Inertial post of the year



 Here is a great Video from the folks over at Khan Academy. The video moves from what we learned in class and highlights mass, and how you can find mass by calculating force and distance. The video also highlights how gravitational mass is the same as inertial mass, which is very interesting. One thing I wish Khan would have discussed more would be to have more blanket information on inertia. As I feel without prior knowledge viewers would be lost.

  1. This video is well detailed, it helped me understand the difference/similarities of inertia and mass. It also goes into detail on Newtons second law and gravity. I hope that this information will give me a base to build off of to connecting the first law and the second law.
