This video helped me to understand the concepts of free fall. The song is a remix of Tom Petty's "Free falling." The singer of the song uses his own personal lyrics, which talk about velocity, acceleration, then he goes more in depth of free fall. During the video, there are many scenes are showing free fall. Scenes such as people free falling with cars, off cliffs, animations, etc. With these scenes there are also slides that talk about how it takes the same time for an object to reach its maximum height as it takes for it to come back down.

  1. 1. I enjoyed the video because it gave real life examples, but then went on to explain how physics applied to the situations. It was nice to have diagrams explaining the math of the problem while the singer was singing the concept of the problem.
    2. My blog was specifically about cliff diving, whereas yours had some scenes of clifff divers, however they both included cliff diving, and an explanation of how that relates to free fall.
    3. One thing that was different was that mine did not have an explanation in the actual video, nor a catchy song explaining the concept.
    4. Your recource was perfect, and though it was obvious it connected to free fall and somewhat explained itself you did a great job summing it up. One piece of critism i have for you is that you might want to add some helpful equations in your summary.
