Motion and Stability

Buoyancy video — In this video, students will learn that researchers in China are reporting the development of miniature super-bouyant boats that float better than anything else out there. These boats float so well that an ordinary life preserver made from the same material might support a horse without sinking.

Formative assessments — This site has seven formative assessments for motion and stability,

Macroscopic collissions — This website provides text, images and equations to illustrate the concept of macroscopic collisions.

Maxwell's equation online course MIT open course — This course examines electric and magnetic quasistatic forms of Maxwell's equations applied to dielectric, conduction, and magnetization boundary value problems. Topics covered include: electromagnetic forces, force densities, and stress tensors, including magnetization and polarization; thermodynamics of electromagnetic fields, equations of motion, and energy conservation; applications to synchronous, induction, and commutator machines; sensors and transducers; microelectromechanical systems; propagation and stability of electromechanical waves; and charge transport phenomena. Acknowledgments The instructor would like to thank Thomas Larsen and Matthew Pegler for transcribing into LaTeX the homework problems, homework solutions, and exam solutions.

Momentum video — This video uses an explanation of economic equilibrium, how to make money from nothing, as a model for the momentum of a system and the fundamental forces in physics.

Motion and stability games — This site contains 14 Games for Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions.

Newton's Second Law of Motion — This You Tube Video from Khan's Academy explains Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Newton's Second Law of Motion — This site gives a detailed explanation of Newton's Second Law.

Newton's Second Law of Motion Video — This comprehensible video teaches about "Newton's 2nd law of motion" in this video. Newton's 2nd law states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the unbalanced force in the direction of force. It states that force is equal to mass times acceleration.
