PHYS 2111: Calculus-Based Physics Laboratory I

Discover the physics behind violin string tension and the angle-dependent force required when pushing it against the neck. Explore how the angle affects the force needed.

Uncover the methodology behind determining an unknown light's wavelength using the double slit experiment. Understand how fringe spacings relate to the light's properties. Find out the significance of second-order fringes and their measurements.

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.

In an elevator ascending, an occupant drops a coin, which accelerates at a different rate than expected. This reveals the elevator's own acceleration towards the Earth. By analyzing forces and tensions, we determine the cable's tension to be 16000 N.

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