PHYS 108: Gen Physics II

Explore the nuances of Newton's third law and learn how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences force pair cancellation.

Join us for a journey with electrons in this video! We explore the motion of an electron through a resistive strip powered by a 12V battery. Discover the electron's direction, work done by the electric field, and the transfer of energy to thermal energy in the strip.

Explore the fascinating science of air temperature change in this video! We calculate how the volume of inhaled air increases as it warms from 0.0°C to body temperature. Discover the principles of thermal expansion in the human body.

Analyze the physics of a falling squirrel, calculating its velocity upon hitting the ground and the deceleration due to limb bending.

Illuminate the science of flashlight power! In this video, we explore how a 6V bulb is powered by a 3V battery with an internal resistance. We calculate the power dissipation of the bulb and the terminal voltage of the battery, unraveling the physics of electrical circuits.

Explore the intriguing dynamics of a spring-mass system, set in motion by a hammer's impact. Learn about period, frequency, amplitude, acceleration, position over time, and the total energy of this unique scenario.
