    This guy deserves more views. I've gone back to University after teaching ESOL overseas for 10 years, and COMPLETELY lost in physics coz they teach like we remember all the basics out of highschool. This is so simple and easy to understand, and thorough (for such a basic overview style).
    Cheers mate, I'll turn my addblock off on your vids.

    I'm a college freshman student and I'm about to take the very first physics course in my life. I never took physics in high school and I dropped math eventually.
    I was thankfully able to understand the differences between vectors and scalars from this video, as well as trigonometry. Calculating vector components sounds a bit complicated to me though. I still have an interest in astronomy and physics, and this channel is helping me understand the main concepts of my classical physics class. Just currently praying that this class won't end up in disaster for me.
    Thanks Dave.

    At 8:00 Prof Dave made a mistake. According to how the question was asked, if the boat is travelling upstream at 4 m/s and there is a current of 1m/s downstream then his resultant velocity would be 3 m/s upstream. The question said nothing about the boat travelling perpendicular to the current. I realise that travelling across the river might imply from bank to bank but this would be an assumption.

    • @ttineyastrana4353
      @ttineyastrana4353 3 роки тому +3

      Yea I got confused too, but eventually realized he meant crossing the river and not traveling along with the river. Crossing from one side to the other, hence pushing the boat to the side and not backwards. Looks like in physics you *really* need to be on point taking things into account
