PHYS 4483: Theoretical Mechanics

Join us in a lunar leap! We estimate how gravity affects jumping distance on the Moon compared to Earth, with the same takeoff speed and angle. Explore the moon's reduced gravity and its impact on human capabilities.

Discover the fascinating world of Slinky physics as we explore the speed of transverse waves when this iconic toy is stretched by a 2.0-N force. Dive into the science behind the Slinky's behavior!

Unravel the mysteries of rotational symmetry and principal axes in this video. We prove the relationships between the axis of symmetry and principal axes, showcasing the equal principal moments. Join us for an exploration of the fundamental concepts of rigid body dynamics.

Explore the fascinating optical phenomena involving a cat, a converging lens, and the creation of virtual and real images.

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

Explore the fundamental concept of work in physics and discover the key conditions, including movement, net force, opposing force, and direction, that must be met for work to be accomplished when pushing on an object, such as a rock.
