Cameron Diaz teaches Robot IR-2 (Ed Wasser) how astronomers can measure the mass of asteroids from tremendous distances.
Specifically, it describes the formula F=ma and how it can be used in conjunction with measurements of the Yarkovsky Effect, a force that can push around asteroids other objects in space.
This video is part of the Robot Astronomy Talk Show series. It airs as part of NASAs IRrelevant Astronomy (the IR stands for infrared), a channel of comedic educational videos.
