Arapahoe High School Physics Podcasts

This podcast explains how to evaluate definite integrals at given limits of integration, and how this idea relates to finding the area under the curve when a function is graphed.

This podcast introduces integrals with the idea "un-doing" a derivative, and then works several examples based on the reverse of the power rule.

This podcast explains how to apply your understanding of derivatives to the problem of finding the maximum or minimum value of a function.

This podcast introduces how to perform derivatives for some more complicated functions, specifically how to use the chain rule for derivatives of composite functions, and how to use the product rule for the derivative of the product of two functions.

This podcast introduces common derivatives that can't be performed with the power rule, such as derivatives of some trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

This podcast introduces the concept of derivatives, at a depth appropriate for students beginning a calculus-based physics course. This includes a brief description of what a derivative means, and how to find derivatives using the power rule.

This podcast explains standing waves on strings, including an explanation for how to calculate which frequencies of vibration will 'work' to cause a certain string to resonate at all of its different harmonic frequencies.

This podcast introduces the idea of static equilibrium, once students are already familiar with torque concepts.

This podcast describes several sound wave properties, and introduces the sound wave phenomena of Doppler Effect and Beat Frequency. Simple calculations are also briefly discussed.

This podcast explains how to examine forces and torques while an object is rolling.
