Spidey Physics

I've been posting some physics YouTube videos that y'all might find enjoyable! Check them out by searching for SpideyPhysics on YouTube or click the link here:

This is probably the most simple and insanely epic physics experiments in all of history!

The Foucault pendulum is literally a lead ball (28kg) on a 67 meter long steel cable. They were first used in France in 1850s by a gentleman called Léon Foucault. My guys were bored and decided to make the worlds largest pendulum 😳

Turns out theres a lot of crazy physics store in this bad boy of a pendulum. It was used to show the rotation of the earth almost 200 years ago!!!

wow physics is tough. I almost forgot the reason SpideyPhysics exists!
When you get knocked down you gotta remember to get back up no matter how challenging the opponent is! I learned that from that good ol' spider guy...
(if the opponent is statistics, good luck)

Sir Isaac Newton is probably the first physics name you hear (either that or Einstein but Newton the big original). Why is he so famous? There’s many reasons but today I’d like to simply list his 3 laws of classical motion:

1) an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest. If you don’t observe this to be the case (ie the motion of the object changes) then it must mean some external force (like electromagnetism or gravity) is acting on the object and changing its motion. I wonder how they defined force back then 🤔

2) the sum of all the forces acting on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F=ma). The famous second law! Many things can be said about this one… but how about this: the units of force are called Newtons, shameless plug. (An Apple sitting on a table is applying about 1 Newton of force onto the table due to gravity)

3) for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Example: If you fart in space you can move around because the force of your fart is also causing a reactionary force opposite the direction of the fart! Just be careful because farting in space both with or without a space suit is dangerous 😳

Final crazy fact: this guy Newton (and also another dude: Leibniz) invented calculus 💯

One of my professors used to say, "We live in an electromagnetic universe." It's a pretty crazy sentence, but it's kind of true. Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces that we have discovered, and it occurs everywhere you look, from chemical reactions to electrical devices to the repulsion between your feet and the ground when you stand.

What's even cooler is that the dances of electricity and magnetism are explained with only four equations. These are called Maxwell's equations, which were finalized around the end of the 1800s. Maxwell wasn't the only person to work on this, though. Some other big names that deserve recognition are Gauss, Faraday, Heaviside, Hertz, and Ampere.

The equations below relate the electric field to the magnetic field. All four equations have both a differential and integral form. To fully understand each of them, we'll have to learn some good old calculus 😈.

If you need any help with high school, college, and/or university level math and science let me know and I’ll swing by!

There was this dude named Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier back in the day that said something like “any function can be created by a series of sine and cosine terms”. So basically everything is a wave or a combination of waves 👋🌊

Wow, the first ever post on the Spidey Physics page! Welcome and hello. My name is Erik and as you can tell, I am a big fan of both Spiderman and physics. My intention here is to have a place where I can share my love for these subjects. I've learned quite a bit of physics and math in my life thus far, and it honestly seems like a never-ending rabbit hole of new questions and stranger theories. This is often exciting, but can also give you a LOT of headaches. That's where Spiderman comes in. I literally would not have made it through any subject without the mentality of Spiderman.

Welcome to the page! Pizza time.

P.S. It would be a cool goal to have fully functional, environmentally friendly web-slingers developed in like 10-15 years (web fluid is going to be pretty tough).
