PHYS 010: Introduction to Physics

Uncover the secrets of watch crystals in this video! We convert the frequency of a quartz crystal used in electric watches into its period. Join us to explore the principles of timekeeping and crystal oscillations.

Explore the fascinating world of light coherence! In this video, we examine various pairs of light sources to determine their coherence. From candles to reflections in mirrors and soap films, we unravel the concept of coherent light sources.

Discover how to calculate the latent heat of fusion of mercury using calorimetry. Grasp the role of thermal equilibrium in heat transfer calculations. Derive the value of mercury's latent heat of fusion based on experimental data.

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

Dive into the world of projectile motion as we calculate the horizontal and vertical distances a launched projectile covers. Explore the impact of angle and speed on the trajectory, all explained in this engaging video.

Embark on a celestial journey! In this video, we calculate the altitude above a distant planet's surface where a starship orbits. Discover how astronauts experience reduced free-fall acceleration and the fascinating dynamics of space travel.
