PHYC 215: Human Physiology

Explore the physics behind an athlete's rope climb. Understand the relationship between power, force, and time, and how to calculate the minimum power output an athlete exerts. Witness the interplay of physics principles in evaluating athletic prowess.

Discover the perfect golf shot! We calculate the height of the tallest tree a golf ball must clear to achieve the longest possible hole-in-one. Explore the physics and precision of golf's ultimate achievement.

Delve into Newton's third law of motion and explore how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences whether force pairs cancel each other out.

Join us as we unravel the incredible journey of a shearwater seabird in an astonishing experiment. This remarkable bird was taken from its nest, flown 5150 kilometers away, and then successfully found its way back home 13.5 days later. We explore the concept of average velocity for both the return flight and the entire episode, shedding light on the bird's navigation prowess. Discover the fascinating world of animal navigation and physics in this captivating video.

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

Unlock the secrets of battery performance in this video! We calculate the terminal voltage for a battery with internal resistance, connected in series with resistors of different values. Explore the effects of resistance on voltage in electrical circuits.
