ASTRON 0087: Basics of Space Flight

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

Discover the dynamics of a commercial jet takeoff in this video! We explore tire rotation speed, centripetal acceleration, and a bacterium's grip on the rim. Dive into physics and microscopic forces, all while considering weight ratios.

Explore Earth's dimensions in this video! We calculate its circumference, surface area, and volume. Join us to understand the scope of our planet, both in its physical size and mathematical concepts.

Join us as we unravel the incredible journey of a shearwater seabird in an astonishing experiment. This remarkable bird was taken from its nest, flown 5150 kilometers away, and then successfully found its way back home 13.5 days later. We explore the concept of average velocity for both the return flight and the entire episode, shedding light on the bird's navigation prowess. Discover the fascinating world of animal navigation and physics in this captivating video.

Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.

Explore the fascinating Doppler Effect and how it alters wave frequencies when a source or observer is in motion. Dive into the physics of frequency shift with formulas and practical examples, showcasing the significant impact of source velocity on observable frequencies.
