PHYS 221: Physics 2

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.

Discover the impact of a 0.09-N thrust engine on a 480 kg spacecraft's speed during 1 week of maximum power operation. Uncover the assumptions involved in this space physics scenario.

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

Explore the physics behind calculating the velocity of pebbles thrown by Romeo to hit Juliet's window with only a horizontal component.

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

Dive into the thrilling world of physics and surfing as we explore the angle of inclination of a wave's face. Discover how a surfer accelerates down a wave with an acceleration of 3.25 m/s² while ignoring friction. Join us for an engaging and educational explanation of this exciting phenomenon.
