PHYS 104: Experimental Physics

Dive into the world of projectile motion as we calculate the horizontal and vertical distances a launched projectile covers. Explore the impact of angle and speed on the trajectory, all explained in this engaging video.

Discover the limits of circular motion as we explore the maximum speed a ball can achieve before its string breaks. Uncover the physics behind this thrilling scenario in our engaging video.

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.

Embark on a celestial journey! In this video, we calculate the altitude above a distant planet's surface where a starship orbits. Discover how astronauts experience reduced free-fall acceleration and the fascinating dynamics of space travel.

Discover how energy conservation principles determine the velocity of a bouncing ball. Relate the ball's height and its potential and kinetic energies. Understand the velocity change upon impact and rebound.
