A CD-ROM tutorial examining core physics concepts. Covers: motion;, force; mechanical interaction; work, energy and power; wave motion; statics, dynamics and magnetism.
A series of three videos explaining the concepts of impulse and momentum, and conservation and momentum. Also shows how to analyse one- and two-dimensional collisions using vector addition
Explores the notion of acceleration in the familiar context of amusement rides. Studies the Nemesis ride at Alton Towers to determine what part acceleration plays in making a ride a thrilling experience:...
Discusses displacement, velocity and acceleration. Covers: relative motion; projectiles from standing and moving launch sites; Aristotlean ideas of motion; mation of the planets, geocentric, heliocentric;...
Introduces and develops the idea of mathematical modelling and shows how real-world problems can be solved bya modelling process. Presents and explains a modelling diagram, using as an example the...
Focuses on the problem of finding the radius of orbit of a geosynchronous satellite. Reviews the mathematic required and presents a detailed solution to the problem,e xplaining the modelling process. The...
A multimedia HyperCard version of a computer-illustrated text on numerical analysis. Includes the mathematical modelling of everyday situations, using calculus and simple harmonic motion. Also contains...
1: Describes how the principles of Newtonian mechanics are used to reconstruct traffic accidents from the debris and marks on the road. Shows how speeds of vehicles were calculated using momentum exchange,...
Attempts to discover why Newton’s laws of motion are not normally observed directly on earth, even though they appear to work in an orbiting space station, for example Skylab. To minimise the effects of...
