Motion in a Straight Line: Crash Course Physics #1

Spread The Viralist



In this, THE FIRST EPISODE of Crash Course Physics, your host Dr. Shini Somara introduces us to the ideas of motion in a straight line. She talks about displacement, acceleration, time, velocity, and the definition of acceleration. Also, how does a physicist discuss speed as opposed to a police officer? And did you deserve that ticket? You can figure it all out with the help of Physics!

  1. I'm remembering why the only class I ever flunked was high school physics. But I'm older now. So I will loop this until I get it. Cause that's how we get revenge on the high school teachers that flunk us.

  2. Thanks crash course 🥰🥰
    The way you explain is very easy to understand, after reading the ch I really was very confused, but after watching this I feel like I am in ❤"love" ❤🥰 with physics.

  3. I might be a freakin millionaire engineer one day and i will always comeback to crash course and how it helped me more than my professors ever did

  5. "Have you ever been in a car where the driver slams on the brakes?
    That feeling of bumping your head against the glovebox is deceleration."
