PHYS 2210: Physics for Science and Engineering I

Step into the showroom as we explore the intriguing connection between rug dimensions and area. Learn whether a rug being twice as long as another implies its area is also doubled. Join us for a comprehensive explanation of this geometric concept.

Unpack the concept of normal force on a sports car and its driver atop a hill. Utilize Newton's second law to calculate these forces based on speed and hill curvature. Discover the speed at which the driver feels weightless in the car.

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.

Explore the physics behind calculating the velocity of pebbles thrown by Romeo to hit Juliet's window with only a horizontal component.

Explore the concept of capacitance and learn how to calculate potential difference, the impact of separation, and the work required for a parallel-plate air capacitor.

Explore the concept of capacitance in a spherical capacitor and learn how to calculate it. Discover how to find the plate area for a parallel-plate capacitor with the same capacitance and separation.
