Calculating k, Amplitude & Frequency for Fisherman's Scale
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
In this video we tackle the real-world physics problem of calculating the spring constant for a fisherman's scale along with the amplitude and frequency of its vibrations when a fish is added. We use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant and then apply oscillation formulas to determine the amplitude and frequency of the fish's vibrations
Lunar Lander Descent: Initial and Final Velocities
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Join us on an exciting lunar adventure as we explore the descent of a lunar lander towards the moon's surface. We'll unravel the physics behind its journey using the equation y(t) = b - ct + dt^2, and answer questions about the lander's initial and final velocities. Get ready to explore the dynamics of space exploration and lunar landings in this informative video!
