Position vs. Time Graph - Part 1
Mr. Andersen shows you how to interpret a position vs. time graph for an object with constant velocity. The slope of the line is used to find the velocity. A phet simulation is also included.

Relativistic Addition of Velocity | Special Relativity Ch. 6
This video is chapter 6 in my series on special relativity, and it covers the topic of relativistic addition of velocity: aka, how things that are moving relative to one inertial reference frame, which is moving relative to another...

Wave Period and Frequency
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the period is the time between wave and the frequency is the number of waves per second. Period is measured in seconds and frequency is measured in Hertz. Wave period and wave frequency are...

Motion
In this video Paul Andersen describes motion as the movement of an object over time. Displacement, velocity and acceleration are all defined. An experiment in motion is used to calculate velocity and acceleration of a tennis ball.

Position, Velocity and Acceleration
In this video Paul Andersen explains for the position of an object over time can be used to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the object. If a net force acts on a object it will experience an acceleration.
