Forces and Motions Special.

Welcome to our Forces and Motion Special.

And I'd like to point out that I was forced to be here.

Forces move things by either pushing or pulling,

and it's easier to move something if there isn't much friction.

Can we get a move on?

If it gets any colder, I think my bum might get stuck to this ice,

and how's anyone going to sniff it then?

We're on ice.

I just said that. Which is slippy and has very little friction.

To show you how slippy it is, I just need something to push.

Ah. It's me, isn't it?

Argh!

CAT WHEEZES WITH LAUGHTER

Forces and motion.

This year we're bringing you winter sports in summer,

with added friction!

Yes, friction -

the force that slows or stops movement

when two surfaces are touching.

Of course, in winter sports in winter

there's barely any friction

because ice is super slippery and smooth.

But where's the fun in that?

Skiing.

But doing these sports in summer

will bring you less ice and more friction -

between the skis, the ground, and between the teams.

Smooth ice and snow? That's SNOW good!

We've replaced it with rough surfaces,

like Tarmac,

which creates friction when it rubs against the skis

and creates a race that is entirely in slow motion!

Really struggling.

Smooth skiing is for losers.

Curling!

You've seen it on ice, but what about on concrete?

Get that brush ready for the rush!

The friction will seize your imagination...

It's not moved!

..and also the curling stone.

This is terrible.

Bobsleigh!

With winter sports in summer,

it's not just the competitors that have grit -

the course does too!

Whoopsie.

Ice dancing.

Grace, poise,

almost complete lack of movement -

feel the force of friction rubbing between the gravel

and those skates,

and stopping them from sliding at all.

Oh!

Majestic.

Ski jump!

And here's the most dangerous death-defying winter sport of all,

in summer with added friction.

Three centimetres.

Yes! PB!

Join us for the thrills of winter sports in summer,

with added friction,

for action that is gripping!

Wheeeee!

So, friction is a force that slows things down.

Look at me!

This space slug can go super fast

because it's travelling on slimy swamp moss.

Fastest slug ever!

But, replace the slime with sand, and...

Wheee...!

Oh!

..the slug slows down - which is good,

because it demonstrates friction,

and because I'm hungry. Ha-ha-ha!

Of course, friction isn't the only force.

Check out some more while...I have my lunch.

Yummy!

Oh, great.

Coming soon, a new breed of superheroes -

The Force Force.

An elite team of our greatest forces -

forces that affect everything around the world.

Featuring Friction...

I'm the force generated by two things rubbing together

to make them grip each other,

so don't rub me up the wrong way - you'll only make me stronger.

..Magnetism...

What can I say? I'm attractive.

Only to metals though.

No, not just metals.

OK, mainly metals. Mm.

..Gravity...

I'm so powerful I can move planets.

I pull things towards me without having to lift a finger.

SCREAMING

Help!

I'm trapped under a shed that's randomly fallen on me!

..and Applied Force.

Hiya.

I can move things by...pushing them.

Physically touching them and applying pressure.

Boring! How did you get onto the team?

I'm still a force, just a fairly dull one.

Wielding the power of the forces,

The Force Force can save any situation.

Help!

Help me, I'm trapped!

All this wood just fell down off the roof!

Can any of you help me out?

I will move it with my magnetism.

Whoaw! But it's made of wood.

OK. Wood's not magnetic.

Fall under something metal next time, please.

I can use gravity to make it heavier.

Argh! Aah! No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

It's heavy enough.

Can't you make it fly or turn it into smoke, or something?

We're really more focused on, you know, pushing and pulling stuff.

Pushing and pulling. Pushing and pulling, it's all forces do.

I could apply force with my hands by pushing it off?

Thank you.

HE STRAINS

Er, if it was lighter, which it isn't.

Wow, you guys have got to be pretty much the worse superheroes ever.

Argh!

I shouldn't have cancelled the fire brigade.

The Force Force, here to save the day.

As long as that only involves pushing or pulling stuff

that's not too heavy.

Land ahoy!

CHEERING

Get in! Come on!

Aaah!

EVIL CACKLING

SCREAMING

Fear me, the great and terrible sea monster,

none is mightier than me...

What do you think you're doing, young lady?

Mum!

I'm sinking a ship, I don't need your help!

It doesn't look like you're sinking it, poppet.

It looks like you're waving it around.

She doesn't need any help.

Aah!

Aah!

Argh! It won't go under! Why won't it sink?

Ships are heavy.

Sweetie, we went through this at Kraken School.

Children, children!

When something's in water, there are two forces acting on it.

Its weight pulling it down,

and the force of the water trying to push it up.

That's called upthrust.

This ship's big surface area here

means there's loads of water pushing against it,

so its upthrust is greater than its weight, and it floats.

A heavy thing with a smaller surface area would sink.

Like this cannon? Exactly!

It was floating with the ship,

but watch what happens when it's dropped overboard.

It sinks!

So, how do you sink this ship?

Oh! Oh! Make it heavier,

or the surface area smaller?

Correct!

Oh, good one, Jim!

Sorry!

Well, go on, then.

Grrr!

There you go - you've made the surface area smaller, and look!

When water gets into the ship

it makes it even heavier, so it sinks quicker.

Well done.

Now, stop playing with your food.

You know, this is all terrifying but I'm learning a lot!

Wait, food?!

Sorry, Mum.

Aah!

Oh, I see.

Mmm!

For some, love comes easy,

but for others it can take time to find the perfect match.

When we first met Lilah, she wanted to attract someone

in a different way, so she turned herself into a giant magnet.

Did she really do that?

Yeah, it wasn't good.

On her previous scientific first date,

Lilah learned that magnets

do indeed have an invisible force of attraction...

..just not in the way she was hoping for.

RUMBLING

Ow.

Shall we sit down?

I don't think I can.

I've got a fork stuck in my bum.

That date was short and uncomfortable

in several different ways.

But Lilah is back,

for another scientific first date.

I'll be honest. I regret becoming a human magnet.

It turns out really strong magnets can wipe all the information

off of your computer,

and that's not made me popular at work.

And there's a surprise waiting for Lilah,

as her date Steve is also a human magnet.

Oh! Ooh!

Ooh!

What's going on?

Oh, magnets have north and south poles

and if you've got two magnets,

then the north end of one attracts the south end of the other.

But if the two ends are the same, then they repel each other.

I mean, what are the chances that I finally meet someone else

who's been magnetised too... Come on, don't be shy.

..and it turns out he's charged the same way round as I am?

Our heads are constantly pushing away from each other,

but my head is really attracted to his feet,

and they really smell.

It's never going to work is it?

CLATTERING

Oh.

Excuse me? Sorry, I think this might be an iron stool.

Iron is actually a metal that magnets are attracted to

really strongly.

Don't worry about it.

I'll just take this with me, that's fine.

Don't mind me.

Shall I take your order?

Yes, please. Can I have the melon?

Oh. Yeah, sorry about that. I'm a magnet.

I'm sorry too. I thought my watch was made of silver,

but silver is a nonmagnetic metal, so it must be fake!

OK! Ahhh!

Whoa!

Oh, metal shelves.

It's been a short, difficult date

and our love birds are ready to call it a night.

I'm sorry about all this.

So, do you think you'll see each other again?

I don't think so.

I mean, we can't even get near each other.

Yeah, but it's not been a totally wasted evening,

because my mum is going to meet Fred.

Come on, Fred. Let's get out of here.

Ooh!

You're going to love my mum.

Yeah, yeah, magnetism shmagnetism.

The best force of all has got to be gravity!

Out here in space, it's one of the strongest forces we know,

and it can even make stars and planets move!

It's the strength of my gravitational pull

that keeps the Earth and all the other planets in your solar system

revolving around me!

And, yes, I have been working out.

Thanks for noticing.

Whoosh...!

Director Lemann? Out of my way, Lesley.

I'm so sorry! He barged his way in. Shall I call security?

Should I call the fashion police?

Because you've been wearing the same clothes for a decade.

It's called business casual.

OK, stop. Moon, what is all this about?

I've come to book some time off.

Wait. You want a vacation?!

Yeah! I've been orbiting the Earth for 4.5 billion years,

ever since I was formed from bits of debris,

after something collided with the Earth.

I don't know what, I was a baby!

Anyway. Bye-bye, Earth. I'm off travelling. See ya!

No, you can't go travelling!

You orbit a planet. That's what moons do.

OK, hear me out.

Normally, I take 27 days and about seven hours

to orbit the Earth, right?

You watching? Yes, and the Earth takes around 365 days

and six hours to orbit the Sun.

We're stuck that way. What is your point?

What if I was to orbit faster?

Faster!

Yeah, faster. Faster!

Yeah?

I reckon I could do it in about 21 days,

which would give me six spare days!

I mean, did someone say weekends off?

Yeah. Stop that, Lesley.

Yes, please, Lesley.

Look, you can't have weekends off,

you can't go on vacation,

you just can't leave.

You are stuck in the Earth's gravitational pull.

It has been like that for billions of years.

Yeah, it feels so much longer!

Did you know, that because of the way that I rotate

as I'm orbiting the Earth,

it's always been the same half of me that's facing you?

I mean I've had the same view for billions of years,

which I realise, not a disaster for you guys,

because you get to look at all of this.

Moon, I can't help you.

This meeting is over. Lesley, show him the door.

I know - know the way out.

Ah! You've got a picture of me!

That's why you don't want me to leave.

I'll sign it.

Lesley, write this down.

Dear Lesley.

Buy new clothes. Bye!

It's workwear. Whatever.

I look good.

Einstein's Reaction Vids.

Hello, Albert Einsteins!

Welcome to another React Steins Vid,

where I watch science videos that make my hair stand on end.

Huh. So what are these guys doing? Building ein pole?

No, wait! It's a trampoline!

Ah, they are dropping something onto it -

the Earth's gravity will pull it downwards

and it will, as we say in the scientific community, go splat!

Melons away!

Oh, zat was sehr cool!

And you know what's even cooler?

Slow-mo!

To be honest, I was expecting something tiny bit more...

Wait...

Is that...ein car?

Oh!

Ohhh!

My goodness!

Ha-ha-ha!

Oh!

Did you see that?!

We are having ein science party!

Here, you can see all the energy from the car

moving through the air.

It gets transferred straight into the big trampoline.

Ze mat and ze springs are very elastic so they can stretch,

but then they will ping back into their original position,

transferring the energy back into the car,

which makes it, as we say in the scientific community,

go boing-boing!

Ha-ha. Look at it go!

Oh! That was amazing.

That gets one of my patented tongue waggles.

Smash that "like" button, ja?

Now I have to make like a car on ein trampoline,

and bounce!

Whoo!

So, now we know about forces,

let's see how we can take a small force

and use a simple machine to make the force bigger.

This slope is a simple machine.

This slug... Hello.

..is my lunch. What?

If I were to push the slug up the slope

and into my mouth, I would use less force than if I had to pick him up.

So, let me demonstrate.

Oh, he's gone.

SHE SIGHS

Don't know what to do now.

An ordinary house in Yorkshire, with an extraordinary problem.

Dad, just pick up the biscuit and hand it to me.

This is ridic ... Dah, dah, dah, dah.

You're welcome.

He's a great dad.

Precious cargo.

He just really likes levers.

CRASHING

Oh, goodness me!

The levers are OK!

Oh...

Goodness me.

He found out about levers online.

It turns out if you get a board and put it on a support,

you can lift a surprisingly heavy object with very little force.

Don't get me wrong, it's interesting.

It's just... it's taking over our lives.

Clive, kettles aren't that heavy. Just do it the old-fashioned way.

It IS the old-fashioned way.

People have been using levers since 5000BC.

Goodness!

Aah!

The ups and downs of living with a lever fan

have taken their toll on Miriam,

and things have come to a head.

Dad just pick up the remote -

we've been stuck on the same channel for hours!

There are some things you just can't lever.

Wrong again! You can lever anything!

As the ancient Greek engineer Archimedes once said,

give me a lever long enough with a fulcrum on which to place it

and I shall move the world.

Except in a Greek accent.

Clive, it's just all becoming quite a heavy load to bear.

Well, you know what would help with that, don't you?

Don't you dare say a lever!

Clive finally seems to understand the gravity of the situation,

and has decided to try life without levers...

..because his family threw them all out.

So it's been about three days since I made a lever.

I realise there's more to life than finding simple machines

that minimise physical effort, but...

SQUEAKING

What's that?

Oh, what, this? Oh, it's just a basic double pulley winch,

which means you use way less effort to lift heavy things.

Ooh. Dad, please, don't!

I want to get that. Come on, eh.

Get out of my way, please!

I want a double pulley winch!

The following day, and Clive's had an express delivery.

Oh!

Oh-ho! That's even better than I thought.

Look at that!

Archimedes would have blooming loved this.

Come inside and have your mind blown!

The Museum of Marvellous Machines!

Oh, this is it!

Now, I know those tickets weren't cheap

but it looks like it might have been worth it.

Welcome, to Mr Simpling's Museum of Marvellous Machines.

This is going to be fantastic!

Come! Crowd around our first contraption,

marvel at a machine that allows you to lift

the heaviest of objects with the greatest of ease!

Behold!

Here we go!

Ta-da!

A double pulley. With a simple pull of this rope,

this miraculous machine

allows you to halve the energy needed to raise the bucket.

Ooh!

That's just a bit of rope and some little wheels.

It's rubbish! How dare you?!

This is one of the classic simple machines,

out of which all other machines in the world are built.

We were hoping to see robots. Yeah.

I really just do simple machines. Oh. Oh.

But what is a robot, if not a collection of simple machines

working together to create a wonderous effect!

So, you do do robots?

No, we don't do robots!

What's he doing?

But perhaps I can pique your interest

with another machine most marvellous.

Is it better than a pulley? Ta-da!

I cannot believe we've paid for this.

That's not a machine, those are screws.

Technically, they are simple machines.

These marvels transform a turning force

into a forward force.

Oooh!

Please, try not to faint.

I just want to see one robot...

Oh, he's gone again. What? Oh, my.

But, pray tell. What's this mechanical marvel?

Is it a robot? Better!

A machine used to help build some of the

greatest architecture known to man!

I'll take that as a no.

Ta-da!

It's just a ramp!

Ah, yes. But what you call a ramp

is, in fact, an inclined plane.

Behold!

This makes it easier to lift heavy objects upwards. Look!

It's going!

We're going! Yeah.

No, no, no, no! I've got one more to show you!

Is it a refund machine?

Excuse me... Oh!

Behold!

It's a bike.

Whoa! Never seen one of those before.

Ah, but while you see a bicycle,

what I see is a multitude of simple machines working together

in perfect harmony, allowing the bicycle to move forward.

Isn't it majestic?

I guess it is pretty amazing, actually.

Don't get sucked in!

Sorry. We want our money back.

Yeah. We've seen a bike before.

But have you ever seen one do this...?

What, get ridden?

See ya! Bye! No refunds!

Oi! Wait! Come back!

So, there you go. That's forces and motion for you.

Basically different ways of moving stuff around.

Some forces, well, they help you push things,

and some can attract things towards you.

But, let's face it, when it comes to attraction,

you can't beat a quarkin waggling her nurgles at ya.

TINKLING

You're welcome.

Oh! Hello!

Looks like I've attracted somebody else too.

Ooh... Ahhh!

SHE BURPS

What? I told you I was hungry.

Of course, when it comes to attraction

you probably can't beat gravity,

and you lot love it, don't you?

You've been faffing about with it for centuries!

Coming soon,

The Totally Wicked Story of Gravity.

Once upon a time,

long before Elphaba and Glinda,

an apple fell on Sir Isaac Newton's head...

OK, so an apple never actually fell on my head.

I was just trying to explain gravity

and I used an apple falling as an example.

Ugh! OK...

But you were the first person to understand how gravity works

though, right? Oh, you bet I was!

I am...

I am the OG...E - original gravity explainer.

Right, enough chit-chat. Hit it!

Something every object has

Big or small it's still the case

This is a force that works on Earth

The Moon and throughout space

A force we call non-contact

That keeps us on the ground

It is a force that I am proud to say I found

So here am I

Describing gravity

So don't you try denying gravity

The force that pulls stuff down... #

Let gravity pull you to ancient Italy,

to meet popular astronomer Galileo,

who dropped cannon balls off a tower,

not just for LOLs,

but to find out if heavier objects

fell faster then lighter ones.

Look out below!

Dropping stuff

I'm going to be dropping stuff

To measure the speed it falls

All my cannon balls will land at the same time

Because they all accelerate the exact same rate

Everything will hit the ground

When I'm dropping stuff

I really like dropping stuff... #

What was that?!

Going to prove to you all that the speed things fall

If their mass is high or low

It's the same... # Argh!

Just make sure you check before you throw.

Urgh...

You really should have moved.

It's the musical that's out of this world - literally.

Because gravity affects everything in the universe,

including the Earth and the Moon.

Floating

People think that we're just floating

Up in space... #

That's lies! The whole thing!

Let's just say, it's gravity

I stay here because Earth is pulling me

And without the Sun's huge gravity

We'd simply both be floating

And because of gravitation

He makes tides

I'm a sensation

And this force is strong

Cos the pull of gravity is so great

We stick near our planetary mates

Without it we'd be floating

Floating through space all day long! #

Forcing its way into theatres this fall,

Gravity, the musical.

So if you wish to see it

Chuck something in the sky... #

Carefully!

What goes up must come down

But first it can travel up pretty high

Oh, we're describing gravity

Who knew that I was describing gravity?

Cos Earth's mass pulls things down!

Oo-oooo! #

Ow!

Ruined my last note.
