PHYS 2211: Principles of Physics I

Explore the fascinating world of friction in motion! In this video, we delve into the concept of frictional forces as we examine a crate being pushed across a factory floor. We'll calculate the magnitude and direction of the frictional force and uncover its role in maintaining constant velocity. Discover the science behind everyday motion.

Discover the gravitational forces at play in a triangle of masses in this video. We calculate the net force on each mass and explore how changing the side length impacts these forces. Join us for a gravitational journey through physics.

Join us in a lunar leap! We estimate how gravity affects jumping distance on the Moon compared to Earth, with the same takeoff speed and angle. Explore the moon's reduced gravity and its impact on human capabilities.

Explore the intriguing interplay of Earth's elliptical orbit, the changing seasons, and the gravitational forces it exerts on the Sun. We'll provide insights into the ratio of these forces and challenge you to consider multiple perspectives on this celestial phenomenon.

Discover the perfect golf shot! We calculate the height of the tallest tree a golf ball must clear to achieve the longest possible hole-in-one. Explore the physics and precision of golf's ultimate achievement.

Unlock the secrets of battery performance in this video! We calculate the terminal voltage for a battery with internal resistance, connected in series with resistors of different values. Explore the effects of resistance on voltage in electrical circuits.
