00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.320
Whoa, look at that floating banana.

00:00:05.380 --> 00:00:06.740
Is that possible?

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.800
It must be hovering because it is at rest and has no force acting upon it.

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:13.580
It is I, the Great Bananisimo!

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.280
I am here to teach you about objects at rest using bananas.

00:00:18.180 --> 00:00:21.080
You see, all objects have forces acting upon them.

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:22.660
Well, what about gravity?

00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:28.260
Well, gravity is the force that pulls objects toward each other, like me to Earth.

00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:30.720
See?

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:32.440
Ok, I understand now.

00:00:32.620 --> 00:00:35.060
There are also other forces acting on objects at rest...

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:36.400
like inertia.

00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:37.460
Huh?

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:40.680
Inertia is an object's tendency to remain the same.

00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:42.320
I am so lost.

00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:46.800
Basically, an object sitting on a table
won't move unless an outside force acts upon it.

00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:54.960
Inertia also means that an object with more mass requires more energy to move--

00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:01.440
like a trash can requires more
effort to move than a banana.

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:04.440
Oh, that makes sense.

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:08.560
So... all these rules.  The banana shouldn't be able to hover, right?

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.680
Precisely. The banana can't actually hover.

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.040
The laws a physics must end this defiance!

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.120
Invoke this banana with proper science!

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:27.100
[music]

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.100
Farewell, young student.

00:01:29.300 --> 00:01:30.660
Be sure to eat plenty of bananas.
