This video is an simple introduction to quantum mechanics that explains why there is still so much controversy over the meaning of this scientific theory.

Learn about the different types of radiation in this physics video from the virtual school. Alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays... what are they and how do they differ?



Introducing 'Alpha Man', 'Beta Boy' and 'The...

In this video I prove (in the 1D case) that the work done by a spring on a particle is equal to the change in elastic energy.

Can anything travel faster than the speed of light? Is it even possible for something to undertake the “speed of light” travel? And what if something can actually travel faster than light? What is Cherenkov radiation and how is it...

Introduction to the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator: Wavefunction? Energy?

It Explains the quantum mechanical model and Schrodinger wave equation

1) What is the van der Waals equation of state?<br/>
2) What are the constant<br/>s, a and b?
3) How does this relate to<br/> the hard shell model?
4) What can<br/> the van der Waals model tell us?

Research assignment: Teach me about spin. Below there are suggested questions, recommended sources and my social media accounts: QUESTIONS: Questions that require less research: 1. This is our first real example of quantization, the...

This is a educational video that explains the concept of radioactivity in atoms. The video covers three types of radiation that are emitted by unstable atomic nuclei to become more stable - alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma...

This nugget explains the mathematical expressions for force for uniform circular motion.

F=ma for rigid bodies proof

If there are no external forces acting on the system then conservation of linear momentum applies

👉 Learn how to solve particle motion problems. Particle motion problems are usually modeled using functions. Now, when the function modeling the position of the particle is given with respect to the time, we find the speed function of...

Learn the basics about using moles. This is part 1 of 3 parts, teaching you about using moles, as a part of the chemical calculations topic. Avogadro’s number describes what is known as 1 mole, or 12 g of carbon atoms. This is used in...

This video discusses the concept of gravity and its importance in keeping objects in place. It discusses Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation and how gravity affects various aspects of our lives, from objects falling to the...

Upon viewing the Exploring the Building Blocks of Matter video series, students will be able to do the following: Understand that the quest to better understand the building blocks of matter has transpired over the past several thousand...

Lets talk about one of the most misunderstood but awesome concepts in physics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Or maybe it should be the Heisenberg fuzziness principle instead? Would that confuse less people?

These second-order nonlinear differential equations can be written in the form:

dx/dt = f
(x,y)
dy/d

t = g(x,y)

Got a nonlinear differential equation? No problem, just linearize it! This method...

This nugget describes the nucleus of an atom. It talks about the various aspects of a nucleus like atomic number, atomic mass unit, isotopes and isobars, with examples.

Radioactivity. We've seen it in movies, it's responsible for the Ninja Turtles. It's responsible for Godzilla. But what is it? It's time to learn exactly what nuclear reactions are, and what it is that makes atomic bombs so destructive,...

Entropy explained with simulations. Intuitively understand entropy. Why Heat only flows one direction. Physics lecture with simulations of the system. The reason is because of statistics and more specifically multiplicity. We will...

Lasers are known to burn things, fix eyes, and dance on powerpoint presentations. But they can also be used to cool objects to some of the coldest temperatures in the universe.

In this video I prove that the work done by the force due to gravity (assumed to be constant and downwards) is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy.
