This program covers the important topic of refrigerators in Physics. We begin by discussing how refrigerators are just “heat engines” operated in reverse because they require energy to pump heat away from an object. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that...

Physics is frequently one of the hardest subjects for students to tackle because it is a combination of two of the toughest subjects for most students: Math and Word Problems. What sets this series apart from other physics teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked...

"Shoshana Zuboff, named "the true prophet of the information age" by the Financial Times, has always been ahead of her time. Her seminal book In the Age of the Smart Machine foresaw the consequences of a then-unfolding era of computer technology. Now, three decades later she asks why the once-celebrated miracle of digital is turning into a nightmare. Zuboff tackles the social, political, business, personal, and technological meaning of "surveillance...

"Humanity has reached a critical moment. Our world is unsettled and rapidly changing, and we face existential risks over the next century. Various outcomes--good and bad--are possible. Yet our approach to the future is characterized by short-term thinking, polarizing debates, alarmist rhetoric, and pessimism. In this short, exhilarating book, renowned scientist and bestselling author Martin Rees argues that humanity's prospects depend on our taking...

"When the technologies we use every day collapse our experiences into 24/7 availability, platforms for personal branding, and products to be monetized, nothing can be quite so radical as . . . doing nothing. Here, Jenny Odell sends up a flare from the heart of Silicon Valley, delivering an action plan to resist capitalist narratives of productivity and techno-determinism, and to become more meaningfully connected in the process"--

This program covers the important topic of conservation of energy (part 2) in simple harmonic motion in Physics. We begin by discussing how in a perfect system energy is neither created nor destroyed. As the object swings, the energy is continually transferred from kinetic to potential forms and vice versa. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis...

This program covers the important topic of standing waves and resonance (part 2) in Physics. We begin by discussing how waves can be made to reflect off of an object and interfere in the opposite direction to the original wave leading to a standing wave. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills...
Description
This program covers the important topic of traveling sound waves (part 2) in Physics. We begin by discussing how sound waves propagate through the air and other mediums. We discuss the mathematical form of the compression wave and discuss the speed of sound, frequency, and more. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students...
16) Physics 2 Tutor (Thermodynamics, Oscillations & Waves): Learning By Example. Speed of Sound Waves
Description
This program covers the important topic of the speed of sound waves in Physics. We begin by discussing how sound waves propagate through the air and how the speed of sound depends on the material through which the sound is propagating. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition...
Description
This program covers the important topic of work, heat, and PV diagrams in Physics. We begin by discussing how work and heat are related, and how the Pressure-Volume (PV) diagrams can be used to illustrate this relationship. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so...
Description
This program covers the important topic of latent heat and phase change in Physics. We begin by discussing the how adding or taking away energy from an object can cause it to change state between solid, liquid, and gas. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that...
Description
This program covers the important topic of oscillations (part 2) and simple harmonic motion in Physics. We begin by discussing how oscillations arise in nature and how everyday processes such as pendulums lead to simple harmonic motion. We also discuss how this motion can be modeled by a sinusoid. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed...
