Dr John | Unleashing Kinematics: Space Shuttle vs Lamborghini! Which accelerates fastest? @DrJohnDev | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
💥💥👩🚀🚀🆚 🏎️💪💥💥
Applying kinematics to real-world problems can be as hard as rocket science. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We're diving into the fascinating world of rocket science and determining how to apply kinematic equations to a real out-of-this-world problem: the launch of a rocket ship! 🌌🚀
But wait, there's more! We'll also compare the acceleration of the rocket ship to the newest model of the Lamborghini Revuelto. Buckle up and get ready for an epic race between rockets and supercars!
In this video, we'll start by exploring the launch of the space shuttle Discovery on July 4th, 2006. This iconic American spacecraft completed a staggering 39 launches, orbited the Earth 5,830 times, and traveled a mind-boggling 149 million miles! To reach orbital speed, the shuttle had to accelerate its 78 metric ton body to a mind-blowing speed of 17,500 miles per hour or over 7800 meters per second. And it accomplished all of this in a mere 8 and a half minutes!
But finding the rocket's acceleration isn't as simple as dividing its change in velocity by the launch time!
Here’s an overview of what we cover:
🚀The Anatomy of NASA’s Discovery Orbiter: What it takes to get 78 metric tons into orbit.
📈The Velocity vs. Time of the Discovery Orbiter’s Launch on July 4th, 2006
🤔Finding the Best Time Period of Nearly Constant Acceleration during the Launch
🧮Calculating the Max Acceleration of the Discovery during its Launch
🔎Calculating the Acceleration of the Lamborghini
💪Determining the Winner
➕
💥Calculating the Speed of a Car after a Crash

![Flat Earth Vs Globe Debate [ROUND 2] | Dave Weiss (DITRH) & Nathan Thompson Vs Dr. John](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mQPBYuDAIuU/hqdefault.jpg "Flat Earth Vs Globe Debate [ROUND 2] | Dave Weiss (DITRH) & Nathan Thompson Vs Dr. John
Second round debate on Flat Earth versus the Globe Model of Earth with guests Dave Weiss (DITRH) and Nathan Thompson representing Flat Earth and Dr. John representing the Globe Model of Earth.
If you missed the previous debate, a link can be found here 👇
https://youtu.be/CDf2fOWn06M
This discussion attempts to correct many misconceptions held by the Flat Earth community, including misunderstandings of Gravity, fundamental force mechanisms, taking spectroscopy measurements, power output of stars, and historical context of the development of the Globe.
This channel does not support the Flat Earth. However, these discussions demand critical thinking of science, and many physical phenomena pointed out by Flat Earthers are interesting observations. And despite the claims made by the opposing parties, all phenomena have firm answers grounded in the current theories of modern physics. The idea of Earth as a sphere was a radical idea around 2200 years ago, but an overwhelming number of observations and data support the theory of the globe today. As with the previous debate, it is imperative to investigate these topics for yourself. It is the hope that these discussions will trigger you to investigate the answers to these questions and understand the science for yourself.
🌎Full video COMING SOON on the history of how we know the Earth is a globe. 🌍

The Flat Earthers:
David Weiss (Flat Earth Dave) is one of the leading and most outspoken advocates of Flat Earth. Dave runs https://www.theflatearthpodcast.com/ and appears in many Flat Earth Debates on YouTube. He is featured in the 2023 film “Level with Me” and has been highlighted by several national media networks, such as CNN & Info Wars, for his stance on Flat Earth. Dave’s YouTube Channel can be found here: www.youtube.com/@DITRHDAVE
Nathan Thompson also leads one of the largest Flat Earth communities, and has appeared in multiple films on the topic, including the 2018 Netflix documentary, “Behind the Curve”, and the 2019 film, “What If the Earth Is Flat?”. He is active on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@therealnathanthompson) and runs the Flat Earth Globe Discussion on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/FlatEarthGlobeDiscussion/).
