One last note, I’ve had some comments on me mispronouncing height as heighth. My possible responses:
1. sometimes I get nervous in front of the camera and have moments where my brain shuts down.
2. We grew up pronouncing it that way.
3. We all make mistakes…..but is it really a mistake ?
4.. Merriam Webster dictionary to my rescue- Heighth- expressed as a dialectal variant of the word height. Part that rises or extends upwards, the highest part
Everything okay but your prediction track doesn't seem to work well
I am glad you are a teacher
wow so cool!!
Good pooping video
Your slim chance came true
You got 2.1 mil views
The one video that is in the recommended that I have no idea why it’s recommending me it
"One million view? chances are very slim."
Hits Three Million in a couple weeks
this is my new kind of ASMR
But the bent tracks. They are the same length bent but straightened the metal would be longer. Why haven’t you explained the fact you’re going even faster because you’re covering a longer distance faster. Curved 3 inches straightens out to 5 inches and still covering it faster tha 3 inch almost straight. Explain to the people who don’t realize that
0:43…heigth? Really?
Thank you for making physics cool for myself and others
"Chances are very slim for this video getting 1 million views"
Brachistochrones!
Are you from Baltimore Professor Yeany?
Very cool video
Will a ball on a short track of the same apogee or drop travel several times more but the same distance or does the inertia of hitting more rapidly shorten the distance or increase the energy and travel further ?
HA ! 2MILLION VIEWS that'll teach you to never doubt the internet your calculations were wrong >:D
brachistochrome.
He did get 1M views
How can you say it home made…..
But still it is an excellent piece of work
Not to take away from this video, but if you are further interested in the "Why" this happens watch this video by Vsauce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skvnj67YGmw
Science; proving predictions as bullshit.
