PHYSICS 1201: E&M, Optics, Modern Physics

Explore the physics behind calculating the velocity of pebbles thrown by Romeo to hit Juliet's window with only a horizontal component.

Discover the fascinating world of Slinky physics as we explore the speed of transverse waves when this iconic toy is stretched by a 2.0-N force. Dive into the science behind the Slinky's behavior!

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.

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.

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.

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.
