Determining Kinetic Friction with a Spring-Loaded Block
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Understand how to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction using a wooden block and a spring. Employing the law of conservation of energy, we use the spring's compression and stretch measurements. Through energy equations and Newton's second law, we deduce that ? equals 0.4.
Violin String Tension and Angle-Dependent Force
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
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.
Flashlight Bulb Power and Battery Terminal Voltage
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Illuminate the science of flashlight power! In this video, we explore how a 6V bulb is powered by a 3V battery with an internal resistance. We calculate the power dissipation of the bulb and the terminal voltage of the battery, unraveling the physics of electrical circuits.
Calculating Rope Tension from a Central Hanging Weight: A Physics Appr
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Discover how to calculate rope tension with an object hanging in the center. Understand the relationship between the sag, the weight of the object, and the tension. Convert the result into kilonewtons for easy reference.
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.
