PHYSICS 5B: 5B. Physics for Life Sciences Majors: Thermodynamics, Fluids, Waves, Light, and Optics

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.

Explore the world of thermal insulation and heat loss in this video. We compare single-pane and double-pane windows, calculating the heat loss ratio. Delve into the fascinating science of heat transfer and insulation factors. Join us to uncover the secrets behind energy-efficient windows.

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.

Join us on the baseball field as we calculate the physics of a ground ball throw to second base. In this video, we determine the distance from the shortstop to the second baseman and the vertical drop of the ball. Explore the principles of projectile motion in sports.

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.

Explore the fundamental principles of this law, unraveling its implications, and clarifying common misconceptions related to mass preservation in chemical reactions.
