PHYS 101: Objects in Motion

In this video we tackle the real-world physics problem of calculating the spring constant for a fisherman's scale along with the amplitude and frequency of its vibrations when a fish is added. We use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant and then apply oscillation formulas to determine the amplitude and frequency of the fish's vibrations

Explore the fundamental principles of this law, unraveling its implications, and clarifying common misconceptions related to mass preservation in chemical reactions.

Illuminate the science of flashlight power! In this video, we explore how a 6V bulb is powered by a 3V battery with an internal resistance. We calculate the power dissipation of the bulb and the terminal voltage of the battery, unraveling the physics of electrical circuits.

Discover the perfect golf shot! We calculate the height of the tallest tree a golf ball must clear to achieve the longest possible hole-in-one. Explore the physics and precision of golf's ultimate achievement.
