PHYS 250: PHYS 250

Learn how to convert between radians and degrees for various angle measurements, expanding your understanding of angular units.

Unlock the secrets of calculating electric charge using Coulomb's Law and discover the fascinating world of electrostatic forces. Learn how to determine the charge on two spheres, spaced 20.0 cm apart, and understand the role of elementary particles in this physics tutorial.

Join us in this enlightening video as we explore the fascinating world of projectiles and their optimal launch angles. We dive into the physics behind how a fixed initial speed affects the range of a projectile and why, for most angles, there are two choices that yield the same range. Delve into factors that affect an archer's ability to hit a target, including wind, and learn why a smaller angle, closer to the horizontal, is often preferable. Discover when and why a larger angle may be necessar

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
