Deriving the velocity and acceleration equations for an object in simple harmonic motion. Uses calculus.

This video starts with a simple acceleration problem and then addresses a commonly held misconception that a negative acceleration always means you are slowing down. I do this by way of examples. Kate (my wife) drove the Prius with a...

A hollow sphere, solid sphere, and thin hoop are simultaneously released from rest at the top of an #incline. Which will reach the bottom first? Assume all objects are of uniform density. #RollingWithoutSlipping

Given certain parameters, how would solve this given problem? Equations Of Motion In One Dimension, Part 2

A record player is plugged in, uniformly accelerates to 45 revolutions per minute, and then is unplugged. The record player (a) takes 0.85 seconds to get up to speed, (b) spends 3.37 seconds at 45 rpms, and then (c) takes 2.32 seconds to...

In this video I show some of the necessary maintenance you should be performing on your 3D printer. After printing for months at a time, your printer will have parts that are loosened and degraded. These tips will help to reduce...

In this segment, NBC's Lester Holt and former NFL running back Deuce McAllister explore kinematics on the playing field. NSF-funded scientists Tony Schmitz from the University of Florida and John Ziegert of Clemson University explain how...

The video discusses the various quantities associated with motion, including distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. It explains the differences between scalar and vector quantities and provides examples to demonstrate...

"DESCRIPTION In this video, we’re going to look at different types of acceleration and compare acceleration in different experiences. You will learn that acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed. 2 factors affect it...

Just an intro into friction.

What are the force and acceleration vectors that are involved in centripetal acceleration? Using live action real world events and animated diagrams, this program explores this and other questions related to centripetal force and...

Circular motion is quite self-explanatory really; it’s simply the physics behind things moving in circles. When something moves in a circle it’s velocity is constantly changing, even if its speed is constant. This is because velocity is...

Mr.P introduces power which equals work divided by change in time and it also equals force times velocity times cosine theta.

If a pulley system is accelerating, then the tension in the cable is constant IF 1) Pulley is massless 2) Pin is fricitonless 3) Rope is massless To find the acceleration of the masses and the tension in the cable I recommend the...

What is acceleration? Learn how to calculate the average acceleration of an object. Velocity and Acceleration In One Dimension, Part 4

An introduction to Rotational Equilibrium with a review of Translational Equilibrium and demonstrations. Wait there’s more … Static Equilibrium!

One bullet is fired horizontally and simultaneously a second bullet is dropped from the same height. Neglecting air resistance and assuming the ground is level, which bullet hits the ground first?

Yes, there are mistakes that many people make when it comes to free-fall acceleration problems. I dispel many misconceptions and explain both why people think they are true and why they actually aren't. Oh, and there are some special...

Did you know that everything is moving? Even you, as you're sitting perfectly still, because the earth is moving, and the sun, and the galaxy, and so forth. For this reason, it only makes sense to talk about the motion of some object...

Learn about and see examples of Translational Equilibrium.

We experimentally determine the position, velocity and acceleration as a function of time for a street hockey puck that is sliding and slowing down. Is it uniformly accelerated motion?

When were talking about motion, it can be very useful to draw a graph. If you're moving in a straight line, a graph that's useful is a distance-time graph; this is where you have distance on the Y-axis and time on the X. If we mark this...

In this lesson we extend our knowledge of Uniformly Accelerated Motion to include freely falling objects. We talk about what Free-Fall means, how to work with it and how to identify and object in Free-Fall. Today I get to introduce so...

Roller coasters are thrilling amusement rides found in theme parks around the world. They consist of a train of cars that run on a track, featuring a combination of ups, downs, and loops. With various launch mechanisms and safety systems...
