In this video he is talking about the second law of motion and unlike the equation we use in class he uses the equation force equals mass multiplied by acceleration. He's using a red ball and a yellow ball and the red ball is heavier then the yellow ball. Therefore, they have a different mass. The force is the same and will be the same for both of the balls in the cannons with acceleration. You can physically see that the heavier ball was going far slower and lower than the yellow ball which was lighter. This proves that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass meaning the more mass the less acceleration and the less mass the more acceleration.
One good thing about this post is that you explained the equation and put into detail exactly what it means. I especially liked that you simplified it to display the relationship between mass and acceleration. One thing that could perhaps be better is mentioning the equation you use in class, as the vague mention of it leaves a reader wondering what it is. And if you were to add this you would have to explain the differences and similarities.
I love this video! Its the perfect length with just enough facts and a great experiment. Both of our resources are videos who mention the equation for Newton's Second Law. I cant think of anything to change except change the "he" throughout the beginning of your post to "the scientist" or another name.

ReplyDeleteOh one last thing! One difference between our resources, is that while mine was a podcast while your resource was a video.
