PHYS 3003: Classical Mechanics

Explore the nuances of Newton's third law and learn how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences force pair cancellation.

Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.

Learn how to determine the hot resistance and current in the electrical system of older cars with a 6.00-V voltage supply.

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 Earth's dimensions in this video! We calculate its circumference, surface area, and volume. Join us to understand the scope of our planet, both in its physical size and mathematical concepts.

Estimate a car's initial speed from skid marks using physics principles. Apply Newton's Second Law and equations of motion to deduce the initial velocity. Understand the role of frictional force in car deceleration during accidents.
