PHYS 1110: General Physics 1

Explore the nuances of Newton's third law and learn how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences force pair cancellation.

Explore the fascinating world of friction in motion! In this video, we delve into the concept of frictional forces as we examine a crate being pushed across a factory floor. We'll calculate the magnitude and direction of the frictional force and uncover its role in maintaining constant velocity. Discover the science behind everyday motion.

Discover the physics behind violin string tension and the angle-dependent force required when pushing it against the neck. Explore how the angle affects the force needed.

Explore the physics behind an athlete's rope climb. Understand the relationship between power, force, and time, and how to calculate the minimum power output an athlete exerts. Witness the interplay of physics principles in evaluating athletic prowess.

Join us in exploring the concept of significant figures in numerical values. Learn to identify and count significant figures in various numbers, from whole numbers to decimals. Understand the precision and accuracy of your measurements through this engaging video.

In this video, we explore the concept of time and distance as we compare two cars traveling at different speeds along a straight highway. We'll calculate when the faster car arrives at a destination 16 km away and find out how far they must travel for it to arrive 15 minutes before the slower car. Join us for an engaging journey through the world of physics and velocity!
