PHYS 2010: Non-Calculus-Based Physics I

Join us in this enlightening video as we explore the fascinating world of projectiles and their optimal launch angles. We dive into the physics behind how a fixed initial speed affects the range of a projectile and why, for most angles, there are two choices that yield the same range. Delve into factors that affect an archer's ability to hit a target, including wind, and learn why a smaller angle, closer to the horizontal, is often preferable. Discover when and why a larger angle may be necessar

Discover the impact of a 0.09-N thrust engine on a 480 kg spacecraft's speed during 1 week of maximum power operation. Uncover the assumptions involved in this space physics scenario.

Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.

Explore the world of high-performance sports cars and learn how to calculate their average acceleration when accelerating and coming to a stop.

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.

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.
