PHYS 221: Physics

Discover the perfect golf shot! We calculate the height of the tallest tree a golf ball must clear to achieve the longest possible hole-in-one. Explore the physics and precision of golf's ultimate achievement.

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.

In this video, we explore the concept of time and distance as we compare two cars traveling at different speeds along a straight highway. We'll calculate when the faster car arrives at a destination 16 km away and find out how far they must travel for it to arrive 15 minutes before the slower car. Join us for an engaging journey through the world of physics and velocity!

Explore the fascinating world of electric potential as we calculate the value at the center of a circular arrangement of five equally charged particles. Join us for a captivating journey into electrostatics and symmetry in this enlightening video.

Using a cube measuring 28.0 cm per side, we calculate its total electric flux. Through Gauss's law, we determine the box's enclosed charge. The resultant enclosed charge is 9.77 x 10?? C.
