PHYS 212: General Physics I; Non Calculus-Based

Explore the world of high-performance sports cars and learn how to calculate their average acceleration when accelerating and coming to a stop.

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.

Discover the dynamics of a commercial jet takeoff in this video! We explore tire rotation speed, centripetal acceleration, and a bacterium's grip on the rim. Dive into physics and microscopic forces, all while considering weight ratios.

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.

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

Discover the limits of circular motion as we explore the maximum speed a ball can achieve before its string breaks. Uncover the physics behind this thrilling scenario in our engaging video.
