... The acceleration of the moon towards earth is given by our equation for centripetal acceleration. So Newton was able to evaluate the ratio of the moon’s centripetal acceleration to g. Now the question is, does this acceleration decrease as the square of the distance? He found that the ratio of dista ...

... Let’s keep thinking about spring dynamics for a moment, and I want you to consider me tying a mass to one end of the spring, and pulling it out. If I pull it out and let go, the mass will release and speed by the equilibrium point. Will it be going faster when I drop it from position 1 (a bit) or po ...

... See figure. A hollow SPHERE is on a track. It has radius R = 0.3 m & mass M = 15 kg. The moment of inertia of a hollow sphere is I = (⅔)MR2. It starts from rest at point A. It rolls without slipping to the right & down the track, past point B & moves to point C. It continues to the right past C, but ...

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.
