Critical Angle for Total Internal Reflection
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Discover the magic of total internal reflection in this video! We explore how a ray of light refracts when traveling from glass into water. Find out the critical angle needed for total reflection, preventing any light from entering the water. Dive into the world of optics and refraction.
Electric Force Between Spheres Doubled Separation
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
In this enlightening video, we unravel the mysteries of electric charges and forces. Discover the fascinating concept of how the separation between two identical tiny spheres, each carrying the same electric charge, influences the force they exert on each other. Will the force double, become one-quarter as large, or remain unchanged? Join us to explore the intriguing world of electrostatics and the principles that govern electric interactions.
Time and Distance: Comparing 85 km/h and 115 km/h Cars
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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!
Car Deceleration: Angular Acceleration, Revolutions, Time, Distance, a
