PHYS 201: General Physics 1

Explore the dynamics of a bead under constant force. Understand its acceleration, velocity over time, and how to calculate its kinetic energy. Witness the interplay of motion equations and real-world applications in a simple system.

Explore the concept of capacitance and learn how to calculate potential difference, the impact of separation, and the work required for a parallel-plate air capacitor.

Explore the physics of a car's quick deceleration, including angular acceleration, revolutions, time, distance, initial velocity, and the realism of the scenario.

Join us for an engaging exploration of projectile motion as we dissect a fascinating scenario. We delve into the physics of a projectile fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at an angle of 42.2° above the horizontal on a flat firing range. Discover how to determine the maximum height, total time in the air, total horizontal distance covered (range), and the speed of the projectile 1.50 seconds after firing. This video will demystify the dynamics of projectiles in a clear and educational manne

Discover how energy conservation principles determine the velocity of a bouncing ball. Relate the ball's height and its potential and kinetic energies. Understand the velocity change upon impact and rebound.

Discover the dynamics of a commercial jet takeoff in this video! We explore tire rotation speed, centripetal acceleration, and a bacterium's grip on the rim. Dive into physics and microscopic forces, all while considering weight ratios.
