Newton's Laws: Crash Course Physics #5

Spread The Viralist



I’m sure you’ve heard of Isaac Newton and maybe of some of his laws. Like, that thing about “equal and opposite reactions” and such. But what do his laws mean? And how do they help us understand the world around us? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about just that.

  1. The lift part had me lost. What in the world are those small E and C under the bigger letters lol.. elastic and central or sth? I am not the brightest.

  2. So in your example with the puck if I hit the puck towards the direction the earth is spinning towards me then the puck distance should be impacted vs hitting the puck in the direction the earth spins. However, it goes the same distance either way? I'm not sure there is proof gravity exists, it appears to be weight that creates force not gravity. This is why gravity is not applicable in high sense and low dense.
