PHY 105: Intro Phys Ed & Skill Development

Explore the intriguing physics of a sandal dropped from a moving ship and learn how to calculate its velocity relative to the ship and a stationary observer on shore.

In this enlightening video, we unravel the mysteries of electric charges and forces. Discover the fascinating concept of how the separation between two identical tiny spheres, each carrying the same electric charge, influences the force they exert on each other. Will the force double, become one-quarter as large, or remain unchanged? Join us to explore the intriguing world of electrostatics and the principles that govern electric interactions.

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

Discover the math behind car spring oscillations when driving over bumps. Understand how a car's weight and driver affect the spring constant and resulting frequency. Grasp the interplay of forces and how they dictate harmonic motion.

Explore the effects of altitude change on a pendulum clock's speed when moved from the Mississippi Delta to the Rocky Mountains. Learn why it runs faster or slower and how to make adjustments. Discover the assumptions involved in this fascinating timekeeping scenario.

Explore the fascinating optical phenomena involving a cat, a converging lens, and the creation of virtual and real images.
