PHYS 303: Analytical Mechanics I

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.

Explore the intricate dynamics of an L-C circuit as we analyze voltage current and energy transitions between a 60.0 millihenry inductor and a 250 microfarad capacitor. Understand the principles of energy transfer and storage in this system. Uncover key insights from calculations on capacitor charges and inductor energies at specific circuit conditions.

Explore the fundamental concept of work in physics and discover the key conditions, including movement, net force, opposing force, and direction, that must be met for work to be accomplished when pushing on an object, such as a rock.

Explore the profound link between these two fundamental concepts in physics, and understand how they relate through the Work-Energy Theorem.

Discover the incredible tale of David Purley's survival in a high-speed car crash! In this video, we calculate the magnitude of the acceleration he experienced during the rapid deceleration from 173 km/h to zero. Learn how to express it in units of gravity and explore the limits of human endurance.

Discover how to optimize the launch tube acceleration to achieve the maximum height and earn the most points in your laboratory experiment.
