PHY 6938: PHY 6938

Analyze the physics of a falling squirrel, calculating its velocity upon hitting the ground and the deceleration due to limb bending.

Explore the fundamental concept of work in physics and discover the key conditions, including movement, net force, opposing force, and direction, that must be met for work to be accomplished when pushing on an object, such as a rock.

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

Explore the world of collectible stamps as we delve into the story of the rare 1918 'Jenny' stamp and its astonishing auction price. Join us to learn about the use of a simple magnifying glass to examine this valuable collectible and discover how to calculate its focal length.

Illuminate the science of flashlight power! In this video, we explore how a 6V bulb is powered by a 3V battery with an internal resistance. We calculate the power dissipation of the bulb and the terminal voltage of the battery, unraveling the physics of electrical circuits.

Uncover the fascinating science behind peephole lenses, including the principles of light refraction and observer positioning that allow for an extensive field of vision through a hotel room door.
