Transcript: Speed
An animated question mark mono cycles outside Zoey’s house holding a flag with the logo of the show: a magnifying glass with a question mark inside.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
Zoey holds a stopwatch and says I CAN RUN SUPER DUPER FAST.
I WANNA BE THE FASTEST KID IN MY
CLASS.
MAYBE EVEN THE WHOLE SCHOOL.
AW.
She runs fast around the attic and says BUT I'M STILL NOT FAST ENOUGH.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION I
GOT FROM FAITH.
A blond girl with glasses says HOW DO YOU MAKE THINGS GO
FASTER?
Zoey says HMM?
THAT SOUNDS EASY BUT SOME THINGS
JUST DON'T MOVE VERY FAST LIKE
IF I THROW A PIECE OF PAPER WITH
ALL MY MIGHT IT STILL WON'T MOVE
VERY FAST.
I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER YET BUT
I PROMISE TO FIND OUT BY THE END
OF THE SHOW HOW TO MAKE THINGS
MOVE FASTER BUT FIRST HERE'S A
REAL QUICK QUESTION FROM ELLA.
A brown haired girl with glasses says WHAT'S THE FASTEST THING IN THE
WORLD?
Zoey says GOOD QUESTION.
THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL IS A
CHEETAH.
IT CAN REACH SPEEDS OF 120
KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
THAT'S FASTER THAN THE SPEED
LIMIT ON A HIGHWAY.
THE FASTEST VEHICLE ON LAND IS A
ROCKET SLED AT 10,325 KILOMETRES
PER HOUR.
THAT'S 31 FOOTBALL FIELDS PER
SECOND.
IT'S USED BY THE U.S.
AIR-FORCE TO TEST EQUIPMENT.
WHAT?
THE JUNO SPACECRAFT CAN GO
265,000 KILOMETRES PER HOUR AS
IT WHIZZES THROUGH SPAAAAACE?
265,000 KILOMETRES PER HOUR?
IT'S LIKE GOING AROUND THE WORLD
IN 10 MINUTES OR GOING TO THE
MOON IN AN HOUR AND A HALF.
IT'S 80 TIMES FASTER THAN A
BULLET.
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says BUT HOW DO THINGS GET TO MOVE SO
FAST?
TO SPEED THINGS UP PLEASE
WELCOME CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY
ENGINEER KUMI JINADASA.
Kumi zooms in and says HI ZOEY.
Kumi is in her twenties, with long brown hair and wears black jeans and a deep purple T-shirt.
Zoey says WHOA.
THAT WAS FAST.
Kumi says I LOVE GOING FAST.
FOLLOW ME.
Zoey says IT LOOKS LIKE YOU LOVE GOING
FAST AS MUCH AS I DO.
Kumi says ACTUALLY I REALLY DO.
WHEN I WAS A KID I WAS REALLY
INTERESTED IN HOW FAST THINGS
MOVE AND WHY THEY MOVE SO FAST.
WITH MY JOB AT THE CANADIAN
SPACE AGENCY KNOWING HOW MOTION
WORKS REALLY COMES INTO PLAY IN
EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
THAT WE DEAL WITH WHETHER IT BE
AN ASTRONAUT DOING A SPACE WALK,
BLASTING A ROCKET OFF INTO OUTER
SPACE OR HOW A ROVER MOVES ON
DIFFERENT PLANETS.
Zoey says WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GOING FAST ON EARTH THAN IN
SPACE?
Kumi says TO MOVE FAST IN SPACE IS
ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT EASIER
BECAUSE ON EARTH WE HAVE 2
DIFFERENT FORCES.
THE FIRST IS GRAVITY.
Zoey says OH YEAH.
WHEN I JUMP UP I FALL DOWN.
Kumi says EXACTLY.
THE SECOND FORCE IS FRICTION.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU STUCK
YOUR HAND OUT OF A CAR WINDOW
THAT'S MOVING?
Zoey says IT'S LIKE GOING BACK AND FORTH.
Kumi says IT'S PUSHING YOU BECAUSE THERE'S
A RESISTANCE AND THAT IS AIR
FRICTION.
Zoey says OH.
KIND OF LIKE WHEN I THROW THIS
PIECE OF PAPER.
Kumi says THE AIR SLOWS
IT DOWN.
THE AIR DOES SLOW IT DOWN AND IT
FALLS TO THE GROUND BECAUSE OF
GRAVITY BUT IN SPACE THAT PIECE
OF PAPER WOULD CONTINUE MOVING
FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME
BECAUSE THERE'S NO AIR.
Zoey says WHAT IF I WANTED THINGS TO MOVE
FASTER HERE ON EARTH?
Kumi says WELL ZOEY,
FOLLOW ME.
They zoom to the table.
Kumi says HEY, WHAT TOOK
YOU SO LONG?
I HAVE SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A PICTURE
OF ME WHEN I WAS IN
GRADE 10 AT MY
SCIENCE FAIR AND I HAVE A DEVICE
HERE THAT I MADE THAT
DEMONSTRATES THE EFFECTS OF
FRICTION.
HERE ON THE TABLE
WE HAVE A REALLY
SIMILAR DEVICE.
BASICALLY, WE HAVE A BOX AND
THERE'S 2 HAIR DRYERS WITH HOLES
IN THE BOX SO THE AIR CAN GO
INTO THE BOX AND THEN I HAVE
THIS PIECE OF HARD PLASTIC AND
THE AIR COMES OUT OF THESE
HOLES.
I WANT YOU TO OBSERVE
HOW THIS CUP MOVES ON
THE SMOOTH SURFACE.
Zoey says OKAY.
Kumi says IT STOPS.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says LET'S OBSERVE WHAT HAPPENS TO
THE CUP IF WE TURN THE AIR ON.
Zoey says OKAY.
The cup keeps moving.
Kumi says SO WHAT DID
YOU OBSERVE?
Zoey says IT WAS LIKE THE CUP WAS
FLOATING.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT.
THE AIR MADE A THIN LAYER ON THE
SURFACE AND THE CUP WASN'T IN
CONTACT WITH IT SO THERE WAS NO
FRICTION.
IN MY SCIENCE FAIR
PROJECT I ALSO
WANTED TO OBSERVE
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FRICTION
WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS.
OKAY.
LET'S TAKE THIS STYROFOAM MAT.
HOW DO YOU THINK THE MOTIONS
GONNA BE?
Zoey says I FEEL LIKE THERE'S GONNA BE A
LOT OF FRICTION.
Kumi says LET'S SEE.
IT BARELY MOVED.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says THIS HAS A LOT MORE FRICTION
THAN THE SMOOTH SURFACE.
LET'S TRY WITH THE WOOD.
Zoey says BETTER BUT STILL STOPS.
Kumi says YEAH, LET'S TRY WITH
BRISTOL BOARD.
STILL HAS A LOT OF FRICTION.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says IF WE HAVE NO FRICTION THIS
CUP CAN MOVE FASTER AND A LOT
EASIER
AND THAT LEADS US INTO THE FIRST
LAW OF MOTION.
Zoey says AN OBJECT AT REST STAYS AT REST
AND AN OBJECT IN MOTION STAYS IN
MOTION.
UNLESS ACTED UPON BY A FORCE.
Kumi says WE CAN DEMONSTRATE
THE SECOND
LAW OF MOTION
PLAYING A GAME OF AIR HOCKEY.
Zoey says I'M IN.
Kumi says LET'S DO IT.
Zoey says I SCORED.
Kumi says NICE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN
IF THIS PUCK WAS HEAVIER?
Zoey says IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T MOVE AS
FAST.
Kumi says WANNA TRY?
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says LET'S USE THIS AS A WEIGHT
ON TOP OF THE PUCK.
AND I'M GONNA USE THIS RULER SO
THAT I COULD PUSH BOTH PUCKS AT
THE SAME TIME WITH THE SAME
FORCE.
Zoey says OKAY.
Kumi says I SCORED.
Zoey says YEAH.
THE LIGHTER ONE WENT WAY
FARTHER.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO DO
TO THIS ONE TO MAKE IT MOVE JUST
AS FAR?
Zoey says YOU NEED TO PUSH IT HARDER.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT ZOEY, WE
NEED MORE FORCE.
Zoey says LAW OF MOTION #2.
TO MOVE SOMETHING FASTER YOU
NEED TO PUSH HARDER.
Kumi says TO DEMONSTRATE THE THIRD LAW WE
HAVE THESE 2 IDENTICAL ROLLING
CHAIRS.
They push each other, roll back on the chairs and say PUSH.
Kumi says WHAT DID YOU NOTICE ABOUT
THE MOTION?
Zoey says WELL, WE BOTH WENT BACK BUT
I WENT FURTHER BECAUSE I'M
LIGHTER.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE WERE THE
SAME WEIGHT?
Zoey says WE WOULD BOTH GO BACK THE SAME
DISTANCE.
Kumi says THAT'S EXACTLY HOW THE LAW
IS STATED.
FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN
EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
A GOOD TIP TO MAKE THINGS MOVE
FASTER IS TO KEEP THESE LAWS IN
MIND.
Zoey says THANKS FOR HELPING ME FIND STUFF
OUT KUMI.
Kumi says YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says BYE.
Kumi says BYE.
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Zoey says HI FABIOLA, AARON AND
SHAKIB.
They all say HI ZOEY.
Fabiola is around with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail and wears black trousers and a black and white T-shirt.
Shakib is in his forties, with short brown hair and a beard. He wears glasses, gray trousers and a blue shirt.
Aaron is around 12, with curly brown hair in a crest and wears a green and white T-shirt.
Zoey says WHAT'S YOUR SPEEDY, EXPERIMENT
TODAY?
Shakib says TODAY'S EXPERIMENT WE'RE GOING
TO USE SOME PLAYING CARDS, SOME
EMPTY WATER BOTTLES AND SOME
OBJECTS WE FOUND AROUND THE
HOUSE.
FABIOLA HAS SOME LOOSE CHANGE
THAT SHE FOUND.
AARON HAS SOME HEX NUTS AND I
HAVE A BATTERY.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS APPLY
A FORCE TO OUR PLAYING CARDS AND
THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR
EVERYDAY OBJECTS.
They cover the bottles with a card and place an object on top.
Fabiola flicks her card and the object goes in the bottle. She says YES.
Aaron flicks his card and the object goes in the bottle.
He says YEAH.
Shakib flicks his card and says HOORAY.
Zoey says HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
Shakib says NOW OUR PLAYING CARDS ARE MUCH
LIGHTER THAN OUR EVERYDAY
OBJECTS SO WHEN WE APPLIED A
FORCE TO OUR PLAYING CARDS THEY
WENT FLYING AWAY BUT OUR BATTERY
IS MUCH HEAVIER.
WHEN OUR PLAYING CARD MOVED OUT
OF THE WAY THERE WAS AN EMPTY
HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE WATER
BOTTLE AND GRAVITY DID THE REST
FOR US.
Zoey says SO THE HEAVIER THE OBJECT THE
EASIER IT IS?
Shakib says THAT'S RIGHT.
Zoey says MY TRICK WAS
HARDER THAN
YOURS BECAUSE
MY HEX NUT IS LIGHTER
THAN YOUR BATTERY.
Fabiola says AND MY TRICK WAS HARDER THAN
BOTH OF YOURS BECAUSE MY DIMES
ARE LIGHTER THAN YOUR HEX NUT
AND YOUR BATTERY.
Shakib says ABSOLUTELY CORRECT BUT I DO HAVE
ANOTHER EXPERIMENT TO SHARE WITH
YOU ZOEY.
Zoey says AWESOME.
Fabiola says NOW WE'RE GONNA
DO THE TABLE
CLOTH TRICK.
Shakib says WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS TAKE
SOME WATER AND POUR IT INTO MY
CUPS HERE.
1, 2, AND 3.
NEXT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS
BUILD A LITTLE BIT OF A TOWER.
SO I'VE GOT A BOWL, A CUP, A
PLATE, A BOWL, A CUP AND THEN
AGAIN A PLATE, A BOWL, AND A
CUP.
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS PULL ON
THE TABLECLOTH AND HOPEFULLY THE
WHOLE TOWER WILL STAY STANDING
AND THE TABLECLOTH WILL GET
PULLED FROM UNDERNEATH.
ARE YOU READY ZOEY?
Zoey says YES.
Shakib says HERE WE GO.
3, 2, 1.
TA-DA.
Zoey says WOW.
WHAT ABOUT YOU AARON?
Aaron does the trick.
Zoey says AWESOME.
FABIOLA, YOU TRY.
Fabiola drops the cups, plates and bowls.
Zoey says OH NO.
YOU WEREN'T FAST ENOUGH.
SPEED MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
THANKS GUYS.
They all say
BYE ZOEY.
Zoey says THAT MAKES ME THINK OF SOMETHING
MY FRIEND WAS WONDERING.
A girl named Maya says WHAT'S THE FASTEST OBJECT IN
SPORTS?
Zoey says IS IT A HOCKEY PUCK?
A SOCCER BALL?
A TENNIS BALL?
A BASEBALL?
IT'S NONE OF THESE.
I FOUND OUT IT'S A BADMINTON
BIRDIE.
An animated Badminton birdie says HEY, HEY.
Zoey says THE RECORD IS 493
KILOMETRES AN HOUR.
Birdie flies past the ball and says WEEEEEE...
Zoey says THAT'S ALMOST 4 TIMES
FASTER THAN THE FASTEST
BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL.
An animated ball says AWWW.
Zoey says BADMINTON BIRDIES MAY BE
THE FASTEST SPORTS OBJECT BUT
BADMINTON ISN'T ACTUALLY THE
FASTED SPORT.
Two boys play ping pong in the attic.
Zoey plays the ukulele and sings I WANNA SEE FAST AND THEY'RE
GONNA SHOW ME TABLE TENNIS
EXPERTS WENBIN AND TOMMY
Zoey says HI WENBIN.
Wenbin is around 15, with short black hair and wears black shorts and a black, blue and white T-shirt.
He says HELLO.
Zoey says HI TOMMY.
Tommy is around 15, with short black hair and wears black shorts and a blue and orange T-shirt.
He says HI.
Zoey says YOU GUYS MOVE CRAZY FAST.
Wenbin says THANKS ZOEY.
ALTHOUGH BADMINTON BIRDIES CAN
GATHER THE MOST SPEED TABLE
TENNIS IS ACTUALLY THE SPORT
WHERE THE ATHLETES REQUIRE THE
FASTEST REACTION TIMES.
Zoey says REACTION TIME IS THE TIME
BETWEEN WHEN A PERSON NOTICES
SOMETHING AND REACTS.
An animated caveman dodges a rolling stone and blows a raspberry at it.
Zoey says OR NOT.
The caveman gets hit by several stones and says OH.
Wenbin says BECAUSE OF THE BALL SPEED VS THE
TABLE LENGTH TABLE TENNIS
PLAYERS NEED TO REACT REALLY
FAST AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE BALL
COMES TOO FAST YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
TO REACT BEFORE YOUR OPPONENT
HITS THE BALL IN ORDER TO REACT
TO YOUR OPPONENTS BALL.
Zoey says WHAT?
BEFORE HE HITS THE BALL?
Wenbin says IN ORDER TO DO THAT YOU NEED TO
LOOK AT YOUR OPPONENTS
POSITIONING, HIS BODY LANGUAGE,
HOW HIS SHOULDERS ARE PLACED AND
HOW HE PREPARES FOR THE BALL.
Zoey says WOW.
YOU HIT THAT BALL REALLY HARD
AND IT STILL HIT THE TABLE.
HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
Wenbin says IN ORDER TO HIT THE BALL REALLY
HARD AND STILL MAKE IT LAND ON
THE TABLE YOU NEED TO PUT SPIN
ON THE BALL.
IN THIS CASE YOU NEED TO PUT TOP
SPIN.
WHEN THE BALL GOES IN THAT
DIRECTION THERE'S AIR RESISTANCE
COUNTERING THE BALL IN THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
WHEN THE BALL SPINS LIKE THIS
THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED THE
MAGNUS EFFECT.
WHEN THE TOP OF THE BALL HITS
THAT AIR RESISTANCE THAT CREATES
PRESSURE ON TOP OF THE BALL AND
LESS PRESSURE ON THE BOTTOM.
THAT MAKES THE BALL DROP SO YOU
CAN HIT HARD AND STILL MAKE THE
BALL DROP.
Zoey says OH YEAH.
THE BALL IS DROPPING WAY SOONER
BECAUSE OF HOW YOU HIT IT.
Wenbin says WE CAN ALSO PUT SIDE SPIN SO THE
BALL CAN SPIN IN THIS DIRECTION,
IN THE OTHER DIRECTION OR EVEN
UNDER SPIN WHICH MAKES THE BALL
SPIN IN THIS DIRECTION.
Zoey says COOL.
CAN YOU SHOW ME?
A slow motion clip shows how the ball turns.
Zoey says DID YOU SEE HOW THAT BALL
TURNED?
WOW.
THEY'RE REALLY FAST.
I WONDER HOW FAST MY FRIENDS
REACTION TIMES ARE?
IT'S TIME FOR... .
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says TODAY'S CHALLENGERS ARE MAXIME
AND KENNY.
Maxime is around 13, with short brown hair and wears a black shorts and a burgundy and white T-shirt.
Kenny is around 12, with short black hair and wears glasses, black shorts and a burgundy and white T-shirt.
Wenbin says THE CHALLENGE FOR YOU IS TO SEE
WHO CAN HIT THE MOST BALLS
AGAINST TOMMY.
Zoey says MAXIME YOU'LL GO FIRST.
READY AND GO.
CHALLENGERS GET 2 ROUNDS.
MAXIME IS VOLLEYING LIKE A PRO.
15 BALLS!
HE'S OFF TO A GOOD START.
KENNY YOU'RE UP AND GO.
WOW.
KENNY'S GOING REALLY FAST.
HE'LL BEAT MAXIME'S SCORE IF HE
KEEPS THIS UP.
OH NO.
14 BALLS.
1 MORE WOULD HAVE TIED IT UP.
OKAY MAXIME YOU'RE UP AGAIN AND
GO.
MAXIME IS AHEAD BY 1.
CAN HE HOLD ONTO HIS LEAD?
BOTH CHALLENGERS ARE GIVING
TOMMY A RUN FOR HIS MONEY.
13, 14, 15.
HE'S DOING BETTER IN ROUND 2.
OH NO.
18 AND HE'S DONE.
OKAY KENNY AND GO.
KENNY NEEDS TO KEEP THAT BALL
ALIVE IF HE WANTS TO CATCH UP.
18, 19.
WOW.
KENNY TAKES THE LEAD.
HOW MANY MORE CAN HE HIT?
HE'S LIKE A TABLE TENNIS
MACHINE.
38 BALLS IN ROUND 2.
AWESOME.
THE RESULTS ARE IN.
Tommy says 33 FOR MAXIME...
Wenbin says AND 53 FOR KENNY.
Zoey says KENNY YOU'RE THE WINNER, GOOD
JOB.
Kenny says YAY.
(music plays)
In animation, Zoey waves from the front door of the house, which rises on robot legs and walks away.
A caption reads "Do try this at home."
Zoey says HOW ABOUT CHECKING OUT YOUR OWN
REACTION TIME.
MY FRIENDS HAVE A SIMPLE WAY TO
DO THAT.
HI KENYA AND WILLIAM.
They say HI ZOEY.
Kenya is around 12, with braided curly brown hair and wears jeans and a printed gray T-shirt with pink details.
William is around 11, with short light brown hair and wears black sweatpants and a blue T-shirt.
Zoey says SHOW US YOUR TRICK.
IT'S CALLED THE RULER DROP.
Kenya drops a ruler and William catches it with two fingers.
Zoey says WHEN YOU CATCH IT LOOK AT THE
NUMBER ON THE RULER.
William says 10.
Zoey says THE LOWER THE NUMBER THE
FASTER YOUR REACTION TIME.
Kenya says 17.
William says 8.
Kenya says 29.
Zoey says AND WHO'S GOT THE FASTEST
REACTION TIME?
William says ME.
Zoey says THANKS GUYS.
They say BYE ZOEY.
Zoey says NEXT QUESTION.
IT'S FROM LAURA.
A girl with brown hair in a ponytail says IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL OUT OF
THE ROLLER COASTER IF IT'S TOO
FAST?
Zoey says GREAT QUESTION LAURA.
I ASKED MY
FRIEND SHAKIB
TO ANSWER THAT.
TAKE IT AWAY.
Shakib says I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS AND
LOOP-DE-LOOPS BUT HOW DO THOSE
CARS STICK TO THE RAILS?
WE'RE GOING TO USE A LARGE
YELLOW BUCKET.
THANK YOU ZOEY AND THEN A PAIL
OF PING PONG BALLS.
AS I SPIN IT AROUND
I'M CHANGING
THE ACCELERATION
AND CREATING
SOMETHING CALLED
CENTRIPETAL FORCE.
THAT CENTRIPETAL
FORCE STICKS MY
PING PONG BALLS
TO MY BIG
YELLOW BUCKET.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GIVE IT A
TRY ZOEY?
Zoey says SURE.
Shakib says GO AHEAD.
WOW THAT'S
GREAT.
NOW AS ZOEY SPINS
THAT BUCKET FASTER
AND FASTER THERE'S
MORE FORCE CREATED
AND THE BALLS DON'T
RATTLE AROUND ANYMORE
BUT IF ZOEY SLOWS
DOWN ANY... .
OH NO, WE MADE A BIG MESS.
Zoey says SO GOING FASTER ON A ROLLER
COASTER KEEPS YOU SAFER?
Shakib says ABSOLUTELY THE FASTER YOU
GO THE SAFER YOU ARE.
Zoey says I REALLY DO LOVE SUPER FAST
ROLLER COASTERS.
THANKS SHAKIB.
Shakib says YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says I ASKED MY FRIENDS WHY THEY LIKE
IT.
A caption on a screen behind her says "Ask a friend."
A girl with reddish blond hair says IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE GOING SO
FAST THAT YOU CAN'T FEEL
YOURSELF.
A blond girl says IT'S LIKE I'M LIFTING OFF THE
SEAT.
A girl in a purple T-shirt says IT FEELS LIKE I'M SKY DIVING.
AHHH.
A boy with wavy light brown hair says I LIKE THE WIND IN MY FACE.
AHHH.
A girl with light brown hair in a half ponytail says IT LIKE TICKLES YOUR STOMACH.
AHHH.
A blond boy says I KIND OF FEEL LIKE I'M FREE.
IT FEELS GOOD.
A boy in a pink T-shirt says IT'S THE BEST THING EVER I LOVE
BEING SCARED AND I GET SCARED A
LOT.
A girl in a white T-shirt says THE SPEED MAKES IT FUN.
AHHH.
Zoey says THAT KIND OF SPEED WOULD HAVE
SCARED PEOPLE NOT SO LONG AGO.
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
In old clothing, Zoey rides an old bicycle and says TACHOPHOBIA IS A FEAR OF SPEED
AND GOING FAST AND LET ME TELL
YOU I'VE GOT IT BAD.
I'M ZIPPING ALONG ON THIS NEW
INVENTION CALLED A BICYCLE.
CRAZY.
THEY SAY IF I GO TOO FAST I'LL
GET BICYCLE FACE.
LIKE THIS.
She makes a funny face.
On a train, Zoey says UH-OH.
NOW I'M ON A TRAIN MOVING EVEN
FASTER.
OUR BODIES WEREN'T MADE TO
TRAVEL AT INCREDIBLE SPEEDS OF
50 KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
OUR BODIES WILL MELT.
AH.
In a car, Zoey says OH DEAR.
NOW I'M IN A CAR.
THIS IS CRAZY.
I'M A GIRL.
GIRLS CAN'T DRIVE THIS FAST.
WE'LL FAINT.
AH.
Back in the attic, Zoey says WHAT?
GIRLS NOT ALLOWED TO GO FAST?
THAT'S NUTTY.
PEOPLE IN THE PAST HAD SOME
STRANGE IDEAS ABOUT SPEED AND IT
SCARED THEM BUT I LOVE TO GO
FAST AND THE HUMAN BODY CAN DEAL
WITH VERY HIGH SPEED.
ON THE GROUND, ONE DRIVER ZOOMED
AT 1223 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN
THE JET PROPELLED CAR THRUSTSSC.
IN THE AIR, PILOTS HAVE FLOWN
7275 KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
IN SPACE, ASTRONAUTS HAVE FLOWN
40,000 KILOMETRES AN HOUR SO
PEOPLE IN THE PASSED HAD NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT BUT ALL THIS
SPEED TALK MAKES ME WANT TO MOVE
FASTER AND FASTER.
Zoey runs on a track and sings a song that says I LOVE TO RUN FAST
I LOVE TO MOVE QUICK
I LOVE TO ZOOM AND ZIP
MY MOVES ARE SO SLICK WHEN I
HIT THE TRACK
I DON'T LOOK BACK BECAUSE I
LOVE TO RUN
FAST
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
I LOVE TO MAKE TRACKS
I LOVE TO VAMOOSE
I AM BOOKING AND I'M COOKING
AND I'M JETTING LOOSE
WHEN I HIT THE TRACK I DON'T
LOOK BACK BECAUSE I LOVE TO
RUN
FAST
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
The song ends.
Zoey runs on a track and says LOOK AT ME GO.
I'VE NEVER RUN SO FAST.
WOW.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS RACING
WITH CHAMPION SPRINTERS TATIANA
AHOLOU AND DEONDRA GREEN.
TATIANA AND DEONDRA ARE AMAZING
ATHLETES.
THEY COMPETED IN THE
COMMONWEALTH YOUTH GAMES AND
BROUGHT HOME MEDALS.
THEY WORK SUPER HARD AT GOING
SUPER FAST.
WHAT AN HONOUR
IT IS TO MEET
YOU.
Deondra is in her twenties, with long braided brown hair and wears a tracksuit.
Tatiana is in her twenties, with curly brown hair in a top knot and wears a tracksuit.
Deondra says NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.
Tatiana says NICE TO MEET
YOU ZOEY.
Zoey says MY FRIEND HAS A QUESTION.
Jayden says HOW CAN A HUMAN RUN FASTER?
Tatiana says WE ASK OURSELVES
THAT ALL THE
TIME.
Deondra says AND I KNOW
SOMEONE WHO CAN
HELP US WITH THAT.
THIS IS MY COACH RASHEED DIN.
Rasheed is in his thirties, with short curly brown hair and wears jeans and a tracksuit jacket.
He says HEY ZOEY.
I HEARD YOU REALLY WANT TO RUN
FASTER.
Zoey says I DO.
Rasheed says I CAN HELP YOU.
THE FIRST THING TO DO IS TO TIME
YOU SO WE CAN TELL THAT YOU'RE
IMPROVING.
READY TO RACE?
Zoey says I WAS BORN READY.
Rasheed says ON YOUR MARKS, SET, GO.
ZOey starts running.
A caption on the screen reads "10.2 seconds. 50 meter race."
Rasheed says GREAT JOB.
Zoey says THANKS.
Rasheed says ALRIGHT SO LET'S
SEE IF WE CAN
IMPROVE THIS BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY
WE'RE GONNA CHANGE
YOUR CLOTHING.
Zoey says OKAY.
Now Zoey wears leggings and a T-shirt.
Zoey says CHECK ME OUT
I LOOK SO FAST.
Rasheed says THOSE FORM FITTING CLOTHES WILL
DECREASE WIND RESISTANCE.
THAT'S THE FRICTION FROM THE AIR
THAT WAS SLOWING YOU DOWN
BEFORE.
Zoey says OH I GET IT.
MY SLEEK NEW CLOTHES DECREASE
FRICTION JUST LIKE THE PLEXI
GLASS IN KUMI'S AIR TABLE.
WHAT ABOUT MY SHOES?
MY FRIEND ADRIANA WAS WONDERING.
Adriana says WHY DO SHOES MAKE YOU RUN
FASTER?
Rasheed says THE RIGHT SHOES CAN MAKE YOU RUN
FASTER BUT NOT THOSE.
He gives her running shoes and says TRY THESE.
THESE SHOES HELP YOU STICK TO
THE TRACK AND IT ALLOWS YOU TO
PUSH OFF THE TRACK WITHOUT
SLIPPING.
Animated Zoey says WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S FRICTION.
MY SLICK CLOTHES DECREASE
FRICTION AND WIND RESISTANCE BUT
MY SHOES ACTUALLY INCREASE
FRICTION WITH THE GROUND PUSHING
ME FORWARD.
Rasheed says THAT IS CORRECT.
Zoey says OKAY.
I'M ALL
SUITED UP.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Rasheed says FIRST THING IS YOUR BODY
POSTURE.
STAND UP STRAIGHT.
HIPS IN FRONT.
ARMS, 90 DEGREES BENT.
PULL ONE ARM BACK WHILE THE
OTHER ONE COMES RIGHT IN FRONT
OF YOU.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT THIS
HAND THAT'S IN FRONT IS TO YOUR
MOUTH LEVEL.
REMEMBER KEEP YOUR ARMS CLOSE TO
YOUR BODY.
STAY TALL AT ALL TIMES.
AND YOUR KNEES.
VERY IMPORTANT IS TO RAISE YOUR
KNEE UP HIGH AND PULL YOUR TOES
UP AND DOWN.
PUSH BACK AND THEN FORWARD.
PUSH BACK.
GOOD.
ARE YOU READY TO RACE?
Zoey says I SURE AM.
Rasheed says IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT WINNING
BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IN
ACHIEVING YOUR PERSONAL BEST
WITH SOME STIFF COMPETITION.
Zoey says ANOTHER RACE WITH TATIANA
AND DEONDRA?
THIS IS THE BEST RACE DAY EVER.
Rasheed says SET.
GO.
They race.
Tatiana says GOOD JOB ZOEY.
Zoey says THANKS.
Deondra says GOOD JOB
ZOEY.
Rasheed says GUYS, REALLY
WELL DONE.
ZOEY, YOU RAN 1.6 SECONDS
FASTER.
A caption on the screen reads "8.6 seconds. 50 meter race."
Rasheed says A NEW PERSONAL BEST.
Zoey says WOOHOO.
THANKS.
She speeds back to the attic and says I'VE BEEN FAST AND SPEEDY AND
RACED MY WAY BACK TO ANSWER
TODAY'S BIG QUESTION.
Faith says HOW DO YOU MAKE THINGS GO
FASTER?
Zoey plays the keyboards and says THE BIG ANSWER IS...
INCREASE THE FORCE AND ADJUST
FRICTION.
IN KUMI'S EXPERIMENT, WE SAW
THAT LESS FRICTION MADE THE CUP
MOVE FASTER.
ON THE RACETRACK, LESS FRICTION
FROM MY CLOTHES BUT MORE
FRICTION FROM MY SHOES HELPED ME
GO FASTER.
ALSO, INCREASING THE FORCE ON
SOMETHING MAKES IT GO FASTER AND
IF YOU HAVE A QUICK REACTION
TIME YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO A
FAST VICTORY.
She zooms around the attic, looks at the stopwatch and says OH YEAH.
NEW PERSONAL BEST.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOR MORE
FINDING STUFF OUT.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "I love to run" song plays again.

The song goes I LOVE TO RUN FAST
I LOVE TO MOVE QUICK
I LOVE TO ZOOM AND ZIP
MY MOVES ARE SO SLICK WHEN I
HIT THE TRACK
I DON'T LOOK BACK BECAUSE I
LOVE TO RUN
FAST
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
I LOVE TO MAKE TRACKS
I LOVE TO VAMOOSE
I AM BOOKING AND I'M COOKING
AND I'M JETTING LOOSE
WHEN I HIT THE TRACK I DON'T
LOOK BACK BECAUSE I LOVE TO
RUN FAST.
In the attic, Zoey focuses the camera towards her and starts dancing around as animated stickers appear on the screen.
Zoey is around 12, with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail. She wears a printed red dress, a denim vest, a beaded necklace and a watch.
(music plays)
Music grabs a ukulele and starts playing and sings a song as other Zoeys appear behind her doing different things.
The song goes MY NAME IS ZOEY
AND THIS IS MY SHOW
I'M FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
JUST ASK ME A QUESTION
THAT I DON'T KNOW
THAT'S WHY "FINDING STUFF OUT."
IS THE NAME OF MY SHOW
Several kids pop up in frames of different shapes and colours.
The title Finding Stuff Out, where the letter O is replaced by a magnifying glass, appears several times on the screen.
The song continues SO JUST GIVE ME A SHOUT
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT
WITH THE HELP
OF SOME FRIENDS
On her laptop screen roll different clips that show Zoey and her friends doing different activities as animated characters roll over the screen.
The song continues AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
ON "FINDING STUFF OUT"
FINDING STUFF OUT
FINDING STUFF OUT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YEAH
Zoey holds a stopwatch and says I CAN RUN SUPER DUPER FAST.
I WANNA BE THE FASTEST KID IN MY
CLASS.
MAYBE EVEN THE WHOLE SCHOOL.
AW.
She runs fast around the attic and says BUT I'M STILL NOT FAST ENOUGH.
THAT REMINDS ME OF A QUESTION I
GOT FROM FAITH.
A blond girl with glasses says HOW DO YOU MAKE THINGS GO
FASTER?
Zoey says HMM?
THAT SOUNDS EASY BUT SOME THINGS
JUST DON'T MOVE VERY FAST LIKE
IF I THROW A PIECE OF PAPER WITH
ALL MY MIGHT IT STILL WON'T MOVE
VERY FAST.
I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER YET BUT
I PROMISE TO FIND OUT BY THE END
OF THE SHOW HOW TO MAKE THINGS
MOVE FASTER BUT FIRST HERE'S A
REAL QUICK QUESTION FROM ELLA.
A brown haired girl with glasses says WHAT'S THE FASTEST THING IN THE
WORLD?
Zoey says GOOD QUESTION.
THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL IS A
CHEETAH.
IT CAN REACH SPEEDS OF 120
KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
THAT'S FASTER THAN THE SPEED
LIMIT ON A HIGHWAY.
THE FASTEST VEHICLE ON LAND IS A
ROCKET SLED AT 10,325 KILOMETRES
PER HOUR.
THAT'S 31 FOOTBALL FIELDS PER
SECOND.
IT'S USED BY THE U.S.
AIR-FORCE TO TEST EQUIPMENT.
WHAT?
THE JUNO SPACECRAFT CAN GO
265,000 KILOMETRES PER HOUR AS
IT WHIZZES THROUGH SPAAAAACE?
265,000 KILOMETRES PER HOUR?
IT'S LIKE GOING AROUND THE WORLD
IN 10 MINUTES OR GOING TO THE
MOON IN AN HOUR AND A HALF.
IT'S 80 TIMES FASTER THAN A
BULLET.
In animation, Zoe’s head explodes.
A caption reads "You’re gonna make my head explode."
Zoey says BUT HOW DO THINGS GET TO MOVE SO
FAST?
TO SPEED THINGS UP PLEASE
WELCOME CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY
ENGINEER KUMI JINADASA.
Kumi zooms in and says HI ZOEY.
Kumi is in her twenties, with long brown hair and wears black jeans and a deep purple T-shirt.
Zoey says WHOA.
THAT WAS FAST.
Kumi says I LOVE GOING FAST.
FOLLOW ME.
Zoey says IT LOOKS LIKE YOU LOVE GOING
FAST AS MUCH AS I DO.
Kumi says ACTUALLY I REALLY DO.
WHEN I WAS A KID I WAS REALLY
INTERESTED IN HOW FAST THINGS
MOVE AND WHY THEY MOVE SO FAST.
WITH MY JOB AT THE CANADIAN
SPACE AGENCY KNOWING HOW MOTION
WORKS REALLY COMES INTO PLAY IN
EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
THAT WE DEAL WITH WHETHER IT BE
AN ASTRONAUT DOING A SPACE WALK,
BLASTING A ROCKET OFF INTO OUTER
SPACE OR HOW A ROVER MOVES ON
DIFFERENT PLANETS.
Zoey says WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
GOING FAST ON EARTH THAN IN
SPACE?
Kumi says TO MOVE FAST IN SPACE IS
ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT EASIER
BECAUSE ON EARTH WE HAVE 2
DIFFERENT FORCES.
THE FIRST IS GRAVITY.
Zoey says OH YEAH.
WHEN I JUMP UP I FALL DOWN.
Kumi says EXACTLY.
THE SECOND FORCE IS FRICTION.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU STUCK
YOUR HAND OUT OF A CAR WINDOW
THAT'S MOVING?
Zoey says IT'S LIKE GOING BACK AND FORTH.
Kumi says IT'S PUSHING YOU BECAUSE THERE'S
A RESISTANCE AND THAT IS AIR
FRICTION.
Zoey says OH.
KIND OF LIKE WHEN I THROW THIS
PIECE OF PAPER.
Kumi says THE AIR SLOWS
IT DOWN.
THE AIR DOES SLOW IT DOWN AND IT
FALLS TO THE GROUND BECAUSE OF
GRAVITY BUT IN SPACE THAT PIECE
OF PAPER WOULD CONTINUE MOVING
FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME
BECAUSE THERE'S NO AIR.
Zoey says WHAT IF I WANTED THINGS TO MOVE
FASTER HERE ON EARTH?
Kumi says WELL ZOEY,
FOLLOW ME.
They zoom to the table.
Kumi says HEY, WHAT TOOK
YOU SO LONG?
I HAVE SOMETHING
TO SHOW YOU.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A PICTURE
OF ME WHEN I WAS IN
GRADE 10 AT MY
SCIENCE FAIR AND I HAVE A DEVICE
HERE THAT I MADE THAT
DEMONSTRATES THE EFFECTS OF
FRICTION.
HERE ON THE TABLE
WE HAVE A REALLY
SIMILAR DEVICE.
BASICALLY, WE HAVE A BOX AND
THERE'S 2 HAIR DRYERS WITH HOLES
IN THE BOX SO THE AIR CAN GO
INTO THE BOX AND THEN I HAVE
THIS PIECE OF HARD PLASTIC AND
THE AIR COMES OUT OF THESE
HOLES.
I WANT YOU TO OBSERVE
HOW THIS CUP MOVES ON
THE SMOOTH SURFACE.
Zoey says OKAY.
Kumi says IT STOPS.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says LET'S OBSERVE WHAT HAPPENS TO
THE CUP IF WE TURN THE AIR ON.
Zoey says OKAY.
The cup keeps moving.
Kumi says SO WHAT DID
YOU OBSERVE?
Zoey says IT WAS LIKE THE CUP WAS
FLOATING.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT.
THE AIR MADE A THIN LAYER ON THE
SURFACE AND THE CUP WASN'T IN
CONTACT WITH IT SO THERE WAS NO
FRICTION.
IN MY SCIENCE FAIR
PROJECT I ALSO
WANTED TO OBSERVE
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FRICTION
WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS.
OKAY.
LET'S TAKE THIS STYROFOAM MAT.
HOW DO YOU THINK THE MOTIONS
GONNA BE?
Zoey says I FEEL LIKE THERE'S GONNA BE A
LOT OF FRICTION.
Kumi says LET'S SEE.
IT BARELY MOVED.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says THIS HAS A LOT MORE FRICTION
THAN THE SMOOTH SURFACE.
LET'S TRY WITH THE WOOD.
Zoey says BETTER BUT STILL STOPS.
Kumi says YEAH, LET'S TRY WITH
BRISTOL BOARD.
STILL HAS A LOT OF FRICTION.
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says IF WE HAVE NO FRICTION THIS
CUP CAN MOVE FASTER AND A LOT
EASIER
AND THAT LEADS US INTO THE FIRST
LAW OF MOTION.
Zoey says AN OBJECT AT REST STAYS AT REST
AND AN OBJECT IN MOTION STAYS IN
MOTION.
UNLESS ACTED UPON BY A FORCE.
Kumi says WE CAN DEMONSTRATE
THE SECOND
LAW OF MOTION
PLAYING A GAME OF AIR HOCKEY.
Zoey says I'M IN.
Kumi says LET'S DO IT.
Zoey says I SCORED.
Kumi says NICE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN
IF THIS PUCK WAS HEAVIER?
Zoey says IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T MOVE AS
FAST.
Kumi says WANNA TRY?
Zoey says YEAH.
Kumi says LET'S USE THIS AS A WEIGHT
ON TOP OF THE PUCK.
AND I'M GONNA USE THIS RULER SO
THAT I COULD PUSH BOTH PUCKS AT
THE SAME TIME WITH THE SAME
FORCE.
Zoey says OKAY.
Kumi says I SCORED.
Zoey says YEAH.
THE LIGHTER ONE WENT WAY
FARTHER.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE NEED TO DO
TO THIS ONE TO MAKE IT MOVE JUST
AS FAR?
Zoey says YOU NEED TO PUSH IT HARDER.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT ZOEY, WE
NEED MORE FORCE.
Zoey says LAW OF MOTION #2.
TO MOVE SOMETHING FASTER YOU
NEED TO PUSH HARDER.
Kumi says TO DEMONSTRATE THE THIRD LAW WE
HAVE THESE 2 IDENTICAL ROLLING
CHAIRS.
They push each other, roll back on the chairs and say PUSH.
Kumi says WHAT DID YOU NOTICE ABOUT
THE MOTION?
Zoey says WELL, WE BOTH WENT BACK BUT
I WENT FURTHER BECAUSE I'M
LIGHTER.
Kumi says THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE WERE THE
SAME WEIGHT?
Zoey says WE WOULD BOTH GO BACK THE SAME
DISTANCE.
Kumi says THAT'S EXACTLY HOW THE LAW
IS STATED.
FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN
EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION.
A GOOD TIP TO MAKE THINGS MOVE
FASTER IS TO KEEP THESE LAWS IN
MIND.
Zoey says THANKS FOR HELPING ME FIND STUFF
OUT KUMI.
Kumi says YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says BYE.
Kumi says BYE.
In animation, Zoey rubs a balloon on her head with the caption "The Experiment."
Zoey says HI FABIOLA, AARON AND
SHAKIB.
They all say HI ZOEY.
Fabiola is around with long wavy brown hair in a half ponytail and wears black trousers and a black and white T-shirt.
Shakib is in his forties, with short brown hair and a beard. He wears glasses, gray trousers and a blue shirt.
Aaron is around 12, with curly brown hair in a crest and wears a green and white T-shirt.
Zoey says WHAT'S YOUR SPEEDY, EXPERIMENT
TODAY?
Shakib says TODAY'S EXPERIMENT WE'RE GOING
TO USE SOME PLAYING CARDS, SOME
EMPTY WATER BOTTLES AND SOME
OBJECTS WE FOUND AROUND THE
HOUSE.
FABIOLA HAS SOME LOOSE CHANGE
THAT SHE FOUND.
AARON HAS SOME HEX NUTS AND I
HAVE A BATTERY.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS APPLY
A FORCE TO OUR PLAYING CARDS AND
THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR
EVERYDAY OBJECTS.
They cover the bottles with a card and place an object on top.
Fabiola flicks her card and the object goes in the bottle. She says YES.
Aaron flicks his card and the object goes in the bottle.
He says YEAH.
Shakib flicks his card and says HOORAY.
Zoey says HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?
Shakib says NOW OUR PLAYING CARDS ARE MUCH
LIGHTER THAN OUR EVERYDAY
OBJECTS SO WHEN WE APPLIED A
FORCE TO OUR PLAYING CARDS THEY
WENT FLYING AWAY BUT OUR BATTERY
IS MUCH HEAVIER.
WHEN OUR PLAYING CARD MOVED OUT
OF THE WAY THERE WAS AN EMPTY
HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE WATER
BOTTLE AND GRAVITY DID THE REST
FOR US.
Zoey says SO THE HEAVIER THE OBJECT THE
EASIER IT IS?
Shakib says THAT'S RIGHT.
Zoey says MY TRICK WAS
HARDER THAN
YOURS BECAUSE
MY HEX NUT IS LIGHTER
THAN YOUR BATTERY.
Fabiola says AND MY TRICK WAS HARDER THAN
BOTH OF YOURS BECAUSE MY DIMES
ARE LIGHTER THAN YOUR HEX NUT
AND YOUR BATTERY.
Shakib says ABSOLUTELY CORRECT BUT I DO HAVE
ANOTHER EXPERIMENT TO SHARE WITH
YOU ZOEY.
Zoey says AWESOME.
Fabiola says NOW WE'RE GONNA
DO THE TABLE
CLOTH TRICK.
Shakib says WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS TAKE
SOME WATER AND POUR IT INTO MY
CUPS HERE.
1, 2, AND 3.
NEXT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS
BUILD A LITTLE BIT OF A TOWER.
SO I'VE GOT A BOWL, A CUP, A
PLATE, A BOWL, A CUP AND THEN
AGAIN A PLATE, A BOWL, AND A
CUP.
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS PULL ON
THE TABLECLOTH AND HOPEFULLY THE
WHOLE TOWER WILL STAY STANDING
AND THE TABLECLOTH WILL GET
PULLED FROM UNDERNEATH.
ARE YOU READY ZOEY?
Zoey says YES.
Shakib says HERE WE GO.
3, 2, 1.
TA-DA.
Zoey says WOW.
WHAT ABOUT YOU AARON?
Aaron does the trick.
Zoey says AWESOME.
FABIOLA, YOU TRY.
Fabiola drops the cups, plates and bowls.
Zoey says OH NO.
YOU WEREN'T FAST ENOUGH.
SPEED MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
THANKS GUYS.
They all say
BYE ZOEY.
Zoey says THAT MAKES ME THINK OF SOMETHING
MY FRIEND WAS WONDERING.
A girl named Maya says WHAT'S THE FASTEST OBJECT IN
SPORTS?
Zoey says IS IT A HOCKEY PUCK?
A SOCCER BALL?
A TENNIS BALL?
A BASEBALL?
IT'S NONE OF THESE.
I FOUND OUT IT'S A BADMINTON
BIRDIE.
An animated Badminton birdie says HEY, HEY.
Zoey says THE RECORD IS 493
KILOMETRES AN HOUR.
Birdie flies past the ball and says WEEEEEE...
Zoey says THAT'S ALMOST 4 TIMES
FASTER THAN THE FASTEST
BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL.
An animated ball says AWWW.
Zoey says BADMINTON BIRDIES MAY BE
THE FASTEST SPORTS OBJECT BUT
BADMINTON ISN'T ACTUALLY THE
FASTED SPORT.
Two boys play ping pong in the attic.
Zoey plays the ukulele and sings I WANNA SEE FAST AND THEY'RE
GONNA SHOW ME TABLE TENNIS
EXPERTS WENBIN AND TOMMY
Zoey says HI WENBIN.
Wenbin is around 15, with short black hair and wears black shorts and a black, blue and white T-shirt.
He says HELLO.
Zoey says HI TOMMY.
Tommy is around 15, with short black hair and wears black shorts and a blue and orange T-shirt.
He says HI.
Zoey says YOU GUYS MOVE CRAZY FAST.
Wenbin says THANKS ZOEY.
ALTHOUGH BADMINTON BIRDIES CAN
GATHER THE MOST SPEED TABLE
TENNIS IS ACTUALLY THE SPORT
WHERE THE ATHLETES REQUIRE THE
FASTEST REACTION TIMES.
Zoey says REACTION TIME IS THE TIME
BETWEEN WHEN A PERSON NOTICES
SOMETHING AND REACTS.
An animated caveman dodges a rolling stone and blows a raspberry at it.
Zoey says OR NOT.
The caveman gets hit by several stones and says OH.
Wenbin says BECAUSE OF THE BALL SPEED VS THE
TABLE LENGTH TABLE TENNIS
PLAYERS NEED TO REACT REALLY
FAST AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE BALL
COMES TOO FAST YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
TO REACT BEFORE YOUR OPPONENT
HITS THE BALL IN ORDER TO REACT
TO YOUR OPPONENTS BALL.
Zoey says WHAT?
BEFORE HE HITS THE BALL?
Wenbin says IN ORDER TO DO THAT YOU NEED TO
LOOK AT YOUR OPPONENTS
POSITIONING, HIS BODY LANGUAGE,
HOW HIS SHOULDERS ARE PLACED AND
HOW HE PREPARES FOR THE BALL.
Zoey says WOW.
YOU HIT THAT BALL REALLY HARD
AND IT STILL HIT THE TABLE.
HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
Wenbin says IN ORDER TO HIT THE BALL REALLY
HARD AND STILL MAKE IT LAND ON
THE TABLE YOU NEED TO PUT SPIN
ON THE BALL.
IN THIS CASE YOU NEED TO PUT TOP
SPIN.
WHEN THE BALL GOES IN THAT
DIRECTION THERE'S AIR RESISTANCE
COUNTERING THE BALL IN THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
WHEN THE BALL SPINS LIKE THIS
THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED THE
MAGNUS EFFECT.
WHEN THE TOP OF THE BALL HITS
THAT AIR RESISTANCE THAT CREATES
PRESSURE ON TOP OF THE BALL AND
LESS PRESSURE ON THE BOTTOM.
THAT MAKES THE BALL DROP SO YOU
CAN HIT HARD AND STILL MAKE THE
BALL DROP.
Zoey says OH YEAH.
THE BALL IS DROPPING WAY SOONER
BECAUSE OF HOW YOU HIT IT.
Wenbin says WE CAN ALSO PUT SIDE SPIN SO THE
BALL CAN SPIN IN THIS DIRECTION,
IN THE OTHER DIRECTION OR EVEN
UNDER SPIN WHICH MAKES THE BALL
SPIN IN THIS DIRECTION.
Zoey says COOL.
CAN YOU SHOW ME?
A slow motion clip shows how the ball turns.
Zoey says DID YOU SEE HOW THAT BALL
TURNED?
WOW.
THEY'RE REALLY FAST.
I WONDER HOW FAST MY FRIENDS
REACTION TIMES ARE?
IT'S TIME FOR... .
In animation, Zoey flexes his arm, and then picks up the whole Earth and spins it.
A caption reads "My great challenge."
Zoey says TODAY'S CHALLENGERS ARE MAXIME
AND KENNY.
Maxime is around 13, with short brown hair and wears a black shorts and a burgundy and white T-shirt.
Kenny is around 12, with short black hair and wears glasses, black shorts and a burgundy and white T-shirt.
Wenbin says THE CHALLENGE FOR YOU IS TO SEE
WHO CAN HIT THE MOST BALLS
AGAINST TOMMY.
Zoey says MAXIME YOU'LL GO FIRST.
READY AND GO.
CHALLENGERS GET 2 ROUNDS.
MAXIME IS VOLLEYING LIKE A PRO.
15 BALLS!
HE'S OFF TO A GOOD START.
KENNY YOU'RE UP AND GO.
WOW.
KENNY'S GOING REALLY FAST.
HE'LL BEAT MAXIME'S SCORE IF HE
KEEPS THIS UP.
OH NO.
14 BALLS.
1 MORE WOULD HAVE TIED IT UP.
OKAY MAXIME YOU'RE UP AGAIN AND
GO.
MAXIME IS AHEAD BY 1.
CAN HE HOLD ONTO HIS LEAD?
BOTH CHALLENGERS ARE GIVING
TOMMY A RUN FOR HIS MONEY.
13, 14, 15.
HE'S DOING BETTER IN ROUND 2.
OH NO.
18 AND HE'S DONE.
OKAY KENNY AND GO.
KENNY NEEDS TO KEEP THAT BALL
ALIVE IF HE WANTS TO CATCH UP.
18, 19.
WOW.
KENNY TAKES THE LEAD.
HOW MANY MORE CAN HE HIT?
HE'S LIKE A TABLE TENNIS
MACHINE.
38 BALLS IN ROUND 2.
AWESOME.
THE RESULTS ARE IN.
Tommy says 33 FOR MAXIME...
Wenbin says AND 53 FOR KENNY.
Zoey says KENNY YOU'RE THE WINNER, GOOD
JOB.
Kenny says YAY.
(music plays)
In animation, Zoey waves from the front door of the house, which rises on robot legs and walks away.
A caption reads "Do try this at home."
Zoey says HOW ABOUT CHECKING OUT YOUR OWN
REACTION TIME.
MY FRIENDS HAVE A SIMPLE WAY TO
DO THAT.
HI KENYA AND WILLIAM.
They say HI ZOEY.
Kenya is around 12, with braided curly brown hair and wears jeans and a printed gray T-shirt with pink details.
William is around 11, with short light brown hair and wears black sweatpants and a blue T-shirt.
Zoey says SHOW US YOUR TRICK.
IT'S CALLED THE RULER DROP.
Kenya drops a ruler and William catches it with two fingers.
Zoey says WHEN YOU CATCH IT LOOK AT THE
NUMBER ON THE RULER.
William says 10.
Zoey says THE LOWER THE NUMBER THE
FASTER YOUR REACTION TIME.
Kenya says 17.
William says 8.
Kenya says 29.
Zoey says AND WHO'S GOT THE FASTEST
REACTION TIME?
William says ME.
Zoey says THANKS GUYS.
They say BYE ZOEY.
Zoey says NEXT QUESTION.
IT'S FROM LAURA.
A girl with brown hair in a ponytail says IS IT POSSIBLE TO FALL OUT OF
THE ROLLER COASTER IF IT'S TOO
FAST?
Zoey says GREAT QUESTION LAURA.
I ASKED MY
FRIEND SHAKIB
TO ANSWER THAT.
TAKE IT AWAY.
Shakib says I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS AND
LOOP-DE-LOOPS BUT HOW DO THOSE
CARS STICK TO THE RAILS?
WE'RE GOING TO USE A LARGE
YELLOW BUCKET.
THANK YOU ZOEY AND THEN A PAIL
OF PING PONG BALLS.
AS I SPIN IT AROUND
I'M CHANGING
THE ACCELERATION
AND CREATING
SOMETHING CALLED
CENTRIPETAL FORCE.
THAT CENTRIPETAL
FORCE STICKS MY
PING PONG BALLS
TO MY BIG
YELLOW BUCKET.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GIVE IT A
TRY ZOEY?
Zoey says SURE.
Shakib says GO AHEAD.
WOW THAT'S
GREAT.
NOW AS ZOEY SPINS
THAT BUCKET FASTER
AND FASTER THERE'S
MORE FORCE CREATED
AND THE BALLS DON'T
RATTLE AROUND ANYMORE
BUT IF ZOEY SLOWS
DOWN ANY... .
OH NO, WE MADE A BIG MESS.
Zoey says SO GOING FASTER ON A ROLLER
COASTER KEEPS YOU SAFER?
Shakib says ABSOLUTELY THE FASTER YOU
GO THE SAFER YOU ARE.
Zoey says I REALLY DO LOVE SUPER FAST
ROLLER COASTERS.
THANKS SHAKIB.
Shakib says YOU'RE WELCOME.
Zoey says I ASKED MY FRIENDS WHY THEY LIKE
IT.
A caption on a screen behind her says "Ask a friend."
A girl with reddish blond hair says IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE GOING SO
FAST THAT YOU CAN'T FEEL
YOURSELF.
A blond girl says IT'S LIKE I'M LIFTING OFF THE
SEAT.
A girl in a purple T-shirt says IT FEELS LIKE I'M SKY DIVING.
AHHH.
A boy with wavy light brown hair says I LIKE THE WIND IN MY FACE.
AHHH.
A girl with light brown hair in a half ponytail says IT LIKE TICKLES YOUR STOMACH.
AHHH.
A blond boy says I KIND OF FEEL LIKE I'M FREE.
IT FEELS GOOD.
A boy in a pink T-shirt says IT'S THE BEST THING EVER I LOVE
BEING SCARED AND I GET SCARED A
LOT.
A girl in a white T-shirt says THE SPEED MAKES IT FUN.
AHHH.
Zoey says THAT KIND OF SPEED WOULD HAVE
SCARED PEOPLE NOT SO LONG AGO.
In animation, two pirates sail to the end of the Earth and fall down.
Pirates say ARGH! ARGH! ARGH!
(GASP) WOAH!
A caption reads "The flat Earth corner."
In old clothing, Zoey rides an old bicycle and says TACHOPHOBIA IS A FEAR OF SPEED
AND GOING FAST AND LET ME TELL
YOU I'VE GOT IT BAD.
I'M ZIPPING ALONG ON THIS NEW
INVENTION CALLED A BICYCLE.
CRAZY.
THEY SAY IF I GO TOO FAST I'LL
GET BICYCLE FACE.
LIKE THIS.
She makes a funny face.
On a train, Zoey says UH-OH.
NOW I'M ON A TRAIN MOVING EVEN
FASTER.
OUR BODIES WEREN'T MADE TO
TRAVEL AT INCREDIBLE SPEEDS OF
50 KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
OUR BODIES WILL MELT.
AH.
In a car, Zoey says OH DEAR.
NOW I'M IN A CAR.
THIS IS CRAZY.
I'M A GIRL.
GIRLS CAN'T DRIVE THIS FAST.
WE'LL FAINT.
AH.
Back in the attic, Zoey says WHAT?
GIRLS NOT ALLOWED TO GO FAST?
THAT'S NUTTY.
PEOPLE IN THE PAST HAD SOME
STRANGE IDEAS ABOUT SPEED AND IT
SCARED THEM BUT I LOVE TO GO
FAST AND THE HUMAN BODY CAN DEAL
WITH VERY HIGH SPEED.
ON THE GROUND, ONE DRIVER ZOOMED
AT 1223 KILOMETRES PER HOUR IN
THE JET PROPELLED CAR THRUSTSSC.
IN THE AIR, PILOTS HAVE FLOWN
7275 KILOMETRES PER HOUR.
IN SPACE, ASTRONAUTS HAVE FLOWN
40,000 KILOMETRES AN HOUR SO
PEOPLE IN THE PASSED HAD NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT BUT ALL THIS
SPEED TALK MAKES ME WANT TO MOVE
FASTER AND FASTER.
Zoey runs on a track and sings a song that says I LOVE TO RUN FAST
I LOVE TO MOVE QUICK
I LOVE TO ZOOM AND ZIP
MY MOVES ARE SO SLICK WHEN I
HIT THE TRACK
I DON'T LOOK BACK BECAUSE I
LOVE TO RUN
FAST
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
I LOVE TO MAKE TRACKS
I LOVE TO VAMOOSE
I AM BOOKING AND I'M COOKING
AND I'M JETTING LOOSE
WHEN I HIT THE TRACK I DON'T
LOOK BACK BECAUSE I LOVE TO
RUN
FAST
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
The song ends.
Zoey runs on a track and says LOOK AT ME GO.
I'VE NEVER RUN SO FAST.
WOW.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS RACING
WITH CHAMPION SPRINTERS TATIANA
AHOLOU AND DEONDRA GREEN.
TATIANA AND DEONDRA ARE AMAZING
ATHLETES.
THEY COMPETED IN THE
COMMONWEALTH YOUTH GAMES AND
BROUGHT HOME MEDALS.
THEY WORK SUPER HARD AT GOING
SUPER FAST.
WHAT AN HONOUR
IT IS TO MEET
YOU.
Deondra is in her twenties, with long braided brown hair and wears a tracksuit.
Tatiana is in her twenties, with curly brown hair in a top knot and wears a tracksuit.
Deondra says NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.
Tatiana says NICE TO MEET
YOU ZOEY.
Zoey says MY FRIEND HAS A QUESTION.
Jayden says HOW CAN A HUMAN RUN FASTER?
Tatiana says WE ASK OURSELVES
THAT ALL THE
TIME.
Deondra says AND I KNOW
SOMEONE WHO CAN
HELP US WITH THAT.
THIS IS MY COACH RASHEED DIN.
Rasheed is in his thirties, with short curly brown hair and wears jeans and a tracksuit jacket.
He says HEY ZOEY.
I HEARD YOU REALLY WANT TO RUN
FASTER.
Zoey says I DO.
Rasheed says I CAN HELP YOU.
THE FIRST THING TO DO IS TO TIME
YOU SO WE CAN TELL THAT YOU'RE
IMPROVING.
READY TO RACE?
Zoey says I WAS BORN READY.
Rasheed says ON YOUR MARKS, SET, GO.
ZOey starts running.
A caption on the screen reads "10.2 seconds. 50 meter race."
Rasheed says GREAT JOB.
Zoey says THANKS.
Rasheed says ALRIGHT SO LET'S
SEE IF WE CAN
IMPROVE THIS BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY
WE'RE GONNA CHANGE
YOUR CLOTHING.
Zoey says OKAY.
Now Zoey wears leggings and a T-shirt.
Zoey says CHECK ME OUT
I LOOK SO FAST.
Rasheed says THOSE FORM FITTING CLOTHES WILL
DECREASE WIND RESISTANCE.
THAT'S THE FRICTION FROM THE AIR
THAT WAS SLOWING YOU DOWN
BEFORE.
Zoey says OH I GET IT.
MY SLEEK NEW CLOTHES DECREASE
FRICTION JUST LIKE THE PLEXI
GLASS IN KUMI'S AIR TABLE.
WHAT ABOUT MY SHOES?
MY FRIEND ADRIANA WAS WONDERING.
Adriana says WHY DO SHOES MAKE YOU RUN
FASTER?
Rasheed says THE RIGHT SHOES CAN MAKE YOU RUN
FASTER BUT NOT THOSE.
He gives her running shoes and says TRY THESE.
THESE SHOES HELP YOU STICK TO
THE TRACK AND IT ALLOWS YOU TO
PUSH OFF THE TRACK WITHOUT
SLIPPING.
Animated Zoey says WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S FRICTION.
MY SLICK CLOTHES DECREASE
FRICTION AND WIND RESISTANCE BUT
MY SHOES ACTUALLY INCREASE
FRICTION WITH THE GROUND PUSHING
ME FORWARD.
Rasheed says THAT IS CORRECT.
Zoey says OKAY.
I'M ALL
SUITED UP.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Rasheed says FIRST THING IS YOUR BODY
POSTURE.
STAND UP STRAIGHT.
HIPS IN FRONT.
ARMS, 90 DEGREES BENT.
PULL ONE ARM BACK WHILE THE
OTHER ONE COMES RIGHT IN FRONT
OF YOU.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT THIS
HAND THAT'S IN FRONT IS TO YOUR
MOUTH LEVEL.
REMEMBER KEEP YOUR ARMS CLOSE TO
YOUR BODY.
STAY TALL AT ALL TIMES.
AND YOUR KNEES.
VERY IMPORTANT IS TO RAISE YOUR
KNEE UP HIGH AND PULL YOUR TOES
UP AND DOWN.
PUSH BACK AND THEN FORWARD.
PUSH BACK.
GOOD.
ARE YOU READY TO RACE?
Zoey says I SURE AM.
Rasheed says IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT WINNING
BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IN
ACHIEVING YOUR PERSONAL BEST
WITH SOME STIFF COMPETITION.
Zoey says ANOTHER RACE WITH TATIANA
AND DEONDRA?
THIS IS THE BEST RACE DAY EVER.
Rasheed says SET.
GO.
They race.
Tatiana says GOOD JOB ZOEY.
Zoey says THANKS.
Deondra says GOOD JOB
ZOEY.
Rasheed says GUYS, REALLY
WELL DONE.
ZOEY, YOU RAN 1.6 SECONDS
FASTER.
A caption on the screen reads "8.6 seconds. 50 meter race."
Rasheed says A NEW PERSONAL BEST.
Zoey says WOOHOO.
THANKS.
She speeds back to the attic and says I'VE BEEN FAST AND SPEEDY AND
RACED MY WAY BACK TO ANSWER
TODAY'S BIG QUESTION.
Faith says HOW DO YOU MAKE THINGS GO
FASTER?
Zoey plays the keyboards and says THE BIG ANSWER IS...
INCREASE THE FORCE AND ADJUST
FRICTION.
IN KUMI'S EXPERIMENT, WE SAW
THAT LESS FRICTION MADE THE CUP
MOVE FASTER.
ON THE RACETRACK, LESS FRICTION
FROM MY CLOTHES BUT MORE
FRICTION FROM MY SHOES HELPED ME
GO FASTER.
ALSO, INCREASING THE FORCE ON
SOMETHING MAKES IT GO FASTER AND
IF YOU HAVE A QUICK REACTION
TIME YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO A
FAST VICTORY.
She zooms around the attic, looks at the stopwatch and says OH YEAH.
NEW PERSONAL BEST.
I'M OUT OF HERE.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME FOR MORE
FINDING STUFF OUT.
(music plays)
Captions appear that read "Thanks to everyone who helped me out, Zoey Siewert."
The end credits roll as the "I love to run" song plays again.

The song goes I LOVE TO RUN FAST
I LOVE TO MOVE QUICK
I LOVE TO ZOOM AND ZIP
MY MOVES ARE SO SLICK WHEN I
HIT THE TRACK
I DON'T LOOK BACK BECAUSE I
LOVE TO RUN
FAST
WOOHOO
YIPPEE
I LOVE TO MAKE TRACKS
I LOVE TO VAMOOSE
I AM BOOKING AND I'M COOKING
AND I'M JETTING LOOSE
WHEN I HIT THE TRACK I DON'T
LOOK BACK BECAUSE I LOVE TO
RUN FAST.
