PHYS 254: Applied Modern Physics

Explore the nuances of Newton's third law and learn how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences force pair cancellation.

Exploring the behavior of oil and water in a U-shaped tube when a barrier is removed. Understand the impact of differing densities on fluid heights. Witness equilibrium scenarios effects of equal densities and the displacement dynamics of lighter liquids.

oin us as we delve into the intriguing world of subatomic particles! In this video, we'll decipher the composition of a system containing 1525 electrons and protons with a net charge of -5.456 x 10^-17 C. Discover the precise number of electrons and calculate the total mass of this dynamic system. Unlock the secrets of particle physics with us!

Join us in exploring the concept of significant figures in numerical values. Learn to identify and count significant figures in various numbers, from whole numbers to decimals. Understand the precision and accuracy of your measurements through this engaging video.

Explore Earth's dimensions in this video! We calculate its circumference, surface area, and volume. Join us to understand the scope of our planet, both in its physical size and mathematical concepts.

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!
