PHY 170: Fundamentals of Basketball

Join us on the baseball field as we calculate the physics of a ground ball throw to second base. In this video, we determine the distance from the shortstop to the second baseman and the vertical drop of the ball. Explore the principles of projectile motion in sports.

Learn how to determine the hot resistance and current in the electrical system of older cars with a 6.00-V voltage supply.

Explore the fascinating comparison between the acceleration of a motorcycle going from 80 km/h to 90 km/h and a bicycle accelerating from rest to 10 km/h in the same time frame.

Delve into the physics of high-speed tracks and calculate the radius where drivers experience a 5.5g acceleration, exploring the multiple options and their implications.

Explore the intriguing interplay of electric fields and conductors in this video. We examine how the presence of a point charge inside or outside a conductor affects the electric field. Join us to unravel the principles of electrostatics.

Explore the fundamental principles of this law, unraveling its implications, and clarifying common misconceptions related to mass preservation in chemical reactions.
