Physicist Brian Cox on the Science of Falling Objects

Have you ever pondered why a feather and a hammer fall at the same rate on the Moon? 🌙 Join us in this captivating exploration of Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation. We break down the fascinating science behind mass, acceleration, and how everything experiences the same gravitational pull, regardless of its mass. From F=ma to the equality of free fall, we simplify these complex concepts for a fun and informative journey through the fundamentals of physics. 🌠

“Which you’ll know” lmfao! 😂 sure Brian!!

[@alanwilson4860]

Hes giddy when he talks about stuff he loves.

[@Curiousity_Unleashed]

fascinating

[@lokyinphotography]

So he's saying the higher mass need larger force to accelerate, therefore the lighter objects fall the same way the heavier object?

[@alexchudilovski860]

G gravitational constant, surely it can vary in a different system.

[@alexchudilovski860]

The question is, in a different system, where gravitational constant is different, would M - mass be greater or less than in a given, Earth system.
And my guess would be, depending on the speed of the planet rotation the M mass could be different.... What's the formula for M mass?

wtf is this high pitch sound?

[@brycejohnson144]

What?

[@coolbreeze2.0-mortemadfasc13]

I got a D+ in physics.

[@arthurneddysmith]

More random, high-pitched and annoying beeps, please.

[@admirsljivic914]

So wrong.Pythagoras proved few thousand years ago that if you roll the two balls made of same material but different sizes, will still go at the same speed....your knowledge is not good

[@TyDetails]

he is so fucking intellgient

[@vwlz8637]

Okay i get that but that eas high school physics lmfao
