Physics 50 Lectures @ SJSU Peter Beyersdorf

We review midterm #4 as well as chapters 1-8 on vectors, kinematics, projectile motion, Newton's laws, and work and energy

We review oscillation and simple harmonic motion, fluid mechanics, waves and sound.

We look at wave effects for sound including interference and beat notes and the doppler shift caused by a moving listener or source.

We continue to look at mechanical waves, focusing on sound and hearing, specifically the decibel units for sound level.

We introduce waves by considering solutions to the wave equations for propagation along a string. We introduce the concepts of superposition and standing waves.

We introduce the continuity equation for mass and volume flow rate and the Bernoulli equation for relating pressure, height and speed of fluid.
