Synopsis
Education

In this episode of Discover Science, explore the mystery of speed. The concept of relative velocity is demonstrated in a fascinating experiment in which a ball is thrown at various speeds using a machine placed on a truck that is moving at 100 km/h. The ball's behaviour, when recorded and examined in extreme slow motion, shows some curious results. The Discover Science series features spectacular experiments to sharpen your sense of science.
