PHYS 111: Principles of Reasoning

Dive into the physics of cliff jumping as we analyze the splashdown speeds of two adventurous youngsters. Explore the factors that determine their speeds and choose the best explanation among the options provided.

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.

In this video we tackle the real-world physics problem of calculating the spring constant for a fisherman's scale along with the amplitude and frequency of its vibrations when a fish is added. We use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant and then apply oscillation formulas to determine the amplitude and frequency of the fish's vibrations

Using a cube measuring 28.0 cm per side, we calculate its total electric flux. Through Gauss's law, we determine the box's enclosed charge. The resultant enclosed charge is 9.77 x 10?? C.

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.
