Physics teacher built multiple practical demonstrations to show how inertia works
These are fascinating.
I hate nothing about this
In the part with the two ramp sections that began and ended with the same height, but one ramp had a lot more bumps and drops, why did the ball on the bumpy ramp travel faster than the ball on the other ramp?
If I could turn invisible I would go and fuck with this man during a presentation. He releases the ball on a Galileo track? I nudge it to go over the edge and off the other side.
That pendulum example vs the two ramps is a bit misleading. The pendulums have a circular path, but that is only an approximation of the true solution of the same-time curve: the cycloid.
I swear if my physics teachers used these things in class, the ideas they were trying to convey would’ve been much clearer.
Is inertia a property of matter?
I can not believe how much this guy knows but still says “heighth.”
Let’s get him his million views
Gotta love High-School physics teachers. They get to teach the greatest hits of the Enlightenment and are the probably the first people to make kids think about the big picture.
All while narrowly avoiding safety regulations and and working with a budget that was drafted in the 1980s.
One of the best YouTube videos I’ve seen.
Those apples have strong stems
Teachers that are this passionate are awesome.
Physics is fucking awesome.
TIL Bruce Campbell’s alter ego is a high school physics teacher named Bruce Yeany
[Reminds me of this physics teacher! AKA Grandpa Rick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTY1Kje0yLg)
Nice video teach. Wish I got more explanations on why things were happening. Especially on the tracks with bumps.
I feel like it is like 1 AM at that middle school.
This makes me miss Mr. Wizard 🙁
PLEASE WIPE YOUR LENS!!!!!
OP why would you leave the intro out?
This is crazy for me to see. This guy was my middle school science teacher so so long ago and I had no clue he made these!
He single handedly got me interested in the sciences. After having his class I went on to take every science class that small rural school had to offer. Without him, I definitely wouldn’t have had the interest or foundation in science to drive me to where I am today.
Thank you Mr. Yeany!
The “which position” model fucked me up a little bit.
I wish we could get him to 1,000,000 views
These are the best kind of teachers. Absolutely brilliant. These are the educators that lead students to think critically. Reminds me of my great science teachers growing up. We need more of these people!
Awesome video. As an adult engineer I️ really enjoyed the quality in the demonstrations.
Question on the last example with 3 different pendulem lengths.
Would they all have the same counts across the bar?
So would the 1 second one, go back and forth 20 times, and 2 go 20 times, and 3 go 20? Surely not, right?

think of this weekly
If there were “infinitely” many bumps would it just be as fast as a straight line?
But can he explain how to get to the Upside Down?
My teachers way of teaching inertia: “read chapter 10-12.”
This video taught me that taking the “low road” is better/faster over the “high road”
This guy is awesome! His ball are made of steel!
So this is how grandfather clocks work. The pendulum has a period of one second, which rotates the the second hand, then rotates the minute hand at 60 seconds – rotating the hour hand after 60 minutes?
As stupid as it sounds, it makes you appreciate the mechanics much more.
Get this man to 100k
I love physics.
Science makes me feel dumb
The way he talks reminds me of Report of the Week
A physics teacher with balls of steel!
My favorite teachers were always like this guy. Bravo.
The world needs more people like this.
That is the coolest thing I have ever seen, that I do not understand.
We need more teachers like this
science is fun until you get to university and it all becomes differential maths
But this teacher is good. Enthusiastic, and makes you think.
Well I certainly learned something here and I’m as old as rocks.
Spin in a swing tuck your legs in now kick them out. Inertia is fun to play with.
Whatever this guy makes in salary is not enough. He truly cares. I wish I had a teacher half as dedicated as him.
I hope he hits a milli
HELLO I’M BRJSHSHAJ AND TODAY ON HOMEMADE SCIENCE
One of the favourite physics related video I have ever seen
The angle of a pendulum totally matters once you get past 10-15º. The small angle approximation doesn’t hold forever.
Ok. Bye!
Theres a pretty [interesting video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skvnj67YGmw&t=) that explains brachistochrone’s from Adam Savage (MythBusters) and Vsauce, where they make a similar device as shown here and go into the details a little more.
Both are great videos!
I wish this guy had taught my physics class, I always enjoyed physics but my teacher never produced anything physical like this to demonstrate through visual learning.
Ok! Bye!
This is a guy who loves what he does .
The tracks with bumps look a lot like financial charts for businesses. For example, Benjamin Graham explains that companies that are highly levered have speculative capitalization structures, and can provide above average returns, and above average losses. The extremities appear to be explained by inertia, losses intensify due to higher leverage, and if there is success at the end of the road, the speculatively capitalized company may rise much faster than the competitor which did not have a speculative capitalization structure. Not speculative capitalization is analogous to the flat track.
Likewise a startup, which goes down in cash flow due to startup costs, and is expected to ‘shoot to the moon’.
Interesting stuff!
It’s teachers like him that make me love learning! Thank you professor!
Does every school in America use W.B. Mason paper?
Anybody else see Will Forte? I feel like the resemblance is uncanny
This was awesome. I love highschool physics. This video reminds me of a great video done with Michael from vsauce and one of the guys from myth busters. Basically the shortest distance between two points is a line but the fastest is a curve (to a certain degree). Was really cool.
Thank you for being a awesome teacher!! The world needs more like you
I wish I had a similar High-School physics teacher
Let’s keep it going for inertia!
He said “heighth”.
We need to get this video to 1 million views!
He said “heighth” at about 0:44, and again at 3:44.
There is length, width, and height. If there is “heighth,” shall we then call the next dimension “timeth?”
I cannot abide such egregiousness in an educator.
OMG, he didn’t say momentum. Mo Men Tum.
I love how you can always ID a high school science classroom from those tables alone.
That is an awesome level of loving your job… I suspect most of his kids don’t know or care how awesome their physics teacher is, but enough do.
By my best estimation as a teacher, this guy is a *good* teacher, but am I the only one around here who thinks a physics teacher shouldn’t be saying “heighth” in a lesson?
@tweetsauce where r u
All the amazing knowledge this man has gained through study and curiosity and he never came across the correct pronunciation of the word “Height”?
I love teachers like this
/u/r3dk0w posted this 8 days ago, didn’t even get 200 votes
And with that I have started the rabbit whole of videos. Thank you reddit
Miss those days.. 🙁
wtf the letter dual rail already got me
the one with the bumbs and before the bumps are sick too
This takes me back some, Bunsen burners and ‘safety’ goggles that are 5 sizes too big for your face.
And to think if he just played educational videos and made you fill out packets none of his coworkers or his principal would bat an eye… and he would get the same salary.
It’s a shame that there are teachers out there that are really passionate – but don’t get rewarded in ways that make sense.
I thought that Galileo’s assertions regarding pendulum’s periodicity and amplitude were bullshit? I just read it in James Gleick book “Chaos”.
this is so cool i love Physics
