U-Tube Liquid Heights: Exploring Oil & Water Density Dynamics
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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.
Amusement Park Divers: Speed and Physics Analysis
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Step into the thrilling world of amusement park divers as we explore the physics behind their jaw-dropping stunts. Diving from a platform 21.3 meters (70 feet) above a pool of water, we investigate the announcer's claim that divers enter the water at a speed of 56 miles per hour (25 meters per second). We'll also uncover the possibility of divers leaping directly upward to achieve a specific water entry speed and examine the physical feasibility of such a feat. Join us for an educational journey
Tennis Ball Momentum and Change in Direction

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.
Identifying Base Quantities in the SI System
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Uncover the fundamental base quantities of the SI system and test your knowledge with a quiz to identify which one is not considered a base quantity. Is it mass, length, energy, time, or are they all base quantities? Join us to find out!
Electromagnetic vs. Gravitational Forces: A Comparative Analysis
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Explore the relative strengths of two fundamental forces, the electromagnetic force and the gravitational force, in this enlightening physics tutorial. Learn about Coulomb's law and Newton's law of gravitation, and uncover the significant difference in their constants that makes the electromagnetic force much more powerful than gravity.
