Analyze the physics of a falling squirrel, calculating its velocity upon hitting the ground and the deceleration due to limb bending.
Why Does Hot Concrete Feel Hotter than a Rug in the Summer?
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Uncover the science behind a common sensation - why hot concrete feels hotter than a rug at the same temperature on a scorching summer day. We'll explore the factors at play in this intriguing phenomenon and provide a clear understanding of the science behind it.
Determining Kinetic Friction with a Spring-Loaded Block
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Understand how to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction using a wooden block and a spring. Employing the law of conservation of energy, we use the spring's compression and stretch measurements. Through energy equations and Newton's second law, we deduce that ? equals 0.4.
