The velocity as a function of position of a horizontal mass-spring system is derived, graphed, and demonstrated. This is an AP Physics C: Mechanics topic. Content Times: 0:00 Simple Harmonic Motion Review 0:34 Total Mechanical Energy...

Our solar system has just one star in it, the sun. But this is actually not the most common situation for systems. Most systems are multi-star systems, with binary systems being extremely common. These are systems where two stars orbit...

What is the maximum linear speed a car can move over the top of a semi-circular hill without its tires lifting off the ground? The radius of the hill is 1.8 meters.

Rearranging Newton’s Second Law to derive the force of impact equation.

The watt balance lets researchers determine the mass of an object indirectly by determining two quantities: the strength of the magnetic field, and the current running through a coil of wire.

The #AngularMomentum of a #PointParticle moving at a constant velocity is shown to be constant.

Upon viewing the Measuring video series, students will be able to do the following: Generally explain that the process of measuring involves making observations of things using tools. Understand that measurements often involve the use of...

This video summarizes the topics covered in the Metric Mass and Volume series. In this program, students differentiate between mass and volume and describe how these are measured in the metric system. They learn how to use measuring...

A rope is wrapped around a bicycle wheel with a rotational inertia of 0.68MR^2. The wheel is released from rest and allowed to descend without slipping as the rope unwinds from the wheel. In terms of g, determine the acceleration of the...

Some ionic compounds are coordinated to a specific number of water molecules in solution. But how many? How can we find out? We can't see molecules! Whatever will we do? Something very clever, as it turns out. Take a look!

A 28.8 g yellow air hockey disc elastically strikes a 26.9 g stationary red air hockey disc. If the velocity of the yellow disc before the collision is 33.6 i cm/s and after the collision it is [4.79 i - 9.57 j] cm/s, what is the...

This video is a lecture on the topics of gravity and orbits. The speaker starts by discussing how objects in orbit remain in orbit due to the gravitational force experienced from other celestial bodies. They then explain how the...
