploma itself. _But_ _that's_ _a_ _completely_ _different_ _story._
@@kilovolt2494 wow, thanks for the tips for when I go to college
@@tam6493 Not quite. You don't have to attend every class to get good grades. In many classes, reading the material on your own works just fine. Let's not pretend every class is quantum mechanics. That "you paid to be here" argument doesn't work tbh. If you can get the grade and knowledge you want while not showing up, you're not wasting money. I know some professors want to think their class is the most important thing in the universe, but many courses don't require much effort to do well in. It's not the student's fault if a class isn't particularly demanding. I even think attendance policies are dumb(in university). If a student can do well in a class while only showing up occasionally, why should they be punished?
Your lesson is my favorite! Thanks. great! ❤
My physics professor was like this guy, he was hilarious and always made this homework and test questions from various movie or tv show scenes and why the would or would not work. Back to the Future was his favorite movie since they just made up a unit of energy and rolled with it rather than trying to make it all “sorta” reality. But he also did pop quizzes over Back to the Future physics to make sure we watched his favorite movie

The true teacher can risk his life for one lesson.. that act is heroic
That is not herioc, that is just risking your life for a thing that can be done in other alternate ways
@@Ichigoyeager.exe1 and kids not able to understand anything
He did not risk his life, he has done this many times.. "students think i risk my life.." he said, "its a demonstration of physics
The risk was negligible. The biggest risk was him flinching into the ball. That is why he closed his eyes. I've done this experiment. It is very very difficult to not flinch.

He has a KZhead channel. You can go through it.
@@peakxv13 you're already hear bud
That literally got me but great lecture and beautiful explanation sir thank you so much ❤
Glad to hear that
Now look at this wonderful teacher
We had a physics professor who got around with the use of the old style crutches that have cuffs that clip to your wrists. He once did a demonstration on inertia where he carefully climbed onto a wheeled platform and then by shifting his body weight, could make the platform move. Problem: The floor in the lecture hall was not level and he ended up rolling out the door and into the hallway. I suspect he knew this would happen and did it for comedic effect, but it was still hilarious.
No he was just dumb
your physics professor sounds like an absolute legend
There was once an engineering professor who would throw himself at the safety glass windows in a very tall building to demonstrate that it won't crack or shatter because it's specially designed to withstand much more significant forces. This worked every time but once. The pane of glass remained perfectly intact but popped out of its case.

Would be so funny if he said “If it crushes me, please delete my search history”

the teacher is gutsy, brave,and intelligent obviously
Need a teacher like this bro, If i had a teacher like this Id top physics
He loves his subject so much it makes me cry.
I like how he applied the sample in a way so it is so unforgettable (like "risking his life" not really) that it sticks to your brain.
I bow down before courage and determination of this person in what he does and before his extreme devotion to his work! I know perfectly well that if I'd have such teacher from Physics in my school, probably I'd be a well-known scientist by now. God Bless You, Dear Teacher!

There was literally zero risk. It's science. Jeez.
@@finished6267 didnt you hear him say it relies on him giving it zero speed so there was a chance that he couldve been harmed
Even if it had touched him, almost all kinetic energy would have returned to potential by the time it did, therefore not passing on much in the way of pain.
Walter????
how do you know its a man?
His joke about it being his last lecture if he fails was such an extra bonus that it made it better
This guys makes me regret not going back to school he just makes you wanna learn something
Don't worry, that's not the kind of person you'd most likely encounter at school.
Right. Makes me to try to go through basics in free time, and practical application.
I love how he knew physics so well But he still had that fear knowing that it still won’t hit him 😂😂 Respect for this man
To be fair if he accidentally pushed it even a bit it’d kill him. It’s very easy to mess that up
As he said, he trusts physics 100%, but maybe not himself 100%. lol
@@Pikaman20008 depending of the strength of the push it may not kill him, he would be eating only soups from a straw for a couple of months, if not forever, though
I mean it seems terrifying lol. I would be the same way, I probably wouldn't even be able to go through with it haha
His biggest fear was that he accidentally push it which in turn would swing back at his face
Every student in that room will remember your lessons sir!! Salute!!
