I'm really excited to watch the artistic gymnastics competition this year. I'd like to hear about the flipping and twisting stunts that gymnasts perform on all of the apparatuses. Love you videos, thanks! :)
Please come to Liverpool for the day. It's only a few hours on the train from London and it's super cool. I would really enjoy discussing physics with you and showing you the brilliant both scientific and creative sites!
Discus throw,Shot Put and Pole vault(where one jumps over a certain height using a stick perpendicular to the ground).
Appreciate it,
Ishan
Please visit the science museum and give us a run-down on some of the exhibits - I haven't been to that place for quite a few years but it's awesome!
The physics behind archery! My two great loves in one video.
please do it on gymnastics. The momentum enertia and other smart words all need to be used to do those flips and land perfectly still. Blows my mind!
I would like to know about gymnastics, most definitely, please! Oh and possibly synchronized swimming. Those two always amazes me.
The fact that you're working with Derek is all I need.
I would like to see some physics for components of an action. For example, a series of videos talking about the physics of a 100m dash, the first talking about the forces of muscle fibers and how much force and compression the bones undergo coming out of the box, the next video discussing the state of the body as it runs (internal forces, shock absorption, acceleration, etc) and another at top speed, discussing wind resistance and why it's top speed, another on slowing down...
As a passionate Fencer (Sabre is my weapon), viewer, and physics major I would love it if you did something on the sport. I feel as if it under represented in the olympics even though it is both a classic and timeless sport of honor. Thanks!
Do crazy track events like the steeple chase and decathalon! And swimming! And gymnastics!
And since you ran in high school, you just got bonus points for my favorite youtuber!
Tower of London, London Dungeon, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben - all are awesome
The hydrodynamics of swimming!! I'm a high school swimmer and I feel like a video explaining how it works will make me a lot better!
I hope to see all of you guys there!
Could you do a video on reaction time and how it affects track and swimming racers? Getting that good jump and all.
Weightlifting (clean&jerk and the snatch). It portraits a lot of physics, especially inertia, momentum, center of mass, symmetry, etc. Plus, it's an awesome sport !
I don't know if fluid dynamics can be explained in this kind of time frame but he's surprised me before. Good suggestion.
skeet shooting !!!! their reaction times are spectacular
Physics of Rowing (they are surprisingly complicated with the sliding seat) and try to visit the royal society, it's not far from pricdelly, but no one seams to know about it, it was fun to visit when I was in London.
swimming and/or diving physics! it's awesome!
I don't know if you anything about soccer but there was a huge thing during the 2010 World Cup on the affect caused by the soccer ball. Players said it would spin and dip unpredictably in the air, especially in high altitudes.
There's also the physics on what makes the "impossible goal" (goals scored from the worst angle possible) possible
DIVING! There are so many aspects you can talk about... aerodynamics, centrifugal force, the forces on the diving board etc.
Depends mainly on the suspension set up and center of mass of that specific model.
POLE VAULT!!!! that event is soo sick, i'd love to see the physics behind it
Skeet shotgun shooting, determine how the shells projecticles split and travel wider and slow down and what the optimum range for skeet shooting is, is it the current distance or further away for more spray? Also the last station, what is the best techique.
How does it help to limit the size of the splash in diving by entering the water with the palms facing the water flat rather than entering with the the palms together (praying-style) with the fingers pointed at the water?
You are awesome! Have fun!
Sweet, Henry was an athlete in High School. Good to know there are more nerd/sport types. I guess I am not the only one.
Because of the spin and the fact that it's travelling forwards in one direction, on one side of the ball there will be a higher pressure than normal, whilst on the other there will be a lower pressure than normal, resulting in the ball veering off in this direction.
how much delay has a horde while you are running?
how does pole vault works?
How about all the physics in track and difference between sprinting and distance
or maybe projectile motion on shot putt or javelin throws?
or maybe the intro to the concepts of linear momentum and impulse with tennis?
or maybe an intro to nuclear reactions with billard balls?
Comment on the physics of spear trowing or 100 meter dash
is there going to be a meetup? because that would be so awesome :D
I noticed in the boat racing the boats decelerated a bit right before the paddlers put the oars back in the water due to the ends of the oars causing air resistance. could you collaborate on that?
I would like to know about the physics of the pole-vault. Being a vaulter, it would be handy to know exactly what forces would maximize height or improve technique.
could you do the physics behind badminton ?
i recommend taking a river tour its so awesome
Rowing. How much of the propulsive force is pushing water, and how much is levering the boat against the static water.
in running, is it better to take alot of shorter steps, or longer steps.
I totally agree with those suggesting the gymnasts. The human body is amazing and to add all aspects of physics would be incredible!! PS My 3 year old and I love your videos. He asks me everyday if a new video is ready. Keep making them!!!
How much force is exerted into the ground from the foot when someone is running at top speed?
Explain the differences and the history of the different names of the area you are visiting.
Disc trowing please, i'd like to know how spining around itself helps to cut the air or if it really doesn't
Very excited!
Streamlining in swimming. What is the best way your body can be in the water in order to be more efficient?
Something about drafting and aerodynamics in cycling. Not a lot of people seem to realise its significance in road and track cycling and how it explains why the tactics are very different to running races.
How Long To Travel Here To London By the Speed Of Light Or A Car Or Anything?
I would like to know which forces are involved in the different sports and how some of the athletes seem to defy gravity.
@IceMetalPunk How many basketball courts do you think there are in London?
football, the motion of the ball through the air/how to judge where it will land.
and where to strike it for optimum distance/power?
Which swim stroke is fastest and why, or which stroke is most efficeient vs its speed.
I would like to see a video on the physics of tennis... In detail: How much energy of the "stroke" gets lost, how the ball stores the energy (I'm guessing by compressing), maybe some info on the fastest serv and properties of a tennis ball etc... I bet there's a lot to be said, I'd be very thankful for any video footage on this topic at all... Thanks!
Could you do something on projectile motion.
Do a piece on the London Eye and the intricacies of rotational energy.
how much force does a double floor bus needs in a curve to fall down
You should do one on the physics of navigating tube.
Speed, distance, and relativity of the movements of athletes and people alike and their relations in the universe. And how the synchronization of the opening ceremony works.
You should do the physics of vaulting. That would be really cool because I would love to know how the heck they are able to do all of those things.
Could you do a video about the martial arts, judo and taekwondo? Human reaction time, forces, conservation of angular momentum etc.
in Football how they manage to make a zero angle goal from corner kick. Does wind and spinning of the ball plays a vital roll. How and at which position they kick the ball ?
a beautiful change in music!
Hi minutephysics! I am a fencer and I would like to know if the tip of a foil is the fastest moving object in the Olympics. Thanks!
i would love to see a break down of the olympic lifting, but also the way that divers enter the water leaving little to no splash!
How do we build up enough force to throw a shotput?
I think that the running high jump and pole vaulting are very interesting. Who managed to think up the technique to clear higher than the center of gravity? Also why do shot putters "spin up" before the "putting"?
What is the best angle to launch a javelin?
Where are these videos you said you would be making?
If you can visit the newly completed shard in London, I'm sure that it'll have some pretty impressive physics concerning it's significant height, and weight...
Definitely do something special for the pole vault. It's such a great sport, and so interesting, too!!
Could you do a video of swimming? like fluid mechanics or something
Are you doing a fan meet up? That would be cool, in Regent's park or something like that.
Make a video on the physics behind good olympic athlete or the limits we have
A bit of trampolining and gymnastics physics, please! I'm a trampolinist from Lincolnshire and sometimes you only have to move a tiny bit during a move for the landing to go completely off. Is that to do with the elasticity of the trampoline? Or the aerodynamics of the gymnast? Or the surface area of the body which hits the bed?
Can you please do a segment on the hydrodynamics of swimming!! I would greatly appreciate it :)
a formula the gives m/s required to throw a discus and or hammer a given distance (factoring in drag, lift, etc).
maybe do a simple distance vs. displacement vids on the track running, for beginners.
How about the physics of tossing a Cornish Pasty versus the Discus?
I would love it if you could elaborate on the mechanics of field hockey :)
I'd like to know more about the centripetal forces involved in gymnastics, particularly on the high bar for men and the uneven bars for women. I'd also love to know about the physics of tight body turns and gravity as swimmers and gymnasts are twisting in air and then managing to land on their feet off the pummel horse, or swimmers are able to straighten in time to smoothly enter the water. It'd be fascinating to know the forces that are involved and how it accentuates and limits what athletes
Visit some nice sites. I always wanted to go to London and see the beautiful architecture, so if you can please do that
how fast is your fastest mile?
You should do something on swimming, perhaps either the balance between being as streamlined as possible in order to have the least possible resistance against the water and moving to get power from your stroke, or how the "super suits" that some swimmers used, but have since been banned, allowed them to break previous speed records.
you should do the physics of rowing!
Have a nice trip in London Bro.
Can you do a video on the various aspects of cycling e.g. geometry of the frame, aerodynamics etc.? I'm really into track cycling and looking to take it seriously, I'm hoping you might be able to shed some light on what I don't already know :)
I am asking myself, how twisting while doing a somersault works. Usually you start twisting not while jumping off, but while flying in the air. How does this not violate conservation of angular momentum?
Any track & field events, as I am a huge fan of that. Along with archery/skeet.
i hope i get to see you! i live in greater london
I'd be interested in knowing the caloric demands of the different sports, e.g. how much energy does a marathon runner or long-distance swimmer burn in competition compared to a sprinter or an archer.
The turbulence/air flow that causes balls to spin, such as in tennis with topspin.
Physics of swimming, the most efficient stroke and how it propels you across the water!!!! This could then move on to diving and the perfect splash :D
Thank you so much! You made me laugh like crazy....
pole vault.
or the limitations on all/any sports: how fast/high/far can humans go?
please do a meet up!!
Could you explain the top hat?
Could you do a segment on the maximum amount of somersaults a diver could do before reaching the water? :)
PLEASE COME TO NORTH LONDON I WANT TO MEET YOU
How does spinning your body help you throw more?? #shotput #discus
check out the underground tunnel London that leads from one side of the Thames to the other. It's old and cool and no one goes there. (Brunnel Thames Tunnel Tour)
