Introduction to Circular Motion
... An object moving in uniform circular motion is moving in a circle with a uniform or constant speed. The velocity vector is constant in magnitude but changing in direction. Because the speed is constant for such a motion, many students have the misconception that there is no acceleration. "After all, ...

What is a wave
... A standing wave is produced when two waves with the same amplitude, wavelength and frequency travel in opposite directions and interfere (fig. 4.7, pg. 389). Node – point on a standing wave that always undergoes complete destructive interference and therefore is stationary. Antinode – a point in ...

Potential and Kinetic Energy: The Roller Coaster Lab
... energy from combustion in a car engine to the mechanical energy that actually allows the car to move, or the transfer of electric energy to the mechanical rotation of a household dryer. This lab will use the well-known paradigm of a roller coaster to illustrate conservation of energy. A typical mode ...

Hunting oscillation
Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
