PHYS 141: Introductory Mechanics

Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.

Using a cube measuring 28.0 cm per side, we calculate its total electric flux. Through Gauss's law, we determine the box's enclosed charge. The resultant enclosed charge is 9.77 x 10?? C.

Step into the thrilling world of amusement park divers as we explore the physics behind their jaw-dropping stunts. Diving from a platform 21.3 meters (70 feet) above a pool of water, we investigate the announcer's claim that divers enter the water at a speed of 56 miles per hour (25 meters per second). We'll also uncover the possibility of divers leaping directly upward to achieve a specific water entry speed and examine the physical feasibility of such a feat. Join us for an educational journey

Explore the physics behind calculating the velocity of pebbles thrown by Romeo to hit Juliet's window with only a horizontal component.

Unlock the secrets of calculating electric charge using Coulomb's Law and discover the fascinating world of electrostatic forces. Learn how to determine the charge on two spheres, spaced 20.0 cm apart, and understand the role of elementary particles in this physics tutorial.

Explore the concept of capacitance in a spherical capacitor and learn how to calculate it. Discover how to find the plate area for a parallel-plate capacitor with the same capacitance and separation.
