Lunar Lander Descent: Initial and Final Velocities
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Join us on an exciting lunar adventure as we explore the descent of a lunar lander towards the moon's surface. We'll unravel the physics behind its journey using the equation y(t) = b - ct + dt^2, and answer questions about the lander's initial and final velocities. Get ready to explore the dynamics of space exploration and lunar landings in this informative video!
Electric Force Between Spheres Doubled Separation
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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.
Newton's Third Law and Force Pairs: System of Interest Impact
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Delve into Newton's third law of motion and explore how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences whether force pairs cancel each other out.
Calculating k, Amplitude & Frequency for Fisherman's Scale
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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
