PHY 103: Intro to Human Geography

Explore how a mass spectrometer works by analyzing an ion's path through the device. Understand the relationship between electric and magnetic fields in determining the ion's trajectory. Learn to compute the radius of an ion's path within the mass spectrometer.

Explore the world of thermal insulation and heat loss in this video. We compare single-pane and double-pane windows, calculating the heat loss ratio. Delve into the fascinating science of heat transfer and insulation factors. Join us to uncover the secrets behind energy-efficient windows.

Uncover the fascinating science behind peephole lenses, including the principles of light refraction and observer positioning that allow for an extensive field of vision through a hotel room door.

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.

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.
