Learn how to compute the displacement of a ball rolling off a table using calculus. Through the integration of velocity over a specific time interval, determine the ball's position. Uncover the mathematics behind real-world motion scenarios.

Understand how to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction using a wooden block and a spring. Employing the law of conservation of energy, we use the spring's compression and stretch measurements. Through energy equations and Newton's second law, we deduce that ? equals 0.4.

Learn how to convert between radians and degrees for various angle measurements, expanding your understanding of angular units.

Discover how to optimize the launch tube acceleration to achieve the maximum height and earn the most points in your laboratory experiment.

Discover the significance of models in the fascinating realms of relativity and quantum mechanics, where conditions defy our everyday experience. Explore the concept of a model and its role in understanding these complex theories.

In this video we tackle the real-world physics problem of calculating the spring constant for a fisherman's scale along with the amplitude and frequency of its vibrations when a fish is added. We use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant and then apply oscillation formulas to determine the amplitude and frequency of the fish's vibrations
