Video insights

@bit_wonder's TikTok video "Newton's Cannonball Into Orbit 🎧 How fast do you have to fire a cannonball so it never lands? About 7.9 km/s: it still falls, but the Earth curves away beneath it just as fast, and that is an orbit. A cannon on an impossibly tall mountain fires at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 km/s, and each ball lands farther round the curve, until the 7.9 km/s shot comes all the way back around (ignoring air, as Newton did). The ISS does exactly this, one lap every 93 minutes; gravity up there is still about 90% of ours, and astronauts float because they are falling too. #newtonscannonball #physics #pixelart #bitwonder" has 60,311 views, 3,783 likes, 38 comments, 246 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
