PHYS 346: Applications in Theoretical Physics

Explore the physics of a tennis ball hitting a wall and its momentum changes. Learn about the original momentum, changes, and the concept of reference objects in this engaging video.

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

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

Explore the fundamental principles of this law, unraveling its implications, and clarifying common misconceptions related to mass preservation in chemical reactions.

Explore the fascinating world of friction in motion! In this video, we delve into the concept of frictional forces as we examine a crate being pushed across a factory floor. We'll calculate the magnitude and direction of the frictional force and uncover its role in maintaining constant velocity. Discover the science behind everyday motion.

Explore the physics of a car's quick deceleration, including angular acceleration, revolutions, time, distance, initial velocity, and the realism of the scenario.
