I just came back here to comment that I am really grateful to watched your videos when I self review for my board exam because it really help me a lot. And because of that, I passed the board exam today. THANK YOU PROFESSOR DAVE 💕
Really helpful video. Really wish you could correct the tiny mistakes right at the end - the screen behind you uses the word motion when it should be acceleration in a couple of places. Your explanation is all spot on, thank you.
Thank you so much for these videos! You explain things so well and you make it engaging and interesting. I can never focus well in my physics lectures and the labs are an absolute joke. Your videos are a huge help because you explain things quickly and concisely and you're enthusiastic. I have a math professor like that too and everyone loves him. Sadly, my physics professor just doesn't know how to be concise or engaging in the slightest. I wish you were teaching my class. :)
Newton's first law is often overlooked when discussing rocket propulsion, especially when debunking claims that rockets won't work in space. This is often claimed by people who say rockets won't work in space because they have nothing to "push against". What rockets "push against" in space is the inertial mass of their own propellants. The propellants, as is the case with anything with mass, want to remain at their current velocity due to inertia. Therefore, when a rocket engine accelerates the propellants in one direction against their inertial mass an equal and opposite reaction force is created in the opposite direction to accelerate the rocket.
The enertia means the ultimate absence of ALL forces and since you believe that this true then this contradicts the existence of any gravitational force once the rocket leaves the earth. However you don't believe that and you do believe that the rocket will still be effected by earth's gravity as the rocket going towards the moon and therefore you need propellant force to keep the rocket going towards the moon and not to get pulled down by the small gravitational force of the earth. That's my 50 cents moon landing is a silly narrative
@@TheIsmaelIsaac There is nothing contradictory or silly at all. Inertia is simply a well known physical characteristic of all matter that causes it to remain in a uniform state of motion unless it is acted upon by a force. In the case of a rocket going to the moon it must initially be accelerated by a rocket engine to a high enough speed to get it out of earth's orbit and have it acquire sufficient momentum to coast outbound and at least cross into the moon's gravitational sphere of influence. The initial speed required for this is about 25,000 MPH, which is attained through one single initial rocket burn to break out of earth orbit. Then the vehicle simply coasts outward on its way to the moon using the momentum it acquired during the burn. During the coasting period the earth's gravity does continuously slow it down to where it arrives at the moon traveling only at about 5,000 MPH. Then slowing it down further with an another engine burn it will drop to around 3,000 MPH and place it into lunar orbit.
@@joevignolor4u949 Sorry my friend, you are wrongly assuming after the release of the propeller rocket engines the spacecraft will keep going upward. But this isn't true becuase after the release of propelling rocket you have canceled out one the two forces that were acting upon the rocket which is the thrust force and now the acting force upon the mass (weight) of the spacecraft is the drag down gravity of the earth .. I want you to imagine this, it's like you're driving you car up the hill and sped up 200 mph then you shut off the engine ... what would you imagine is going to happen? Would the car keep going upward or the gravity is going to pull it downwards? There you have it, guys ... That why I was telling you the rocket will not reach the momentum acceleration until all forces aplied upon it are cancelled out. So for apollo to reach the inertia acceleration you must completely cancel out the gravity force that acting upon it. And what goes up must come down, as simple as that.
@@TheIsmaelIsaac If the car is going fast enough and has sufficient upward momentum when you shut off the engine it will continue moving due to its inertia and it will eventually reach the top of the hill. Gravity will slow it down some as it continues upward but it won't stop it immediately. In space its even easier because there is no friction or aerodynamic drag to contend with. In Apollo the third stage of the Saturn V gave the spacecraft sufficient upward momentum to leave earth orbit and continue climbing up and away. Gravity did slow it down as it traveled out to the moon but it still had enough upward momentum to take it to the point in space when the moon's gravity took over and started to pull it down towards the moon. That's how it happened. Its really as simple as that.
I wasn't really interested in this back wuen my teacher was explaining at but i got perfect scores. Few years have passed and i only remember the 3rd law because i remember teaching it to my classmate. But now, Everything is so much easier to understand that i am interested in it and i see why it's important.
Such an amazing explanation I had ever seen😊😊😊😊🙏you did wonderful job am a civil engineering student but I didn't understand what's inertia.... Mass is a quantitative measurement of an object's inertia wonderful.......

Professor Dave Sir, Yor topics are top-leveled and that's why raising my concern to you. l am studying for "National Eligibility Test" examination, and want to crack up to top rank, I want to clear my basics and then would like to move advance topics. Can you suggest me top books for physics, to gain deep knowledge for Classical Mech., Quantum Mech., Electrodynamics, Mathematical Physics, Atomic Spectra, Thermodynamics, etc? How to increase interest in Physics? I can provide you whole syllabus too, give me some guidance.
Kilograms are the SI unit of inertia. Newton's 1st law is an example of equilibrium, specifically static equilibrium, as there are other kinds of equilibrium (e.g. thermal equilibrium), that are unrelated to Newton's 1st law.
i wonder if there is an object on earth that doesn't have friction. But even if it doesn't have friction, The moving object on it will still stop moving due to the force that is pulling objects down (Gravity)

Hi Professor Dave, Thank you for making these videos and educating everyone! I have a question about the ships you were talking about at 3:48. If the cruise ship hits a rock, will it be correct to say the cruise ship will stop, because of the rock's inertia? What happens if the cruise ship's mass was more than the rock's mass? Thank you again for taking the time to create these videos!
i would say that's pretty much accurate! the rock's inertia prevents it from being displaced. if the ship had more mass, that would eventually change, but of course it depends on the specific rock and the specific ship.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Besides inertia you also need to consider how well the rock is anchored into the sea floor. Using an iceberg instead of a rock provides a cleaner example. When a ship hits an iceberg the two will rebound away from each other. How much each object moves away after the rebound depends on their relative masses, which determines their relative inertias. For the Titanic this was very unfortunate because you also have to consider how much impact damage will occur to each object during the collision.
This means that mass is the measure of inertia and that mass itself is not constant (mass changes based upon speed). A bullet fired from a gun probably has more mass than a canonball at rest.
Well, there is certainly such a thing as relativistic mass, but things have to be traveling an appreciable fraction of the speed of light for it to be significant, so it would definitely not apply to a bullet.
inertia is the resistance to acceleration, which is cancelled out by the stronger gravitational attraction. that's why things fall at the same rate in a vacuum. check out my tutorial on newton's law of universal gravitation.
When a wheel is rotating and finally it will stop . Here external force is friction..whether rolling friction is depending on area of contact ? can you please explain ?
I know it's a stupid question but what about the trouble of moving a spaceship close to the speed of light? Is all that trouble just about the velocity close to the earth? Like I do kinda know this, like I know why fuel in dropped when spaceships leave the orbit but like is this it? Is that the whole problem?
Its to do with energy requied E= mc2 the closer to the speed of light you get you need exponentially more energy to achieve the speed, to achieve light speed would require infinite energy.
This, and all Prof Dave videos, are excellent. Top notch. Must pick one tiny nit here however: "if net force is not zero, there will be motion" is not technically true, as a tossed ball at its peak will attest. I know what you mean - that there will be motion on either side of some instant, however the instantaneous speed can still be zero. The term "motion" is somewhat vague in that case. Perhaps "changing motion?" More than a few students have been tripped up by this. It is really the second law that tells us what happens when there is a net force, i.e. an acceleration.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains I certainly understand that. I'm taking (IIRC) about near the end where the above quote is on the screen, although you say "acceleration" in place of motion. My students equate the term "motion" with velocity (rightfully). A net force does not mean the instantaneous velocity can't be zero. I guess it's the interpretation of the phrase "no motion" that's fuzzy. Thanks for the reply, and all the videos.
do Fast-moving objects have more inertia than slow-moving objects with the same mass? I noticed that fast-moving objects are harder to stop than slow-moving objects with the same mass. Does velocity affect inertia? I would really appreciate an explanation. thank u
No, the inertia of an object depends solely on its mass, not its speed. Inertia is the property of an object that resists changes in its state of motion. The equation for inertia (I) is given by: I=m where: I is the inertia, m is the mass of the object. In this equation, mass is the only factor affecting inertia. It doesn't matter how fast or slow the object is moving; as long as the mass remains constant, the inertia remains the same.
Sir could you please do a video on center of gravity? I just don't get the physical meaning of it. If you have already done a video please send me the link.
Center of gravity is a weighted average location of all the weight of a body. Such that if you support it at that point, the torques due to gravity of the entire distribution of weight, will add up to zero, and it won't rotate. Support directly above this point, and it won't rotate either. You can find the center of gravity of an irregular shape by hanging it from multiple locations, and drawing a plumb line straight down from the support. Where the plumb lines intersect, is where the center of gravity is located. This term is often used interchangeably with the term center of mass. Center of mass is a weighted average position of all the masses in a body, that ignores the gravitational field as it adds up the terms that define center of mass. Add up mass multiplied by the position vector from a reference point for every individual mass, and then divide by total mass. This turns into an integral for continuous distributions of mass. As long as the gravitational field is uniform, they are interchangeable terms, which is most commonly the case for our purposes on this planet. But center of mass is the concept that is gravity-agnostic, and doesn't depend on the gravitational field. A non-uniform gravitational field would change the center of gravity, but not the center of mass.
As I am watching this, a gigantic cargo ship is blocking the Suez Canal, and has brought world commerce to a standstill. This mighty motorized vessel was blown off course by the wind! CHECKMATE PHYSICS
Theoretically yes. Let's say a large celestial object were to appear from somewhere and enter into the solar system. Let's also say it has the same mass as the earth and is traveling the at the same speed but in the opposite direction. Because both objects are of the same mass and are traveling at the same speed they would both have the same amounts of inertia, but in the opposite direction. Then if they were to collide head on both objects would simply try to stop dead in space. Of course they would also be blown apart by the impact. Because of the collision the remnants would have no orbital velocity so the sun's gravity would easily pull all that material inward and both objects would eventually just disappear into the sun.
An object might float or not and it again depends on the mass, except when we have water we usually talk about density, that is mass per volume. So the force will affect water much more than it will affect the denser object falling in, so the water will move out of its way. And it depends on the surface area too, because then there can be more force acting on it. Check out pressure and buoyancy. I hope I didn't forget something of basic importance and I hope you have a nice day
Subtle mistake in this video: Momentum is what makes you keep moving when your car stops, not inertia. Inertia is resistance to CHANGE of velocity, it's what you feel when you STAY in the car (and press against the seatbelts when breaking or against the seat when accelerating. It's a mass's resistance to accelerate when acted on by a force.
Yes, resistance to change in velocity, which is why the velocity of the person stays the same as they fly through the windshield. Momentum is just velocity times mass.
Professor dave, I think if you meet someone by the name of TheOdd1out on youtube, also look him up if you dont know him, I think you two would have fun talking about always wearing your seatbelt. :D
@@ProfessorDaveExplains If we could figure that out exactly we probably would also understand gravity as well. Then we could retire and enjoy sitting on a nice beach somewhere letting our mass and corresponding inertia keep us at rest there all day long.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Actually, after a bit more investigation, it turns out that both pronunciations are correct. Depending on how classic you define classic you can stick with either :) (In the era of Newton it would defenetly be - chee - and in the roman era it would be - kee - (or harder))

Is there's a unbalance force which can stop the earth from revolving around the sun?
Theoretically yes. Let's say a large celestial object were to appear from somewhere and enter into the solar system. Let's also say it has the same mass as the earth and is traveling the at the same speed but in the opposite direction. Because both objects are of the same mass and are traveling at the same speed they would both have the same amounts of inertia, but in the opposite direction. Then if they were to collide head on both objects would simply try to stop dead in space. Of course they would also be blown apart by the impact.

Shouldn't be the object be in Uniform Motion?
When an object touch water it exert gravitional force..than where the water opposite same force as newton third law?
An object might float or not and it again depends on the mass, except when we have water we usually talk about density, that is mass per volume. So the force will affect water much more than it will affect the denser object falling in, so the water will move out of its way. And it depends on the surface area too, because then there can be more force acting on it. Check out pressure and buoyancy.

Thanks! Really helpful video, have subbed
u nailed it
thank you science Jesus
great work sir .your lecture really help me!
Good
Subtle mistake in this video: Momentum is what makes you keep moving when your car stops, not inertia. Inertia is resistance to CHANGE of velocity, it's what you feel when you STAY in the car (and press against the seatbelts when breaking or against the seat when accelerating. It's a mass's resistance to accelerate when acted on by a force.
Yes, resistance to change in velocity, which is why the velocity of the person stays the same as they fly through the windshield. Momentum is just velocity times mass.
Professor dave, I think if you meet someone by the name of TheOdd1out on youtube, also look him up if you dont know him, I think you two would have fun talking about always wearing your seatbelt. :D
oh ur doing the science work too
Haha given the greater context of Dave's channel, I find all of the people here praising "God" and not "Dave" to be unbearably ironic.
Hello Professor Dave
I have a question regarding your inertia
Do electrons have inertia
hmm, well i think that anything with mass has inertia, so yes i believe they should!
Thank you so much
thank you
But why do objects have "inertia"?
it's a property of matter! to get deeper than that we have to talk about higgs bosons and other things i don't really know much about.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains If we could figure that out exactly we probably would also understand gravity as well. Then we could retire and enjoy sitting on a nice beach somewhere letting our mass and corresponding inertia keep us at rest there all day long.
thank you very much helped I was forced by my tutor
shout out to mr kennedy
Why the hell did Callie from Grey's Anatomy came to mind? Always wear your seatbelts and don't argue on the road with your lover, folks.
thanks dave
In classical Latin it's "Prin-chee-pia", not "Prin-kee-pia".
It's "prin-KIP-eea", as I pronounced it. In Latin, C's are a hard sound.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Actually, after a bit more investigation, it turns out that both pronunciations are correct. Depending on how classic you define classic you can stick with either :)
(In the era of Newton it would defenetly be - chee - and in the roman era it would be - kee - (or harder))
if u see this guy walking down the road you may think he is that bully, bad guy till you see his tattoo, what a nerdy way to find someone being nerd
