Here is the latest result from my animation of the rocket launch to be included in my next video on Newton’s Third Law of Motion. During the final scene of the video I explain the forces acting on a rocket during launch and you get the chance to have a view of the launch from ...
Hi, I’m working on the final chapter of my next video on Newton’s third law of motion and just about to record the vocals for that chapter before doing the animation. At the same time I am also finishing the lip sync on the other chapters. This is potentially a time consuming part of the animation ...
I have just finished another chapter of my new video on Newton’s third law of motion. Here you see my kart set up to demonstrate how we may use Newton’s third law of motion to generate thrust and accelerate my kart to high velocity. The cylinder contains pressurised CO2 which on release creates a rearwards ...
Hi. I’m making good progress on my latest video on Newton’s third law of motion. Chapter 1 is complete and I am about to start animation of chapter 2. This kart is going to feature in several of the experiments I do to explore Newton’s third law at low and high speed. The kart has ...
Hi, Here is an image from my video on Newton’s third law of motion. When you are standing can you feel the force from the floor on your feet? Newton’s third law explains that as a result of you applying a force to the floor due to your weight, the floor will apply an equal force ...
Hi. I’m continuing to make progress on the development of my video on Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Below is an image taken from the beginning of the video. The law introduces the concept of action and reaction forces and this is posted on the wall behind me. I’ll use the wall to explain the law and ...
I have just completed the animation of my rocket “mac 1″ during liftoff. You can see the rocket as it lifts off the launch pad in the image below. The animation uses the Blender smoke simulation capabilities with additional lighting to give the necessary glow of the rocket engine during full thrust. The engine is designed to use Newton’s ...
Hi I have been modelling the rocket to be used in my video on Newton’s third law of motion. Here it is being prepared for launch and here is a close-up view. I am now about to start the modelling of the smoke and fire of the rocket as it takes off. Mac
Hi, I have now started developing the next video in the series of Professor Mac explains Newton’s Laws of Motion. Many viewers of my videos on YouTube, and readers of this website, have requested an explanation of the third law and that is what I am now preparing. For this production I will be posting ...

Hi. Here is an image from my new video, which I’m currently developing, which explains the use of a spring balance to measure force. You can see from the image that the new video will have a split screen format, which shows me as I add and remove masses from the spring balance as well ...
