LECTURE NOTES + applets
CHAPTER 1: KINEMATICS
examples of motion : uniform motion, constant acceleration along a line, circular motion,
harmonic motion, free-fall, projectile motion, falling with air resistance.
lecture notes

free-fall
a father and a hammer on the moon
circular motion applet
applet projectile motion
projectile motion
applet kill a monkey
zero gravity
CORIOLIS FORCE

CHAPTER 2: NEWTON'S LAWS

Forces : Newton, forces as vectors, weight, friction
lecture note

incline plane kinetic/static friction
name forces on a box on inclined plane
sky diver
free-fall applet
falling from 100,000 feet
short movie about the 4 fundamental forces. (5mn)

free-fall no air resistance applet
free-fall air resistance
Hammer and feather on the moon
LAB1 = conservation of  mass/Lavoisier

newton's 1st law 
 lecture note
learn more about Newton and history of Physics
table cloth trick
why do you need to wear seat belt?
wear your seat belt!
the truck and the ladder
inertia    
centripetal force and the bucket of water. won't spill
centripetal versus centrifugal force
uniform circular motion
space odyssey  
question
inertia and recoil force
CORIOLIS FORCE
 Mass vs weight
lecture notes

Newton's second law , centripetal acceleration
lecture notes

acceleration is inversely proportional to mass for same force
game net force = 0 means constant speed
game unbalanced force guess speed
force=acceleration, no force=constant speed
3 laws you tube video
circular motion = centriputal force + initial velocity

gravitation lecture notes
applet Newton's cannon
gravity decreases with distance (inversely proportional to distance squared)
putting a satellite into orbit, escape speed.

The international system of units
mass in kg
distance in meters
time in second
forces in newtons

...

Newton;s third law
lecture notes

what happens if you forget the third law in space?
beware of recoil a consequence of Newton's third law
for every action, there is a reaction

CHAPTER3:  Energy and Conservation laws

 momentum and conservation
lecture notes need to be worked on)
angular momentum
lecture notes
lab energy if I get clay
review: newton's law in action ; an object keep moving unless acted upon but a force, but
the response to a force depends on the strengh of a force and the inertia of the object.
so little friction too small to stop massive cars 
see here for videos
conservation of momentum in space.
applet collision
applet
recoil
compton effect = conservation of momentum in 3D
explosion = conservation of momentum in 3D
momentum in 2D = compton effect

Energie, work,machines

CHAPTER 4 Waves and Sounds, physics of Music (chapter 6)

lecture 6.1
other source= lecture waves/sound
what is a wave
water waves are circular
waves: 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

light bends toward slow medium
