Centre of mass

by Joe Wolfe
Centre of mass
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 14 years ago | 1841 views

Circular motion
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 15 years ago | 1918 views

Energy and power
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 14 years ago | 1451 views
Rating:

The total work done on an object equals the increase in its kinetic energy. For conservative forces, we can define potential energy.

Human Sound

by Joe Wolfe
Human Sound
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 12 years ago | 2132 views
Rating:

Sound is produced in the larynx; filtering it in the vocal tract produces formants and phonemes. The acoustics, mechanics and some neurobiology of hearing. Pitch perception.

Interference and consonance

by Joe Wolfe
Interference and consonance
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 12 years ago | 1735 views
Rating:

Superposing waves with different frequencies gives beats and Tartini tones. Removing beats gives consonance. Tuning consonances gives temperament.

Momentum

by Joe Wolfe
Momentum
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 14 years ago | 1506 views
Rating:

p=mv. If external forces are zero, momentum is conserved. In collisions, energy may be conserved (elastic) or not (inelastic).

Motion with constant acceleration (kinematics)

by Joe Wolfe
Motion with constant acceleration (kinematics)
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 15 years ago | 1733 views
Rating:

Kinematics quantifies motion without explaining the causes of it. Here we study accelerations that are zero, positive or negative.

Newton’s laws of motion

by Joe Wolfe
Newton’s laws of motion
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 15 years ago | 1415 views
Rating:

F=ma (laws 1&2). Forces come in pairs that add to zero (3). Newton's laws apply in inertial frames of reference. Some common approximations made in applying them.

Oscillations

by Joe Wolfe
Oscillations
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 14 years ago | 1608 views
Rating:

Inertia and restoring forces can, with low friction or damping, lead to oscillations and resonance. We analyse the mechanics of vibrations.

Projectile motion
for 14-19 and upwards,
Lectures | 14-19 and upwards | 15 years ago | 1369 views
Rating:

Motion with uniform acceleration, such as in a uniform gravitational (or electric) field is projectile motion, analysed here with examples.
