PHYS 211: Physics 1

Explore the world of high-performance sports cars and learn how to calculate their average acceleration when accelerating and coming to a stop.

Explore the intriguing dynamics of a spring-mass system, set in motion by a hammer's impact. Learn about period, frequency, amplitude, acceleration, position over time, and the total energy of this unique 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

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.

Dive into the world of buoyancy and density in this video! We explore how an object's weight changes when immersed in water and oil. Join us to calculate the density of the object and the oil, unraveling the principles of fluid dynamics and buoyant forces.

Delve into the physics of high-speed tracks and calculate the radius where drivers experience a 5.5g acceleration, exploring the multiple options and their implications.
