PHYS 211: Physics for Scientists and Engineers

In this enlightening video, we unravel the mysteries of electric charges and forces. Discover the fascinating concept of how the separation between two identical tiny spheres, each carrying the same electric charge, influences the force they exert on each other. Will the force double, become one-quarter as large, or remain unchanged? Join us to explore the intriguing world of electrostatics and the principles that govern electric interactions.

Delve into the physics of high-speed tracks and calculate the radius where drivers experience a 5.5g acceleration, exploring the multiple options and their implications.

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.

Explore Earth's dimensions in this video! We calculate its circumference, surface area, and volume. Join us to understand the scope of our planet, both in its physical size and mathematical concepts.

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 relative strengths of two fundamental forces, the electromagnetic force and the gravitational force, in this enlightening physics tutorial. Learn about Coulomb's law and Newton's law of gravitation, and uncover the significant difference in their constants that makes the electromagnetic force much more powerful than gravity.
