CHAPTER2: HEAT, TEMPERATURE
laws of thermodynamics
lecture
note chapter 2
more on atmosphere
more on pressure in fluids

CHAPTER3: GRAVITY, NEWTON's
LAWs, conservation of momentums
lecture
note chapter 3 |
inertia:

 see exploration of physical .. Galileo and race
Galileo , different mass, same acceleration that's why
planetary motion (launch a satellite. if curvature greater earth's = orbit)
projectile motion above Paris
the monkey
projectile motion on different planets
play with this game newton's second law + gravity
conservation of momentum, collision
compton effect, conservation of momentun what happens in space if you don't go by newton's rules circular motion game

what is a wave water waves are circular wavditiones: amplitude and frequency creating a wave from a source of energy (transverse) creating longitudinal wave transverse and longitudinal waves S and P waves from earthquakes demonstration: speed depends on the tension play with the applet reflecting wave 1 pulse, 1 end reflecting wave - depends on boundary condition more in depth here speed of wave decreases in a different medium
