i watched this in physics and my teacher is like basing a whole exam on your videos. lol.

All 30 videos of Eureka!? Is it high school physics?

omg thank u,i'll use that in my termwork about kinetic n potential energy. n also ***** star goes tooo yep hehey

[bubblebear83]

If you were a critic of science you will give it a ***** star.

teaches better than my teacher

thx a bunch..without this i'd failed my science homework by now....

[bldstar]

good video thanks

thank u .. tomorrw i have exam in physics and i didnt understand good from my teacher you'r my really teacher .. its funny and Scientific

My physics teacher started showing these a couple of days ago, and those were the lessons that stuck with me the most.

@wolfshadowX13 Toughguy! Go and try to be cool elsewhere. Let us here try to understand the world better while you are off acting cool and failing.

The energy stored in the band is put there when you wind it (Kinetic). It is stored (Potential) untill released (Kinetic).

Same with the rock, at some point maybe even millions of years ago when the earth was forming that rock was pushed up in some earth changing natural event. When it moved up kinetic energy was present untill it stopped and the energy transferred to potential energy stored in the rock. This will eventually be transferred back to kinetic if the rock falls

@WendyMoris lol same

@wolfshadowX13 The point is you don't have to be a nerd to understand this. Unless you don't understand English, or you're just ...stupid. Just appreciate the video, jeez.

"Potential Energy" is confusing to me in some examples. I find it hard to imagine anything "built up" in a rock sitting at the tippy top of a mountain, it just seems to be referencing "gravity" which will act upon the rock. Now when Potential Energy is referred to something like a twisted rubber band, then it makes sense to me, since the rubber band is going to unwind when released regardless of gravity.

wow..this video helped me more than my teacher.O_O

[guillen1479]

thank you(:

this helped so much..

i have a test tomorrow about this.'

wish me luck..hahaha
