Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Discover the math behind car spring oscillations when driving over bumps. Understand how a car's weight and driver affect the spring constant and resulting frequency. Grasp the interplay of forces and how they dictate harmonic motion.
Car Deceleration: Angular Acceleration, Revolutions, Time, Distance, a
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Explore the physics of a car's quick deceleration, including angular acceleration, revolutions, time, distance, initial velocity, and the realism of the scenario.
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.
Adding Water to a Glass: Temperature Change Calculation

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!
