Doppler Shift and Interference
12/2/2008
1:14:00
We look at wave effects for sound including interference and beat notes and the doppler shift caused by a moving listener or source.
Sound and Hearing
11/26/2008
55:51
We continue to look at mechanical waves, focusing on sound and hearing, specifically the decibel units for sound level.
Mechanical Waves
11/24/2008
1:09:25
We introduce waves by considering solutions to the wave equations for propagation along a string. We introduce the concepts of superposition and standing waves.
Fluid Dynamics
11/20/2008
1:16:13
We introduce the continuity equation for mass and volume flow rate and the Bernoulli equation for relating pressure, height and speed of fluid.
Hydrostatics
11/18/2008
1:11:15
We introduce density, pressure and the buoyant force and derive Pascal's law for fluids.
Periodic Motion
11/13/2008
1:15:31
We look at parameters of periodic motion. Specifically we investigate simple harmonic motion and the pendulum.
Review of chapters 9-12
11/6/2008
1:15:28
Review of angular motion and equilibrium
Gravitation
11/4/2008
1:14:22
We look at Newton's law of gravitation and introduce the universal gravitational constant. We also discuss escape velocity and black holes.
