Review of Chapters 1-8

2008-12-1101:20:08

We review midterm #4 as well as chapters 1-8 on vectors, kinematics, projectile motion, Newton's laws, and work and energy

Review of chapters 13-16

2008-12-0401:14:41

We review oscillation and simple harmonic motion, fluid mechanics, waves and sound.

Doppler Shift and Interference

2008-12-0201:14:00

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

2008-11-2655:51

We continue to look at mechanical waves, focusing on sound and hearing, specifically the decibel units for sound level.

Mechanical Waves

2008-11-2401:09:25

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

2008-11-2001:16:13

We introduce the continuity equation for mass and volume flow rate and the Bernoulli equation for relating pressure, height and speed of fluid.

Hydrostatics

2008-11-1801:11:15

We introduce density, pressure and the buoyant force and derive Pascal's law for fluids.

Periodic Motion

2008-11-1301:15:31

We look at parameters of periodic motion. Specifically we investigate simple harmonic motion and the pendulum.

Review of chapters 9-12

2008-11-0601:15:28

Review of angular motion and equilibrium

Gravitation

2008-11-0401:14:22

We look at Newton's law of gravitation and introduce the universal gravitational constant. We also discuss escape velocity and black holes.

Friction

2008-09-2501:16:57

We discuss systems in equilibrium and introduce the frictional force.

Free Body Diagrams

2008-09-1843:17

We discuss how to use free body diagrams to solve problems involving forces.

Newton's Laws

2008-09-1543:44

We introduce Newton's 3 laws.

Circular Motion and Relative Velocity

2008-09-1001:16:37

We derive the centripetal acceleration of an object moving in circular motion and also discuss the concept of relative motion where an objects velocity is described in a different reference frame than that in which it is desired.

Projectile Motion

2008-09-0801:13:04

We apply the equations of motion to problems in 2 dimensions.

Motion in 1 dimension

2008-08-2801:15:14

We finish our introduction of vectors with an introduction of the dot product and the cross product. We introduce displacement, velocity and acceleration as parameters of motion

Units, Scalars and Vectors

2008-08-2501:12:28

We look at dimensions and units of physical quantities and discuss the difference between scalars and vectors, as well as introduce vector addition. [note no audio due to technical issues]
