PHYSICS 131: Intro to PHYSICS

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.

Join us to unravel the mystery of oscillations! In this video, we'll determine the period of a mass oscillating with a 0.2 m displacement and 1.2 m/s maximum speed. Explore the physics behind periodic motion and discover the key to calculating its period. Dive into the world of harmonic motion with us!

In this video we break down a complex physics problem about a 330-kg piano sliding down a 28° incline while a man resists its motion. We meticulously calculate the force exerted by the man work done by various forces including friction and gravity and the net work done on the piano.

Discover the gravitational forces at play in a triangle of masses in this video. We calculate the net force on each mass and explore how changing the side length impacts these forces. Join us for a gravitational journey through physics.

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