PHYS 101: Physical Geology

Discover how to optimize the launch tube acceleration to achieve the maximum height and earn the most points in your laboratory experiment.

Join us for a journey with electrons in this video! We explore the motion of an electron through a resistive strip powered by a 12V battery. Discover the electron's direction, work done by the electric field, and the transfer of energy to thermal energy in the strip.

Discover the fascinating world of Slinky physics as we explore the speed of transverse waves when this iconic toy is stretched by a 2.0-N force. Dive into the science behind the Slinky's behavior!

Join us in a lunar leap! We estimate how gravity affects jumping distance on the Moon compared to Earth, with the same takeoff speed and angle. Explore the moon's reduced gravity and its impact on human capabilities.

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.
