What do you do when one of the vectors in a relative motion problem is not in a cardinal direction?

Did you miss my time lapse video of Making 30 Flipping Physics Tie-Dye T-Shirts? Did you know you could buy one? What would be the best vantage point from which to understand relative motion? A non-terrestrial one I always say! So, I asked Aaron Fown of FirstUAV (www.firstuav.co) to film my wife and me driving two vehicles parallel to one another. Voila! Relative Motion. Thanks Aaron!
Too many times have I seen individuals “wearing” their helmet without snapping the buckle. So, I made a video to explain the physics behind exactly why one should secure the helmet to your head. That and I got to ride my bicycle off a dock into a lake, which was loads of fun. FYI: Riding the bike into the lake starts @ 0:53
Thank you very much to Colton and Jean Johnson who said yes when I asked them if I could film myself riding my bike off their dock. Colton also said, “In my 75 years of living, that has got to be the strangest request I have ever received.” Thank you also to Chris Palmer and Larry Braak for being my on-site camera operators. Today I am ecstatic to be releasing 3 videos about How to Make Engaging Flipping Videos. Based on feedback from my FlipCon14 presentation, I decided to summarize the presentation with shorter, edited videos. The idea is that I can illustrate each of my suggestions in a, hopefully, entertaining manner. I was lucky enough to have seven teachers I met at FlipCon14 volunteer to participate in the videos. Thank you very much:
Well now you can buy one!
![]() Thanks Chris Palmer for nominating me for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I decided to use the opportunity to donate $100 to Citizens for Oil Free Backyards because I know the vast majority of my money will be used to try to prevent oil and gas exploration, drilling, and extraction in Scio Township, just outside Ann Arbor. Laura Robinson Citizens for Oil Free Backyards I nominate you for the Ice Bucket Challenge. Good Luck! I am ecstatic to announce Flipping Physics is now a grantee of Awesome Without Borders! A chapter of the Awesome Foundation. AWB gives $1,000 nostrings-attached weekly grants to awesome initiatives worldwide. So Happy!

Yep, I make physics videos in the hope that you can learn physics. If you are a physics teacher, I am very hopeful that you will want to use them to help flip your physics class. Archives
