Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.
Calculating Jet Engine Thrust for Cruising Speed
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Dive into the world of aviation as we calculate the thrust required for a medium-sized jet to maintain a cruising speed of 230 m/s at a specific altitude. Explore the impact of air density and drag coefficients on aircraft performance.
Orbit Altitude: Astronauts Above Planet's Surface
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Embark on a celestial journey! In this video, we calculate the altitude above a distant planet's surface where a starship orbits. Discover how astronauts experience reduced free-fall acceleration and the fascinating dynamics of space travel.
Projectile Range and Optimal Launch Angles Explained
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Join us in this enlightening video as we explore the fascinating world of projectiles and their optimal launch angles. We dive into the physics behind how a fixed initial speed affects the range of a projectile and why, for most angles, there are two choices that yield the same range. Delve into factors that affect an archer's ability to hit a target, including wind, and learn why a smaller angle, closer to the horizontal, is often preferable. Discover when and why a larger angle may be necessar
