      we had a chemistry teacher that was quite exited. One time the entire class met outside where a big pot of heated oil was standing on a fire. He added water to the oil and as the oil was mixed with the water vapor, the oxygen/fuel ratio made it combustable, nice 5m flames.

      One of my professors, demonstrating so called skin effect, gave his body electrical voltage of 40,000 volts. He held in his hand fluorescent lamp, which shone. It did a great impression on the students.

      This is why it's important that we reserve the privilege of teaching to people who are highly educated in the field they're to teach. In order to be an effective communicator, you must completely understand the material you're communicating, in order to take into account the many facets of the subject when analogising and relating, to make it both accurate and understandable.
      If we're going to entrust people to arm the next generation with the tools they need to survive and improve upon our work, we should at least make sure they know their shit, and how to teach it...

      +Teth47 i agree to some degree. This physics lesson can be taught simply with a swing set and potential energy.

    • @Teth47
      @Teth47 7 років тому +1

      An Assault Rifle Yeah, but the person doing the teaching must know what they're talking about so that they can properly and concisely explain it, as well as answer tough questions the students will undoubtedly have.

    As a physics major, his stress about giving the ball “0 speed” like his life was on the line was brilliant. His life wasn’t in danger, but now the students will remember that if he started it with velocity then it can return at a higher height. Brilliant trick my friend.

    • @khmocha5713
      @khmocha5713 4 роки тому +8

      nikhil chavan Potential energy is the amount of energy at a given height if it was to be released. The potential energy is given by the formula MGH or mass of the object times the gravity of acceleration times the given height. When the potential energy is released, it is then converted to kinetic energy because the energy is now in motion. The conservation of energy states that the potential energy initially will always be equally to the Kinetic energy. If you let an object fall 5 meters above, the potential energy will always equal to the kinetic energy when it is released in EXCEPTION to friction of air or other external factors. In this experiment however, the object is tied to a string, the string acts like a type of force known as tension that keeps the object from falling. This tension is also known as the centripetal force, which causes the objects to move in a circular motion as seen here as Potential energy converts to kinetic. When the object tied to the string is released from a given height, it transfer to kinetic energy and eventually reaches a point in the other end where it stops. The kinetic energy is now back to potential energy, and theoretically, this potential energy should equal to the initial potential energy when it was released. However, it’s not because air friction and gravity are some examples of external factors that slows down the speed and takes away the kinetic energy of the object. So as the object attempts travels back to its original point, it will always end up at a height lower than its original height,; thus, it will decrease in MGH.

      As long as the piece of earth the professor is standing on doesn't drop six inches, he should be okay. As far as the pendulum goes, I believe nothing would change because you would have to convey the energy from the earthquake to the ball, and the cord is not able to convey that much energy because it is too small, and probably not dense enough either.
      Okay physics professors, tell me if I thought this out correctly!

    • @Altobrun
      @Altobrun 7 років тому +10

      air resistance and friction tend not to be taught at a university/highschool level for kinetics because the students should first learn to understand the fundamentals before learning about secondary effects; these will be introduced at a more advanced level or be used as more advanced problems for testing.
      Also I am unsure where you live that teaches this level of physics in grade 5 but in Canada this is a grade 11+ area of study, with the physics in lower grades being focused around electricity, and optics (science itself focus' on chemistry and biology for younger years, I assume since physics requires a greater knowledge of mathematics).
      In addition this lecture could very well be an introduction to physics for arts programs or any number of low level science elective for people who will not be using it for the rest of their education nor their career.

    Didn't make it back to his chin. Friction is a harsh mistress.

      air resistance

      not friction.

      Which is pretty much friction, anything else is just semantics. It's the friction caused by the air particles when an object slides over them. It's an oversimplification but air resistance is a form of friction

      lol air resistance is based on friction

    I had a teacher just like this. He was called Mr Marsh and was Einstein-like. Loved his lessons.

    IF the wire snapped at the perfect moment as it was coming back toward his face, he would also die. Pretty risky.

      Immediately prior to the hover is heavy, and still aimed at his face. Any number of things could go wrong with the wire.The fastnings on the roof or the ball could come loose for example. Anyway, its unlikely, but still possible.

      Nope, it would hit his chest at a few kph. Not deadly.

      I'm sure it was tested many times before hand to make sure that would not happen.

    Great demonstration. I think also that friction and air resistance serve to expend some of the initial potential energy such that the pendulum weight can never, in the real world, attain its original height during subsequent swings.
