Explore the effects of altitude change on a pendulum clock's speed when moved from the Mississippi Delta to the Rocky Mountains. Learn why it runs faster or slower and how to make adjustments. Discover the assumptions involved in this fascinating timekeeping scenario.
Hotel Peephole Lens: Achieving a 180-Degree View Through Refraction
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Uncover the fascinating science behind peephole lenses, including the principles of light refraction and observer positioning that allow for an extensive field of vision through a hotel room door.
Determining Kinetic Friction with a Spring-Loaded Block
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Understand how to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction using a wooden block and a spring. Employing the law of conservation of energy, we use the spring's compression and stretch measurements. Through energy equations and Newton's second law, we deduce that ? equals 0.4.
