Author Hewitt, Paul
Title Conceptual physics alive! : volume 3 : momentum, energy, center of gravity, rotation / Paul Hewitt. [DVD]
Published Ann Arbor, Mich. : Arbor Scientific, c2002.
Collation 1 videodiscs (DVD) : sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in.
General Note "Observe Hewitt teach in a classroom with real students, using engaging demonstrations and artwork." -- Publisher website.
Contents Note DVD includes: 1. Momentum: Newton's 2nd law is rearranged to the form: Impulse = Change in Momentum. A variety of everyday examples, such as bouncing are used to support this impulse-momentum concept. Conservation of momentum is demonstrated with colliding carts on an air track. Segment length: 50 minutes.
3. Center of Gravity: The concepts of torque, center of gravity, and center of mass are applied to balancing. Demonstrations include finding the center of gravity of irregularly-shaped objects, a weighted disk that rolls uphill, and a seesaw. Segment length: 33 minutes.
4. Rotation: The concept of rotational inertia is developed from a variety of everyday examples and demonstrations using weighted objects, and rolling cans filled with both liquids and solids. Finally, Paul stands on a rotating turntable to demonstrate angular momentum. Segment length: 46 minutes.
Target Audience Unclassified.
Subject Physics -- Study and teaching.
