PHYS 2223: Physics 2

Learn how to determine the hot resistance and current in the electrical system of older cars with a 6.00-V voltage supply.

Explore the fascinating world of geosynchronous satellites in this video. Learn how these communication satellites are strategically placed in circular orbits, staying directly over fixed points on the Earth's equator as our planet rotates. We delve into the physics behind these orbits, calculating the speed and acceleration of a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, using the Earth's radius and altitude as reference. Gain a deeper understanding of the science that enables global communications.

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 the physics behind the musical notes produced when car tires interact with highway lane dividers. This video explains the "stick-slip friction" phenomenon and its relation to tire vibrations. Learn how analyzing sound frequencies can offer insights into vehicle speeds

Explore the fascinating Doppler Effect and how it alters wave frequencies when a source or observer is in motion. Dive into the physics of frequency shift with formulas and practical examples, showcasing the significant impact of source velocity on observable frequencies.

Explore the world of high-performance sports cars and learn how to calculate their average acceleration when accelerating and coming to a stop.
