Weightless or how to get into any introductory physics course.
This is a cool little physics experiment highlighting the concept of falling and weightlessness. The materials needed are two clothespins and a rubber band.
The visual provided by this experiment is subtle but helps to explain an important physics concept as it relates to gravity. The rubber band stops being stretched by the weight of the bottom clothespin resulting in the whole object being pulled at the same speed. Gravity, it’s the law!
