Conservation of Angular Momentum or Kepler's 2nd Law A written lecture on gravitation potential & Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Newton showed that the motion is confined to a plane and that the motion of one body with regard to the other follows a curve of the various Conic Sections, that is, either an ellipse (of which a circle is a special case), a parabola, or a hyperbola. The determination of the motion of the Earth-Moon system,.
CHAPTER 15: Fluids
Bernoulli's Principle and How Wings Work At the same time, the air moving over the curved surface travels faster than the air moving over the straight surface. Because the air on the curved upper surface moves faster it exerts less pressure than the slow moving air on the bottom flat surface.
Venturi & Bernoulli This principle states that when gas or liquid is in motion, its pressure is reduced; the more rapid the motion, the greater the reduction in pressure. Bernoulli's Law was published in 1738 and simply stated says that for a steady flow of fluid, there will be no accumulation or depletion of either fluid or energy within the system.
Density & Buoyance Forces Density and Buoyancy:
A simple demonstration & set up using a cylindrical mass and bucket are suspended from a spring scale above a beaker with an overflow spout.
Fluids in Motion Turbulent flow is discussed and illustrated in detail..
Fluids in motion Steady flow: Velocity of the fluid at any point constant in time. If the velocity changes erratically from moment to moment, the flow is called turbulence.
CHAPTER 16: Simple Harmonic Motion

Examples of Simple Harmonic Motion Summary: the motion of a ball bouncing on the floor, the motion of a mass connected to a spring, and the motion of a bob swinging on the end of a string are all examples of harmonic motion. they all have a period, T. But motion of the mass attached to a simple spring can be mathematically described by a sinusoidal function.
Examples of Simple Harmonic Motion Some examples of periodic motion that approximate simple harmonic motion: A particular and useful kind of periodic motion is simple harmonic motion (SHM). Two riders on a merry-go-round have the same period even though one sits near the edge and has a large amplitude while the other sits near the axis of rotation and has a small amplitude.
