PHY 108: Physics

Dive into the physics of cliff jumping as we analyze the splashdown speeds of two adventurous youngsters. Explore the factors that determine their speeds and choose the best explanation among the options provided.

Analyze the physics of a falling squirrel, calculating its velocity upon hitting the ground and the deceleration due to limb bending.

Uncover the secrets of watch crystals in this video! We convert the frequency of a quartz crystal used in electric watches into its period. Join us to explore the principles of timekeeping and crystal oscillations.

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!

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.
