PHYS 150: How Things Work

Explore the fascinating comparison between the acceleration of a motorcycle going from 80 km/h to 90 km/h and a bicycle accelerating from rest to 10 km/h in the same time frame.

In this educational video, we dive into the concept of volume and its units. We explore the correct units for measuring volume and discuss the common misconception that a cylinder's volume is given by ?r^3h. Join us for a comprehensive explanation of the fundamentals of volume measurement and understand why the given formula doesn't hold.

Explore the intriguing physics of a sandal dropped from a moving ship and learn how to calculate its velocity relative to the ship and a stationary observer on shore.

Discover how energy conservation principles determine the velocity of a bouncing ball. Relate the ball's height and its potential and kinetic energies. Understand the velocity change upon impact and rebound.

Join us for an engaging exploration of projectile motion as we dissect a fascinating scenario. We delve into the physics of a projectile fired with an initial speed of 36.6 m/s at an angle of 42.2° above the horizontal on a flat firing range. Discover how to determine the maximum height, total time in the air, total horizontal distance covered (range), and the speed of the projectile 1.50 seconds after firing. This video will demystify the dynamics of projectiles in a clear and educational manne
