How much does a falling magnet weigh?
14,706 views
1 week ago
Following his previous demonstration of levitating superconductors, Andy returns to the Ri Prep Room to investigate a question: how much does a falling magnet weigh?
Armed with a large neodymium magnet, an aluminium tube and a set of scales, Andy explores the interaction of forces generated as the magnet falls and the effect these forces have on the objects' weight.
Explore more Tales from the Prep Room and let us know in the comments below which experiment you would like to see from us next: http://richannel.org/collec...

Chromosome Play
This series is an ambitious video journey through the human genome. Inspired by the forthcoming 'Life Fantastic' CHRISTMAS LECTURES with Dr Alison Woollard. The short films will explore the 23 pairs of human chromosomes and the mitochondrial DNA that make up the building blocks of human life.
Highlights include geneticist Dr Adam Rutherford exploring what 'junk' DNA is, a light-hearted look at male baldness with former Christmas lecturer Mark Miodownik, and a visit to Alison's lab at the University of Oxford to learn more about the genetic control of ageing. We'll explain Nobel Prize winning science, take a trip to the zoo and delve into the mysteries of ginger hair.
The series will also raise awareness of several rare and not-so-rare genetic disorders such as Alkaptonuria (AKU) as well as other more well known diseases with a hereditary link including breast cancer. Through interviews with experts and personal stories we'll reveal the genetic secrets behind these conditions and highlight the latest cutting-edge research to help prevent, treat and manage them.
