PH 268: Intro to PH I Lab

Join us for a dramatic river rescue mission! In this video, we solve the problem of how a rescue team can reach a child in danger of drowning in a fast-flowing river. We calculate the angle from the shore for their pilot to approach the child directly, considering the river's current and the boat's speed. Explore the principles of vector addition and save lives!

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.

Join us as we explore the dynamic world of gymnastics and the forces at play. In this video, we analyze a gymnast's routine on the rings, calculating the forces involved. Learn how the gymnast's body interacts with the rings and the floor, and discover how changes in arm angles affect the forces. Dive into the physics of human movement and gymnastics.

Join us in exploring the concept of significant figures in numerical values. Learn to identify and count significant figures in various numbers, from whole numbers to decimals. Understand the precision and accuracy of your measurements through this engaging video.

Unravel the mysteries of rotational symmetry and principal axes in this video. We prove the relationships between the axis of symmetry and principal axes, showcasing the equal principal moments. Join us for an exploration of the fundamental concepts of rigid body dynamics.

Uncover the secrets of watch crystals in this video! We convert the frequency of a quartz crystal used in electric watches into its period. Join us to explore the principles of timekeeping and crystal oscillations.
