PHYS 1443: General Technical Physics I

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.

Using a cube measuring 28.0 cm per side, we calculate its total electric flux. Through Gauss's law, we determine the box's enclosed charge. The resultant enclosed charge is 9.77 x 10?? C.

Explore the concept of capacitance in a spherical capacitor and learn how to calculate it. Discover how to find the plate area for a parallel-plate capacitor with the same capacitance and separation.

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

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.
