PHYS 105: Fundamentals of Physics

Discover the physics behind the angle formed by loosely hanging hand straps on a streetcar negotiating a curved turn.

Learn how to calculate total displacement when traveling west and south at different speeds and durations. Explore the direction and magnitude of your journey in this informative video.

In this enlightening video, we unravel the mysteries of electric charges and forces. Discover the fascinating concept of how the separation between two identical tiny spheres, each carrying the same electric charge, influences the force they exert on each other. Will the force double, become one-quarter as large, or remain unchanged? Join us to explore the intriguing world of electrostatics and the principles that govern electric interactions.

Discover the fascinating world of Slinky physics as we explore the speed of transverse waves when this iconic toy is stretched by a 2.0-N force. Dive into the science behind the Slinky's behavior!

Discover electromagnetic induction with a rotating wire loop! In this video, we explore how a 12.0-cm-diameter wire loop generates an induced emf when it's aligned with a magnetic field in 0.20 seconds. Dive into the world of electromagnetic phenomena and uncover the average induced emf.

Discover the physics behind violin string tension and the angle-dependent force required when pushing it against the neck. Explore how the angle affects the force needed.
