Positive Comments
Sometimes I share positive comments I receive for my Flipping Physics videos. Today I share. Here are comments I have received this month: - "You are the reason I'm passing my college physics course. I've taken pages of notes on your videos and I wish I would've watched you sooner back when I was struggling with projectile motion a couple months ago. How do you not have tens of thousands of views? You deserve so much love and respect." codyriceandothers - "Probably the best moment of inertia explanation I’ve seen and I finally understand it. So grateful for people like you" campinglamp - "you are a m a z i n g. i wish i had you as a teacher at school. anyway... i suppose i can say that you are my teacher now, and a better one than any of those that i ever had! i am so glad i have found your channel, i want to be able to one day to say to myself that i've learned everything you had to teach in all of your videos, because i really want to s
Introductory Rotational Form of Newton's Second Law Problem
New Video ! You gotta start simple, before the physics gets more difficult.
I learned quite a bit!
Thank you to all of the attendees to my various presentations over the last two days! I really enjoyed presenting about Flipped and Gameful Learning. But I especially enjoyed spending time training physics teachers! It was really cool to get to learn from you as we learned together. 😀
A+ College Ready Science Fall Conference
Heading to Birmingham, AL to present at the A+ College Ready 2 Day Science Fall Conference. That’s right, I’ll be teaching physics teachers how to teach AP Physics 1! 😇 What do you think the chances are that my bag was manually searched?
Demonstrating Rotational Inertia (or Moment of Inertia)
Have you ever struggled to describe Rotational Inertia to your students? Even worse, have you ever struggled to understand Rotational Inertia yourself. (I know I have. 😇) Did you know Rotational Inertia is the same as Moment of Inertia? Yeah, I’m with you there. I did not know the name had been changed until recently. However, I do think Rotational Inertia is a more logical phrase than Moment of Inertia. Well, if you would like some help with the concept of Rotational Inertia, then I highly suggest the Rotational Inertia Demonstrator from Arbor Scientific because it is an easy way to demonstrate the concept of rotational inertia. The demonstrator is composed of three pulleys of different sizes all centered around the same axle. Attached to the pulleys are four spokes on which four masses can be placed. The distance from the axle, or axis of rotation, of the four masses on the spokes can be adjusted. In order to understand rotational inertia, we should first review the equati
