PHY 114: Physics II

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.

Discover the key reasons why measurement standards rooted in laboratory procedures offer advantages over standards based on specific objects, like the international prototype kilogram. Dive into the world of metrology and standardization in this informative video.

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 secrets of watch crystals in this video! We convert the frequency of a quartz crystal used in electric watches into its period. Join us to explore the principles of timekeeping and crystal oscillations.

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

Understand how to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction using a wooden block and a spring. Employing the law of conservation of energy, we use the spring's compression and stretch measurements. Through energy equations and Newton's second law, we deduce that ? equals 0.4.
