PHYS 491: Intermediate Quantum Mechanics I

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 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 concept of capacitance and learn how to calculate potential difference, the impact of separation, and the work required for a parallel-plate air capacitor.

Discover the impact of a 0.09-N thrust engine on a 480 kg spacecraft's speed during 1 week of maximum power operation. Uncover the assumptions involved in this space physics scenario.

Unlock the world of electrical circuits and light intensity! In this video, we explore a circuit with three lights connected in parallel, featuring an open switch. Discover what happens to the intensity of each light when the switch is closed. Join us for a journey through electrical concepts and enlightening explanations.

Step into the thrilling world of amusement park divers as we explore the physics behind their jaw-dropping stunts. Diving from a platform 21.3 meters (70 feet) above a pool of water, we investigate the announcer's claim that divers enter the water at a speed of 56 miles per hour (25 meters per second). We'll also uncover the possibility of divers leaping directly upward to achieve a specific water entry speed and examine the physical feasibility of such a feat. Join us for an educational journey
