Here I derive the formula used for logarithmic decrement. This is way to experimentally determine the values of your damping ratio. To do it:

1) Find the maximum amplitudes of your first peak and second
peak
2) Find delta...

We get to start our Table of Friends today. Dimensions are your friends and there are so many dimensions to keep track of, so we create our Table of Friends to help us keep track of them. Today's friends have to do with One Dimensional...

It Explains the quantum mechanical model and Schrodinger wave equation

This is a very basic introduction to Tip-to-Tail Vector Addition using a motorized toy car that I made. Also included is an introduction to Vectors and Scalars, their definitions and some variable examples of Vectors and Scalars.

In this video, the teacher explains the physics behind roller coasters and how engineers design and build them. Topics covered include gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, conservation of energy, friction, acceleration, and...

How to Survive the Microcosmos

Work and Energy for Rigid Bodies summary

It describes time measuring instruments in ancient and modern period. It also explains how to measure temperature in a laboratory and clinic.

Frederick Taylor was a leading voice in the Scientific Management movement of managerial studies. Through studies on both time and motion, Taylor and those he influenced led many factories to dramatically increase their productivity...

When you take a shot on a pool table or tackle someone in a football game, you're participating in a collision. But the two events we just mentioned are totally different kinds of collisions! We have to learn the varieties and what they...

The concept of kinetic energy applied to a stationary, rotating wheel is used to define Moment of Inertia and derive Rotational Kinetic Energy. Moment of Inertia is demonstrated.

This is how you include air resistance in projectile motion. It requires the Drag Force and Numerical Modeling (or the Euler Method). It is also very helpful to use a spreadsheet to do the calculations. I prove a statement from a...

This video discusses the important aspects of Newton’s First Law of Motion. Combining live-action examples and animated diagrams, students will learn that the natural motion of an object is to move at a constant speed and in a straight...

With support from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Emerging Frontiers of Research and Innovation (EFRI) program, bioengineer Gert Cauwenberghs, of the Jacobs School of Engineering and the Institute for Neural Computation at the...

Garth Crooks advises us to ignore the primadonnas and the sordid tales about footballers visiting brothels, and not to confuse the performer with the performance.The Beautiful Game? You're having a laugh! (4 of 11)

850 horses all lined up--that's how much power a NASCAR Sprint Cup engine has. The engine's job is to convert the energy in fuel to speed. NASCAR engines do it faster and more efficiently than passenger car engines.

In this video, students will learn about six simple machines: lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. They will understand the basic principles of how these machines work and how they can make our lives easier by...

This Picasso painting is one of his most famous, and one of the most influential and important pieces of art in history. Why?

Most people who know of origami think of it as the Japanese art of paper folding. Though it began centuries ago, origami became better known to the world in the 20th century when it evolved into a modern art form. In the 21st century,...

An introductory projectile motion problem where you have to break the initial velocity vector in to its components before you can work with it. The Nerd-A-Pult is the perfect tool for showing projectile motion.
