PHYS 210: Physics

Explore the fascinating optical phenomena involving a cat, a converging lens, and the creation of virtual and real images.

Explore the nuances of Newton's third law and learn how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences force pair cancellation.

Discover the incredible tale of David Purley's survival in a high-speed car crash! In this video, we calculate the magnitude of the acceleration he experienced during the rapid deceleration from 173 km/h to zero. Learn how to express it in units of gravity and explore the limits of human endurance.

In this video we tackle the real-world physics problem of calculating the spring constant for a fisherman's scale along with the amplitude and frequency of its vibrations when a fish is added. We use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant and then apply oscillation formulas to determine the amplitude and frequency of the fish's vibrations
