PHYS 41: Electromagnetism

Dive into the world of aviation as we calculate the thrust required for a medium-sized jet to maintain a cruising speed of 230 m/s at a specific altitude. Explore the impact of air density and drag coefficients on aircraft performance.

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.

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.

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

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

Discover how to calculate rope tension with an object hanging in the center. Understand the relationship between the sag, the weight of the object, and the tension. Convert the result into kilonewtons for easy reference.
