HANK: So… Physics. Uh, right. Physics, physics, physics, physics…are you getting all this?
00:16
We have been talking about doing Crash Course Physics for a long, long, longlonglong time.
00:21
You’ve wanted it, we’ve wanted to do it, and now thanks to our friends at PBS Digital Studios, we’re doing it.
00:26
There’s just one thing. I’m hosting Crash Course Philosophy.
00:29
But I do know someone super-qualified for the job.
00:32
SHINI: Hi!
00:33
HANK: Hi. This is our host for Crash Course Physics.
00:36
Me? I’m gonna go have a corndog and host Philosophy. Take it away, Shini!
00:42
SHINI: I’m Dr. Shini Somara, a mechanical engineer and fluid dynamicist by qualification.
00:48
For the last few years I've been hosting science and tech shows on TV,
00:52
like TechKnow, Tomorrow's Food, and The Health Show.
00:54
Wanna know more about me? There are links in the dooblydoo.
00:57
So... let’s talk Physics! I love physics and chances are you do too, even if you don’t know it yet.
01:03
So I’m really excited to host this series of Crash Course. In this series, we’ll
01:07
be covering AP Physics 1 & 2, mostly. But we’ll also have a little time for other things along the way.
01:13
Everything you do, build, or say will be governed by physics, so wouldn’t it be nice to read
01:18
the rule book? A rule book that will help you through life. Physics is elegant.
01:23
It’s also practical and fun. Understanding time, position, velocity, and acceleration
01:28
and how they all work together can help you understand your place in the universe -- literally!
01:34
And I’m sure you’ve heard of Newton’s Laws, like his first law: An object in motion
01:38
will remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force.
01:44
But what does that mean? And what does it have to do with acceleration?
01:47
And what are vectors? Scalars? And what does this mean?
01:51
Kinetic Friction and Static Friction? What’s the difference?
01:54
We’ll explain all of that. But what’s more special is getting to figure out why
01:58
understanding these things is so valuable. Understanding how the world, the universe,
02:03
works gives us a richer and more immersive experience in life. It gives us the opportunity
02:09
to see the beauty in nature in vast and unexpected ways.
02:12
Now a lot of people think physics is hard, but it's easy!
02:16
Well, it’s as easy as we can make it.
02:18
So join me, Dr. Shini Somara, this year on Crash Course Physics which is produced in
02:23
association with our good friends at PBS Digital Studios.
