PHYS 213: Engineering Physics 1

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!

Explore the intriguing dynamics of a spring-mass system, set in motion by a hammer's impact. Learn about period, frequency, amplitude, acceleration, position over time, and the total energy of this unique scenario.

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.

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

Join us to explore the science of hand-warming through friction in this video. We calculate the temperature increase as a woman rubs her hands together, converting work into thermal energy. Dive into the physics of heat generation and discover how friction can keep you warm.

Dive into the world of projectile motion as we calculate the horizontal and vertical distances a launched projectile covers. Explore the impact of angle and speed on the trajectory, all explained in this engaging video.
