PHYS 1152: Descriptive Astronomy

Delve into the physics of high-speed tracks and calculate the radius where drivers experience a 5.5g acceleration, exploring the multiple options and their implications.

Explore the nuances of Newton's third law and learn how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences force pair cancellation.

Watch as we explore the fascinating world of thermal expansion in this video. We start with a glass filled to the brim with 350.0 mL of water at a scorching 100.0°C, and then witness the magic unfold as the temperature decreases to a cool 20.0°C. But the real question is, how much more water can we add to the glass? Join us to find out!

Using a cube measuring 28.0 cm per side, we calculate its total electric flux. Through Gauss's law, we determine the box's enclosed charge. The resultant enclosed charge is 9.77 x 10?? C.

Unpack the concept of normal force on a sports car and its driver atop a hill. Utilize Newton's second law to calculate these forces based on speed and hill curvature. Discover the speed at which the driver feels weightless in the car.

Explore the physics of a tennis ball hitting a wall and its momentum changes. Learn about the original momentum, changes, and the concept of reference objects in this engaging video.
