In this video, cartoon characters of Newton and Einstein discuss the differences between velocity and acceleration. In order for this video to not make you yawn yourself to sleep, the characters use funny accents and refer to acceleration as "chunk blowers." Warning: this is an extremely bizarre video, but stay with it!
As our study of velocity and acceleration continues, I know that at least I, myself get confused with the differences of velocity and acceleration. I chose this video because it is so stupidly humorous, that it actually makes sense. As Einstein says "Acceleration reminds me of blowing chunks," this makes me automatically know that it is acceleration that makes an object or person jerk or move in a sudden moment of time. I hope you find this useful!

Elise,
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed the videos you have found so far! Not only do they give good explanations to concepts we are learning about, but they are so entertaining and interesting! Similarly to you, I thought the "chunk blower" comparison was strangely useful! I think that the bizarreness of this video makes the concepts discussed in it really stand out! I cant quite get the image of acceleration "chunk blowers" out of my head, (which is good! I wont forget it!). Great job! I look forward to your reading your blogs and watching your videos in the future!
