YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDo you feel the need… the need for speed?! On this Explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice break down why this might actually be a need for acceleration.
What’s the difference between speed and acceleration? Find out about vectors, velocity, and the motion of the earth. Have you ever timed how long it takes for a car to go from zero to 60? You’ll learn about “jerk” as a change of acceleration and what it does to the human body. What does it mean to “feel” speed and the road? We talk cars, planes, and why you can drink a glass of water in a turning airplane without spilling. All that, on another StarTalk explainer!
