Join us in a lunar leap! We estimate how gravity affects jumping distance on the Moon compared to Earth, with the same takeoff speed and angle. Explore the moon's reduced gravity and its impact on human capabilities.

Delve into Newton's third law of motion and explore how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences whether force pairs cancel each other out.

Join us to explore the science of hand-warming through friction in this video. We calculate the temperature increase as a woman rubs her hands together, converting work into thermal energy. Dive into the physics of heat generation and discover how friction can keep you warm.

Dive into the thrilling world of physics and surfing as we explore the angle of inclination of a wave's face. Discover how a surfer accelerates down a wave with an acceleration of 3.25 m/s² while ignoring friction. Join us for an engaging and educational explanation of this exciting phenomenon.

Step into the showroom as we explore the intriguing connection between rug dimensions and area. Learn whether a rug being twice as long as another implies its area is also doubled. Join us for a comprehensive explanation of this geometric concept.

Learn how to calculate total displacement when traveling west and south at different speeds and durations. Explore the direction and magnitude of your journey in this informative video.
