Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Here because you cant understand tension in online classes? cause same:(

[@sajdahamad9980]

great explanation thanks. would be even better if you used numbers.

[@sobreaver]

Sweet, such clear explanations of physics. I don't mind physics, I am just not used to think in physics but you make it clear to conceptualize and now I can start working on programming forces in my actionscript project ! Thanks a lot ! =]

[@jeddeius8640]

Without this video, I wouldn't understand tension. Thank you, great help!

[@Celicaw8]

Thank you for the clear explanation

[@MarcJensan]

I am a bit confused. Wouldn't you add the absolute value of the opposing force, as this already has a negative sign and would decrease the sum of the forces pulling on the rope?

[@irabond969]

best explanation! thanks

[@husnearamahbuba5161]

Nice video..very helpful

[@manasshukla2808]

Great!

[@antaresrepublic]

Thank youuu very much!!

[@Mr_Public]

Which software do u use

[@fzrynsha]

what a clear explanation plus some funny jokes hahaha thankyou anyways !

[@arlieferguson3990]

So only the horizontal component matters when it comes to the tension force at an angle. Seems kind of arbitrary unless you already know that the horizontal force will win out --or so it appears to me.

[@virupannamedikinal]

Thank you so much

[@abu_3abd329]

thanks a lot 😍

[@yashpatel-ij8de]

You are legend

[@biaralier7790]

😂pple fighting for cheese
Coz the hungry
Anyway great explanation

[@rishecks]

never pull at an angle boys

[@testmode1751]

i am actually shocked that someone thinks that they can push with a rope.

[@hydersunfearless2519]

exam tension :(((

[@pickle_256]

Lol so weird
Since acceleration causes gravity which is not a force but yet we treat gravity as a force but not acceleration

[@leebeegeok3146]

Hmmm but i think that acceleration is caused by gravity because there got a term called acceleration due to the gravity or gravitational acceleration😅😅 .Beside that, we just cn move the object or accelerates it by applying a force.
