This is an enhanced audio podcast of Dr. Beyersdorf's Physics 50 lectures at San Jose State University. Episodes are recorded on Monday and Wednesday afternoons during the fall 2008 semester.
-
Review of Chapters 1-8
We review midterm #4 as well as chapters 1-8 on vectors, kinematics, projectile motion, Newton's laws, and work and energy
-
Review of chapters 13-16
We review oscillation and simple harmonic motion, fluid mechanics, waves and sound.
-
Doppler Shift and Interference
We look at wave effects for sound including interference and beat notes and the doppler shift caused by a moving listener or source.
-
Sound and Hearing
We continue to look at mechanical waves, focusing on sound and hearing, specifically the decibel units for sound level.
-
Mechanical Waves
We introduce waves by considering solutions to the wave equations for propagation along a string. We introduce the concepts of superposition and standing waves.
-
Fluid Dynamics
We introduce the continuity equation for mass and volume flow rate and the Bernoulli equation for relating pressure, height and speed of fluid.
