Physics 10 - Lecture 01: Atoms and Heat
Uploaded by: ucberkeley
Video Description:
Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents. Spring 2006. Professor Richard A. Muller. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics.

Tell a friend:














Last year my friends told me they cried in fillipenko's class. It was that good.
I say LIGHT is nothing compared to sound.
Sound is 0.0000 (even more zeros i don't know) 1% slower then light..
But in seconds its all timr reltive
a second is not 1 second in from what you may think a second is.. it maybe a second but Speed of sound is much much slower then light man..
it takes 5 seconds the same it would take light to get same place..
cuz light is like 10000000 m/s
and sound is like 300 m/s
how can it be 5 seconds.. well it just is lol.
soundwaves is a bunch of molecules (tons of atoms bonded) joined together so they travel really slow.
Basic law of the universe when something is small its fast.. when something is bigger its slower when something is really big with alot of little things all connected its all big.. and therefore slow... to move etc. all cuz of gravity really.. in space u go 100mph engines off always same speed
Makes sense now.
Considering sound waves, again atoms are not travelling anywhere too far, they just vibrate covering a distance comparable to the wave length of the sound.
Finally with constant energy you can of course accelerate a smaller body to a higher speed than a heavier one, but atoms of some cold gas might move slower than some celestial bodies. :) Peace.
I don't like hearing words like quantumms and goolguns and useless words like that.. the word atom was made atom for a reason 4 letters.. easy to access no stress on the mind. When you learn alot of information you get strain.
