Flipping Physics Blog

My daughter and her friends dressed up as The Flipping Physics crew for halloween!

My family pushes on a door so you can learn about net torque.

Don’t be too cool for the right hand rule .

A wrench is a simple way to learn about  torque .

Through natural, slow attrition, the number of people who are currently on my Quality Control Team is a bit low. So, if you would enjoy having influence over the creating of Flipping Physics videos, please visit . Right now there are FIVE scripts just waiting for you to read them and leave helpful comments on the Google Doc! I'd like to film by Monday. So it would be lovely if you could do so soon. Thanks!

Yep, it's time to introduce the concept of torque !

Last Sunday I posted this video and received lots of wonderful words of encouragement and only one person who said they would do what I have requested. Understand that I appreciate your words of thanks, however, what I really need right now is for people to share their words of thanks via video. The reason I would really like this is so I can create a montage of y’all saying great things about Flipping Physics. This will encourage other people to view the videos and I will, hopefully, less often hear “I wish I had found Flipping Physics earlier!” I know there are many of you who have learned copiously from my videos. All I am asking in return is that you film yourself saying thanks and send that in to me. Please. I could really use your help. Thanks. - mr.p #APPhysics1 #APPhysicsC #AAPT #PhysicsED

Perhaps imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If so, this is a lovely piece of flattery. Here is a video created by some AP Physics 1 students last year. Note the three characters and socks. I make a special appearance at about the 8 minute and 10 second mark. Thanks for sharing Kaitlyn!
