PHYS 231: Introductory Physics 1

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.

Analyze the physics of a falling squirrel, calculating its velocity upon hitting the ground and the deceleration due to limb bending.

oin us as we delve into the intriguing world of subatomic particles! In this video, we'll decipher the composition of a system containing 1525 electrons and protons with a net charge of -5.456 x 10^-17 C. Discover the precise number of electrons and calculate the total mass of this dynamic system. Unlock the secrets of particle physics with us!

Explore Earth's dimensions in this video! We calculate its circumference, surface area, and volume. Join us to understand the scope of our planet, both in its physical size and mathematical concepts.

Dive into the world of aviation as we calculate the thrust required for a medium-sized jet to maintain a cruising speed of 230 m/s at a specific altitude. Explore the impact of air density and drag coefficients on aircraft performance.

Explore the intriguing interplay of Earth's elliptical orbit, the changing seasons, and the gravitational forces it exerts on the Sun. We'll provide insights into the ratio of these forces and challenge you to consider multiple perspectives on this celestial phenomenon.
