full solution
In this video we tackle the real-world physics problem of calculating the spring constant for a fisherman's scale along with the amplitude and frequency of its vibrations when a fish is added. We use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant and then apply oscillation formulas to determine the amplitude and frequency of the fish's vibrations
Time and Distance: Comparing 85 km/h and 115 km/h Cars

full solution
In this video, we explore the concept of time and distance as we compare two cars traveling at different speeds along a straight highway. We'll calculate when the faster car arrives at a destination 16 km away and find out how far they must travel for it to arrive 15 minutes before the slower car. Join us for an engaging journey through the world of physics and velocity!
