Episode list

This episode will take our first steps into the language of Physics; mathematics. Every branch of science has its own way to describe the things that it investigates. And, with Physics, that's math. In this episode, Shini talks us through derivatives and how calculus helps us to understand the world around us.

Continuing with last week's introduction of calculus, Shini leads us through the ways that integrals can help us figure out things like distance when we have several other key bits of information.

Continuing in our journey of understanding motion, direction, and velocity, Shini introduces the ideas of Vectors and Scalars so we can better understand how to figure out motion in 2 Dimensions.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks about Newton's laws of motion.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini Somara tells us about Static and Kinetic friction; how they work and how they're different.

In this episode, Shini discusses centripetal force, centrifugal force, and a few other bits of physics to help us understand Uniform Circular motion.

Shini discusses the apple story and the law of universal gravitation.

Shini discusses the meaning of work, energy, and power in physics.

A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and many other things dictate how collisions can be unique. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini leads us through an understanding of collisions.

Shini delves into the world of Rotational Motion.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini discusses what torque is, how it works, why it works, and what it all has to do with this thing called "Moment of Inertia."

The Physics we're talking about today has saved your life. Whenever you walk across a bridge or lean on a building, Statics are at work. Statics is the study of objects when they're NOT accelerating. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about stretching, compressing, and springing as they relate to Statics.

Shini discusses what fluids are and how they work.

This episode continues our exploration of fluids and fluid dynamics.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about a particular mistake made in engineering the Millennium Bridge which allows us to talk about simple harmonic motion.

Ropes can tell us a lot about how traveling waves work so, in this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini uses ropes (and animated ropes) to talk about how waves carry energy and how different kinds of waves transmit energy differently.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini goes over some of the basics (and some of the not so basics) of the Physics of Sound.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about how music functions in terms of waves and how these waves interact with our ears.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about temperature and the ideal gas law. Also, we figure out how much air is in your car.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about sea level, kinetic theory, and phase changes.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks about the Physics of heat.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about Thermodynamics and Entropy. Also, we learn about Isovolumetric, Isobaric, Isothermal, and Adiabatic processes.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about how engines work, what makes them efficient, and why they're pretty cool.

Shini talks about electrostatic forces, electrical charge, Coulomb's law, and the force between charged particles.

Shini chats about capacitors, conductors, electric field lines, and how objects with net charge generate electric fields.

Shini discusses Electrical Potential Energy, Electric Potential, Voltage, Capacitors, Energy Storage, and Potential Energy.

Shini talks to us about electric current, voltaic cells, and how we get electric charge.

Shini talks about both series and parallel circuit configurations, and how the laws of conservation affect the current and voltage for each.

Shini walks us through the differences between series and parallel circuits and how that makes Christmas lights work the way they work.

In this episode, we encounter junctions, loops, and capacitors.

Shini takes us into the world of magnetism.

Hans Christian Oersted had just discovered the connection between electricity and magnetism. Meanwhile, a French physicist named André-Marie Ampère was experimenting with some wires, trying to learn more about the connection between currents and the magnetic fields they create. Ampère would discover one of the most fundamental laws of electromagnetism: what we now call Ampère's Law.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Megneto helps Shini explain what induction is, how it works, and why magnetism is so seemingly complicated.

Shini talks to us about how power gets to our homes.

Shini delves into the world of AC Circuits.

In the early 1800s, Michael Faraday showed us how a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force, or emf, resulting in an electric current. He also found that electric fields sometimes act like magnetic fields, and developed equations to calculate the forces exerted by both. In the mid-1800s, Scottish physicist James Maxwell thought something interesting was going on there, too. So he decided to assemble a set of equations that held true for all electromagnetic interactions. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about Maxwell's Equations and how important they are to our understanding of Physics.

Shini discusses the physics of light.

Shini shows us how we know that light exists as a wave and why that's really cool.

Shini discusses what we can learn from light.

Shini talks to us about optical instruments and how they make magnification possible.

Shini talks to us about perspective, observation, and how relativity is really weird.

Shini introduces to the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how it helps us understand light.

Shini attempts to explain a little more on the topic of Quantum Mechanics.

Shini sits down to go over the basics of Eienstien and Nuclear Physics.

Shini sits down to talk about Astrophysics and Cosmology.
