PHY 113: PHY 113

Explore the physics of a car's quick deceleration, including angular acceleration, revolutions, time, distance, initial velocity, and the realism of the scenario.

Explore the physics behind calculating the velocity of pebbles thrown by Romeo to hit Juliet's window with only a horizontal component.

Learn how to calculate total displacement when traveling west and south at different speeds and durations. Explore the direction and magnitude of your journey in this informative video.

Explore the effects of altitude change on a pendulum clock's speed when moved from the Mississippi Delta to the Rocky Mountains. Learn why it runs faster or slower and how to make adjustments. Discover the assumptions involved in this fascinating timekeeping scenario.

Discover the math behind car spring oscillations when driving over bumps. Understand how a car's weight and driver affect the spring constant and resulting frequency. Grasp the interplay of forces and how they dictate harmonic motion.

Step into the thrilling world of amusement park divers as we explore the physics behind their jaw-dropping stunts. Diving from a platform 21.3 meters (70 feet) above a pool of water, we investigate the announcer's claim that divers enter the water at a speed of 56 miles per hour (25 meters per second). We'll also uncover the possibility of divers leaping directly upward to achieve a specific water entry speed and examine the physical feasibility of such a feat. Join us for an educational journey
