PHYS 6: Intro Physics I

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 math behind car spring oscillations when driving over bumps. Understand how a car's weight and driver affect the spring constant and resulting frequency. Grasp the interplay of forces and how they dictate harmonic motion.

Join us as we explore the dynamic world of gymnastics and the forces at play. In this video, we analyze a gymnast's routine on the rings, calculating the forces involved. Learn how the gymnast's body interacts with the rings and the floor, and discover how changes in arm angles affect the forces. Dive into the physics of human movement and gymnastics.

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.

Unravel the mysteries of rotational symmetry and principal axes in this video. We prove the relationships between the axis of symmetry and principal axes, showcasing the equal principal moments. Join us for an exploration of the fundamental concepts of rigid body dynamics.
