PHY 202: General Physics Lab

Dive into the world of projectile motion as we calculate the horizontal and vertical distances a launched projectile covers. Explore the impact of angle and speed on the trajectory, all explained in this engaging video.

Discover the physics behind the angle formed by loosely hanging hand straps on a streetcar negotiating a curved turn.

Join us in this enlightening video as we explore the fascinating world of projectiles and their optimal launch angles. We dive into the physics behind how a fixed initial speed affects the range of a projectile and why, for most angles, there are two choices that yield the same range. Delve into factors that affect an archer's ability to hit a target, including wind, and learn why a smaller angle, closer to the horizontal, is often preferable. Discover when and why a larger angle may be necessar

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.

Unlock the world of electrical circuits and light intensity! In this video, we explore a circuit with three lights connected in parallel, featuring an open switch. Discover what happens to the intensity of each light when the switch is closed. Join us for a journey through electrical concepts and enlightening explanations.

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