PH 2213: Physics I

Uncover the fundamental base quantities of the SI system and test your knowledge with a quiz to identify which one is not considered a base quantity. Is it mass, length, energy, time, or are they all base quantities? Join us to find out!

Join us to unravel the mystery of oscillations! In this video, we'll determine the period of a mass oscillating with a 0.2 m displacement and 1.2 m/s maximum speed. Explore the physics behind periodic motion and discover the key to calculating its period. Dive into the world of harmonic motion with us!

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.

Discover the impact of a 0.09-N thrust engine on a 480 kg spacecraft's speed during 1 week of maximum power operation. Uncover the assumptions involved in this space physics scenario.

Step into the thrilling world of amusement park divers as we explore the physics behind their jaw-dropping stunts. Diving from a platform 21.3 meters (70 feet) above a pool of water, we investigate the announcer's claim that divers enter the water at a speed of 56 miles per hour (25 meters per second). We'll also uncover the possibility of divers leaping directly upward to achieve a specific water entry speed and examine the physical feasibility of such a feat. Join us for an educational journey

Discover the physics behind the angle formed by loosely hanging hand straps on a streetcar negotiating a curved turn.
