PHYS 84626: Physics With Calculus II

Discover the significance of models in the fascinating realms of relativity and quantum mechanics, where conditions defy our everyday experience. Explore the concept of a model and its role in understanding these complex theories.

Explore the physics of a car's quick deceleration, including angular acceleration, revolutions, time, distance, initial velocity, and the realism of the scenario.

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 concept of capacitance in a spherical capacitor and learn how to calculate it. Discover how to find the plate area for a parallel-plate capacitor with the same capacitance and separation.

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