Flipping Physics Blog

Every spring I hear the same thing from many AP Physics C students, “Why did I not find your videos earlier?” Please help spread the word so more students find my videos earlier in the year. Let’s help more people learn physics!

Understanding Longitudinal and Transverse Waves, Wavelength, and Period using Graphs

My videos keep getting more complicated. This still frame from the video I am working on has more than 100 layers.

Introduction to Waves

For the last video on a topic I try to do a demonstration and solve a problem which is a bit more difficult than average. I am quite proud of this last video about Rotational Dynamics .

Another batch of Flipping Physics tie-dyes have been created for you. New this year I did a few “Golf” style t-shirts like mr.p wears. If you want one of those, be sure to order soon!

That’s correct. The summer hiatus is over! Point Particle with Rigid Object Collision Conservation of Angular Momentum Demonstration and Problem

It’s hard to let go of a video idea that seems like such a good idea … but does not work.

Today I am honored and humbled to be able to present to you an amalgamation of all the “Thank You” videos submitted by students and teachers. Thank you to all of you.

Are Linear and Angular Momentum Conserved for a Satellite ?

This is the LAST CALL for video submissions for my “ Share Your Flipping Physics Story ” challenge. I’d love to have more of you join these fine people who have already submitted. You have until Wednesday, June 12. Thank you to all of you who have already submitted! - mr.p

I am changing to this new tie-dye pattern for my annual summer Flipping Physics tie-dye creations. This year I am going to try to do a pre-order, on the idea that I can get more of the right shirt sizes. If you would be interested in purchasing one for $40, please visit my " swag " page and fill out the Google Form. Also, I am considering making some Golf T-shirts like mr.p wears. I’ve never sold them before, but I think there might be a few of you who would be interested. Let me know in the Google Form.

What are the Equations for Kinetic Energy and Angular Momentum of a Point Particle Moving in a Circle?

Thank you to the Mamaroneck Physics Class that submitted their video!  If you are planning to give back by saying “Thank You” in a video, please do so soon!

Common Point Particle Angular Momentum Triangle

Thank you to the two more groups of students who have submitted videos!  It would be lovely if you could participate as well, eh!

Angular Momentum of Particles Introduction

Thank you to the physics students at Weiss High School who submitted the first group video !

A big THANK YOU to Zain Raza for being the first to submit a video for my project . Would you like to help me out as well?

Acceleration of a Wheel descending on a Rope ( Energy Solution )

5 Days til the AP Physics C Exams! (Need some free review videos? )

I am hoping to make a video which stars all of you talking about how Flipping Physics has helped you and/or your students learn physics. Please, share your Flipping Physics story ! A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Roth and her students for us started on this project and wish me luck!

I thought y'all might enjoy seeing what my office looked like today.

It's a good day when you hit 40,000 YouTube subscribes. Thanks y'all!

Acceleration of a Wheel descending on a Rope ( Torque Solution )

A rope is wrapped around a bicycle wheel . The wheel is released from rest and allowed to descend without slipping as the rope unwinds from the wheel. While descending, does the center of the wheel move straight down, toward the left, or toward the right?

Merry-Go-Round - Conservation of Angular Momentum Problem

Wheel Conservation of Angular Momentum Demonstration  and Solution

In case you missed it, Ken Bauer was kind enough to interview me about my Asynchronous Flipped Gameful Master Learning classroom for his " Ask the Flipped Learning Network " podcast. Our conversation also evolved in to a pretty cool discussion of educational pedagogy. Thanks for having me on your show Ken!

Conservation of Angular Momentum  Introduction and Demonstrations

Ali Mattu of The Psych Show was gracious enough to include me, and many others, in his video “ The Struggles Of Being A YouTuber: Mental Health ”. Please enjoy … and realize I am posting this from a hotel room while on vacation with my family. One of the struggles of being a YouTuber.

Angular Momentum of a Rigid Object with Shape Introduction

Ali Mattu of The Psych Show is working on a project about YouTube creators and mental health. He was kind enough to ask me to contribute a video perspective of my own. On his encouragement, I am publishing my full answer to his question, “How does creating YouTube videos affect your mental health?” Hopefully this will help y’all gain some perspective on what I do! Thanks. -mr.p p.s. I’ll be sure to share his video when it is completed.

Excited because today’s new video is part of a We Create Edu playlists about “First”. Which Will Be First? (Rolling Down an Incline)

Frequency vs. Period in Simple Harmonic Motion

Rolling Without Slipping Introduction and Demonstrations

Here is an animated gif to whet your appetite for this Sunday’s new video. Any guesses as to what the video will be about?
