PHYS 750: General Physics 1

Join us to unravel the mystery of oscillations! In this video, we'll determine the period of a mass oscillating with a 0.2 m displacement and 1.2 m/s maximum speed. Explore the physics behind periodic motion and discover the key to calculating its period. Dive into the world of harmonic motion with us!

Explore the concept of capacitance in a spherical capacitor and learn how to calculate it. Discover how to find the plate area for a parallel-plate capacitor with the same capacitance and separation.

Join us in a lunar leap! We estimate how gravity affects jumping distance on the Moon compared to Earth, with the same takeoff speed and angle. Explore the moon's reduced gravity and its impact on human capabilities.

Explore how a mass spectrometer works by analyzing an ion's path through the device. Understand the relationship between electric and magnetic fields in determining the ion's trajectory. Learn to compute the radius of an ion's path within the mass spectrometer.

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.

Learn how to calculate total displacement when traveling west and south at different speeds and durations. Explore the direction and magnitude of your journey in this informative video.
