      @@FlippingPhysics WHY E=MC2 IS NECESSARILY F=MA (ON BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity AS SPACE ON BALANCE:
      TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Hence, the Earth AND the Sun are CLEARLY E=MC2 AND F=ma IN BALANCE.

      @@FlippingPhysics WHERE EINSTEIN WENT WRONG REGARDING WHAT IS BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity:
      Boris Stoyanov is a super bright and an HONEST physicist. He has agreed that the following paragraph (and I quote) is "crystal clear":
      "ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This is proven by F=ma AND E=mc2. Accordingly, gravity/acceleration involves balanced inertia/inertial resistance; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. "Mass"/energy involves balanced inertia/inertial resistance consistent with/as what is balanced ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL force/energy, as electromagnetism/energy is gravity. Gravity IS electromagnetism/energy. That objects fall at the same rate (neglecting air resistance, of course) PROVES that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Think about it."
      Get a good look at the BLUE SKY. Get a good look at what is THE EYE. Consider THE MAN who is standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Balanced BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE is the reason that objects AND MEN fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution.) "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity.

    Divneet k, the acceleration due to gravity is always directed down towards the center of the planet. We usually define up as positive and down as negative, therefore the acceleration due to gravity is negative because it is always down, regardless of the direction the object is moving.

    you rock! please keep uploading more,you`re one of the best teachers . i wanted to clarify if my understanding is right , so yeah acceleration due to gravity will be positive if the ball is thrown downwards as it is in the direction of acceleration due to gravity and it`ll be negative if the ball is thrown upwards as its against the force of gravity right? but then i saw your videos and its the opposite. i got really confused.

    Just a quick tip!
    Why is a ball thrown upwards considered free falling even though our hand exerted a force upon it?
    When you let go of the ball, you are not exerting a force upon it anymore. The velocity of the ball would stay the same and continue to space if there were no forces acting upon it (inc gravity). The velocity of the ball changes because gravity becomes the sole force acting upon it and the ball is now free falling. The ball does not 'carry the force' or anything. The ball has a positive (non zero) velocity at first when it is moving upwards due to the force that had been on the ball but there is no force acting on the ball anymore.

    Mr. P if a falling body were to be given an initial downward push instead of just being released, would the resulting value of g be different? it would be higher, right? Due to the extra acceleration?

    So acceleration due to gravity is -9.8m/s/s or is it 9.8m/s/s I'm confused

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 года назад

      Depends on what you define as the positive direction. If +y is defined as up, then it is -9.8m/s^2. If +y is defined as down, then it is -9.8 m/s^2. Whenever a g appears as a term in an equation, it refers to g being positive, unless otherwise specified.

  • @junglebaby448

    Is air resistance a similar concept to normal force in floors/grounds, just in the air? Also, does air resistance have different magnitude depending on where you are in the world, or even in outer space? I know that there are particles in the air that basically create the resistance in "air resistance". Would wind or other weather conditions change air resistance?

    • @junglebaby448
      @junglebaby448 10 лет назад

      Also...If there was no normal force when we put a book on the table or even when we stand on the ground, what would happen? Would the book just continue to push through the table and eventually destroy itself, and would we, as humans continue to fall into the ground and die as we would be smushed to the ground? I guess what I'm trying to understand is, where does normal force come from? Does normal force exist simply b/c there is a surface? Or does normal force only exist when an object that has gravity acting upon it is placed on top of a surface, like the person standing on the ground.

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  10 лет назад

      aquagem baby Okay, there are a lot of questions in here and I will do my best to answer them.
      1) No, Air Resistance is not similar to the Normal Force. Air Resistance (also called Drag Force) is proportional to the square of the velocity of the moving object, which makes it very tricky to work with. The Normal Force does NOT depend on the velocity of the object. If you want to know more about the Drag Force and how to work with it, I have a video "A Brief Look at the Force of Drag". www.flippingphysics.com/the-euler-method.html [Technically Drag Force is usually proportional to the square of the velocity, sometimes it is proportional to just the velocity (not squared).]
      2) There is no Air Resistance in outer space because there is no air.
      3) Yes, wind and other weather conditions will change air resistance. (see video referenced in #1)
      4) If a book is on a table and there is no normal force, that means there is no table. Book on table => Normal Force Exists. Book not on a surface => No Normal Force. If you remove the table from under a book, the Normal Force goes away and the only force acting on the book is the Force of Gravity and therefore the book would be in Free Fall.
      5) The normal force occurs because two material objects can't occupy the same space in the same time. When the book is on the table, the force of gravity is pulling the book down toward the table. The table is getting in the way of the book and is therefore pushing up on the book with a Force Normal.
      6) "Does the normal force only exist when an object that has gravity acting upon it is placed on top of a surface, like the person standing on the ground[?]" I don't like the word "only" in this sentence. If you replace it with "usually", then the sentence would be correct. Why "usually"? You could be in a space station and still have a force normal if the space station is rotating and the force normal would be caused by the inertia of your body trying to keep your body moving in a straight line and the space station continually getting in the way and forcing you in toward the center of the circle, therefore causing a net force in the in direction (or centripetal force) which would then cause a Normal Force. Yeah, I don't like the word "only".

    • @junglebaby448

      Thank you!! So can you consider the floor/ground to be a normal force as well?

      @FlippingPhysics  9 лет назад

      Anik Talukder An object in free fall might or might not have an initial velocity, it totally depends on the situation. Sorry, I know it's not a definitive answer, however, it's the truth. :)

    • @_atinsy
      @_atinsy 9 лет назад

      Thanks,
      So a force applied on an object, to make it drop and thus freefall
      Compared to an object at initial rest then drops and freefalls
      Yeah, it does depend on the situation thanks

    I like this video a lot, but as a physics teacher, I don't like to say whether the acceleration due to gravity is positive or negative. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 directed downwards towards the center of the Earth. Saying it is positive or negative is a frame of reference. The object will speed up at this rate, but whether it is positive or negative is your choice of vector/direction. When you throw an object up, you are slowing down upward. When the object comes back down you are speeding up downward. What's positive, up or down? That's up to you.

    Well, a flying plane ✈️ is not touching anything. Is this technically considered a case of a free fall? I will try not to think about that next time I sit in a plane.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 года назад

      No, an ordinary flying plane is not considered in free fall. "Not touching anything" is an oversimplified way to establish this condition. Another example would be magnetic levitation, which is not in free fall, albeit also not in contact with anything.
      A flying plane is touching the air in numerous ways, for the forces of thrust, lift and drag, which cause it to not be in free fall. There are zero-g flights you can take, where the plane is temporarily in free fall, as it simulates 30 seconds of weightlessness.

    I normally define free fall as follow: Objects of different masses will all fall with the same acceleration (9.81 m.s−2) provided there no other forces acting on them except their weight.I always tell my students that when working in two different y directions, g as a vector quantity is always negative according to the x-y framework and its modulus is 9.81 m.s−2

    • @FlippingPhysics
      @FlippingPhysics  6 лет назад

      That is a fine definition of free fall. My students have not learned about forces when we learn about free fall, therefore, we cannot define free fall in terms of forces yet.
