PHYS 131: Fundamentals of Physics for Life Sciences I

Join us on the baseball field as we calculate the physics of a ground ball throw to second base. In this video, we determine the distance from the shortstop to the second baseman and the vertical drop of the ball. Explore the principles of projectile motion in sports.

Discover the significance of models in the fascinating realms of relativity and quantum mechanics, where conditions defy our everyday experience. Explore the concept of a model and its role in understanding these complex theories.

Explore the world of thermal insulation and heat loss in this video. We compare single-pane and double-pane windows, calculating the heat loss ratio. Delve into the fascinating science of heat transfer and insulation factors. Join us to uncover the secrets behind energy-efficient windows.

Explore the fascinating science of air temperature change in this video! We calculate how the volume of inhaled air increases as it warms from 0.0°C to body temperature. Discover the principles of thermal expansion in the human body.

Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.
