You should get a Nobel Prize whether for all the sciences or just for Peace. For promoting peace, encouraging education and taking the level of general education to a higher level by develoving conciousness about the sciences in a normal student. You explain everything very well. Its like atarting from zero, you leave us in the space. Thank you very much sir. You're my role model.

I am on the 7th VIDEO RIGHT NOW..

im just going to comment on this and say that THIS DEFINATELY clears ur way of thinking about physics... u should definately go through it instead of reading the book

period flow chart lulz

@piyushanly I have seen many people screw up in Physics for one reason: They over complicate. Physics is really not that hard, unless you're learning about the fabric of space time and whatnot. Assuming you're in high school, when you see a problem that seems convoluted, just calm down and don't make it seem like some Stephen Hawking type deal. It's not. I used to make this mistake and when I stopped (physics yoga haha) I improved my grade from a D+ to an A- in a matter of weeks.

Who's talking in the most literal sense? I was merely pointing out that to insult someone you should at least do it with grammatical accuracy otherwise your opinion looks invalid. I retract my original comment I just thought that physically showing what horizontal meant was a bit 'pre-school' in a physics class and through the USA sounding accent it seemed fair to assume the students were morons and he was doing it for their genuine benifit giving the general educational standard there.

@MilitantBlackGuy1 In the most literal sense, no, which was the exact same thing you were doing with foeasy16. I just found it funny that you were correcting someone's "speaking ability" when it really wasn't the relevant issue - e.g. you being a "bitch" about someone's video.

[MilitantBlackGuy1]

@bluefurryfood Although I did mean 'type', speaking can include typing or conveying yourself through written words.

[bluefurryfood]

@MilitantBlackGuy1 He's typing, not speaking.

:) you look like Alan from Two and a half man, that is great :)

he makes me want a chalk board so bad

[marekday]

does anyone know how to calculate this 2. An elastic cord is 65 cm when a weight of 75 N hangs from it but is 85 cm long when a weight 180 N hangs from it. What is the “spring” constant k of this elastic cord?

would be really helpful, thanks

[MilitantBlackGuy1]

@foeasy16 Well if all he needs is that, then I'm glad I can be of service, learn how to speak you moron.
