He Threw a Ball Upward from a Moving Truck... WILL HE CATCH IT? - #VeritasiumContest Jon White 2021-07-04 | The ball is thrown up from the moving truck, and the thrower CATCHES the same ball! HOW???I am a physics educator, and I enjoy making videos for my students to better understand physics phenomena. I'm hoping that this does well in the #VeritasiumContest!A few years ago, a couple of colleagues and I filmed this video (youtu.be/j1URC2G2qnc) that shows what happens if you throw a ball up in a moving vehicle. It has received a lot of views, and so I wanted to provide a quick explanation as to what is happening. A longer explanation would definitely allow for more concepts to be discussed, but I did my best!!! Enjoy!This is a great example of Newton's Law of Inertia and frames of reference!This is a very quick video to fit within the 1-minute requirement of the Veritasium Contest. I hope it helps!#VeritasiumContest#NewtonsLaws#Inertiasciguywhite@gmail.com
Why do Car Wheels Spin BACKWARDS on TV? - Veritasium Contest #VeritasiumContest Jon White 2021-07-04 | Why do cars on TV appear to have wheels that spin backward?I am a physics educator, and I enjoy making videos for my students to better understand physics phenomena.We start our year with Motion and this is one of the first topics that gets covered. I remember watching Knight Rider as a kid and wondering why K.I.T.T.'s wheels looked like they were spinning backwards, so it was great to make a video that explains that!Feel free to check out some of my other videos on various topics that we cover throughout the year!Thanks for watching!#VeritasiumContestsciguywhite@gmail.com

Charging by Induction Jon White 2021-02-25 | In this example, I charge the neutral dome by INduction. The balloon becomes negative when I rub it on my hair, and when I move it near the neutral conducting dome, the negative charges in the dome are repelled by the balloon. By touching the dome, I am GROUNDING the dome (providing a pathway for charge to flow in/out). The electrons exit the dome to get away from the balloon, using my arm as a path to ground. When I remove my hand, the dome is left with fewer negative charges, making it net negative.When I touch the dome again afterwards, Im "opening the door" to allow negative charges to flow back in, neutralizing the dome once again.
Electrostatics - Electric Fields and Drawing Field Diagrams Jon White 2021-02-15 | This vid provides a simplified introduction to electric fields and field diagrams. Please note that while this vid uses force vectors to show the derivation of field lines, electric field lines are more accurately made from the vector sums of electric field vectors since only the source charge is considered. Using Coulomb's Law, the strength of an electric field for point (source) charge, q, at a distance from that charge, d, is:E = k q / d^2This is a vector value (field strength on a positive test charge, AND direction that a positive test charge would feel a force towards from the field).#pandemic_hair #selfhaircut
