Physics 1 Mechanics Overview Mechanics is the branch of Physics dealing with the study of motion. No matter what your interest in science or engineering, mechanics will be important for you - motion is a fundamental idea in all of science. Mechanics can be divided into 2 areas - kinematics, dealing with describing motions, and dynamics, dealing with the causes of motion In Physics 1, we try to "cover" mechanics in 1-4.5 week cycle. Obviously, lots of things are going to get l ...

by Franz-Josef Elmer, University of Basel, Switzerland Welcome to the Pendulum Lab! This is a virtual laboratory where you can do hands-on experiments at rigid pendula. Together with the material presented in the lecture room, you can learn basic issues like harmonic oscillator and resonance but also advanced topics like parametric resonance, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos. Playing with the pendula in the lab, you only need curiosity and a browser which can run Java applets. However, to unde ...

Projectile motion refers to the motion of an object projected into the air at an angle. A few examples of this include a soccer ball begin kicked, a baseball begin thrown, or an athlete long jumping. Even fireworks and water fountains are examples of projectile motion. In this lesson you will learn the fundamentals of projectile motion. You will be given examples and interesting facts. Finally, you will get to test your knowledge with a game called Water Balloons!. But first, here is a history of projectile motion
