PHYS 1301: Physics for Scientists and Engineers I

Discover the physics behind the angle formed by loosely hanging hand straps on a streetcar negotiating a curved turn.

In this educational video, we dive into the concept of volume and its units. We explore the correct units for measuring volume and discuss the common misconception that a cylinder's volume is given by ?r^3h. Join us for a comprehensive explanation of the fundamentals of volume measurement and understand why the given formula doesn't hold.

Watch as we explore the fascinating world of thermal expansion in this video. We start with a glass filled to the brim with 350.0 mL of water at a scorching 100.0°C, and then witness the magic unfold as the temperature decreases to a cool 20.0°C. But the real question is, how much more water can we add to the glass? Join us to find out!

Discover the physics behind violin string tension and the angle-dependent force required when pushing it against the neck. Explore how the angle affects the force needed.

Join us in exploring the concept of significant figures in numerical values. Learn to identify and count significant figures in various numbers, from whole numbers to decimals. Understand the precision and accuracy of your measurements through this engaging video.
