PHYS 2299: Physics With Calculus I

Delve into Newton's third law of motion and explore how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences whether force pairs cancel each other out.

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

Explore the intriguing physics of a sandal dropped from a moving ship and learn how to calculate its velocity relative to the ship and a stationary observer on shore.

Join us as we delve into the physics of a monkey and her cart, complete with a spring. Witness the intriguing change in maximum speed when the monkey picks up a cantaloupe. Learn how mass and vibrations affect the outcome.

Discover how energy conservation principles determine the velocity of a bouncing ball. Relate the ball's height and its potential and kinetic energies. Understand the velocity change upon impact and rebound.

Learn how to convert between radians and degrees for various angle measurements, expanding your understanding of angular units.
