Motorcycle vs. Bicycle Acceleration Comparison
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Explore the fascinating comparison between the acceleration of a motorcycle going from 80 km/h to 90 km/h and a bicycle accelerating from rest to 10 km/h in the same time frame.
Calculating Jet Engine Thrust for Cruising Speed
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Dive into the world of aviation as we calculate the thrust required for a medium-sized jet to maintain a cruising speed of 230 m/s at a specific altitude. Explore the impact of air density and drag coefficients on aircraft performance.
Calculating Object and Oil Density through Buoyancy
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Dive into the world of buoyancy and density in this video! We explore how an object's weight changes when immersed in water and oil. Join us to calculate the density of the object and the oil, unraveling the principles of fluid dynamics and buoyant forces.
Calculating Displacement: West and South Travel
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Learn how to calculate total displacement when traveling west and south at different speeds and durations. Explore the direction and magnitude of your journey in this informative video.
Surfer Acceleration: Wave Inclination Angle
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Dive into the thrilling world of physics and surfing as we explore the angle of inclination of a wave's face. Discover how a surfer accelerates down a wave with an acceleration of 3.25 m/s² while ignoring friction. Join us for an engaging and educational explanation of this exciting phenomenon.
Time and Distance: Comparing 85 km/h and 115 km/h Cars
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
In this video, we explore the concept of time and distance as we compare two cars traveling at different speeds along a straight highway. We'll calculate when the faster car arrives at a destination 16 km away and find out how far they must travel for it to arrive 15 minutes before the slower car. Join us for an engaging journey through the world of physics and velocity!
