Whatever i do for professor walter lewin it will not be enough to thank him in any way his way of teaching is revolutionary. I really wish that i meet him someday.

AWESOME!! =D

is this really mit stuff because i am barely in high school

My Respects

Before watching this video, I thought that the force of air resistance is proportional to the velocity, and it followed the equation F=bv, where b is some constant. Wouldn't that mean that air is in Regime I?

this is why its MIT..............

wait..so is it longer or shorter?

[taikukaikei]

how is it possible to cross from regime 1 into regime 2? Is the force of gravity not enough to break the barrier? Would more force be needed to apply to cross the barrier? How would the graph look once if crossed from regime 1 to regime 2?

i learned alot more by watching this, than my prof trying to teach...
