Science buffs of seti, I need your help.

I like to find examples of physics in action to show my students. Simple gifs or short clips (they have short attention spans) to illustrate principles of physics.

For example, I just came across this one: Example of Newton's 1st Law.

Notice the way the toddler keeps moving when the stroller is stopped?

Or this one showing vectors and projectile motion from a McDonalds ad during the world cup. Projectile motion

If anyone comes across any clips or gifs that might help make physics real to my students can you post them in this thread.

Topics of particular interest are:
Kinematics
Newton's Laws
Momentum
Conservation of Energy
Nuclear Physics (radioactive decay, fission, fusion etc)
Optics (refraction, reflection, mirrors, lenses etc)
and Special Relativity.

but any physics gifs/clips are welcome.

Enjoy!

Thanks for that one, although I've looked there before and it is not very active.

Came across these today:


conservation of momentum

I'm just looking for things to make the lessons more fun, not to replace the lessons!

I really hope so.

..but it is an excellent example of conservation of momentum and Newton's 3rd law.
