Rotation and Revolution

"It is important to understand the difference between rotations and revolutions. When an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an ob ...

Relativity in Motion

"The motion of any object is only meaningful when given relative to something else. Relativity in motion assures us that the laws of Physics don't vary depending on how much inertia an object has. Thi ...

Displacement

"Displacement is the change in a position vector. It is not the same as distance, which is a scalar measurement. The net vector of multiple displacment vectors if found according to the rules of vecto ...

Projectile Motion

"When an object is moving through space this object is called a projectile. Examples of projectile motion include a pen falling off a table, a ball thrown through the air or a cork shot from a champag ...

Conservation of Momentum

"The law of conservation of momentum says that if two objects collide, the force lost by one object is equal to the force gained by the other object. The total momentum of the system is the same after ...

Components of Vectors

"Two-dimensional vectors have two components: an x vector and a y vector. Each of these vector components is a vector in the direction of one axis. The sum of the components of vectors is the original ...

Centripetal Force

"Centripetal force causes an object in motion to continue in a curved path rather than a linear one. If this force stops, the object will continue in a tangential linear path. An example of centripeta ...

Centrifugal Force

"Many students call centripetal force centrifugal force, but the two are not the same. Centrifugal force is the reaction to centripetal force as explained by Newton's Third Law of Motion, but it is on ...

Parabolic Motion

"If an object moving forward in a straight line is affected by gravity it will fall in a parabolic arc. Since projectiles are objects affected only by gravity, the path of a projectile moving forward ...

Balanced Torques

"When the torques on either side of a fulcrum are equal, they are called balanced torques. A common example of balanced torques is two children on a see-saw. If the fulcrum is in the center of the see ...
