... which relationships to utilize, how they apply to the problem, and where to apply them. Solution: The critical point is when the particle is at the highest point of the loop to loop. The Kinetic Energy at this point is equal to the change in Potential Energy so KE = ½ m v2 = m g (h – D). In addition ...

In this case the path of motion of each particle of the body is a plane curve parallel to a fixed reference plane. Since the motion of the body may be viewed within the reference plane, all the forces (and coup ...

THE NOT SO SIMPLE PENDULUM
... The deriving force for the motion of the mass is mgSin(θ). For small angles this can be written as mgx/L which shows that the force is proportional to the horizontal position x. The acceleration, gx/L is also proportional to x. The graph of acceleration versus position in Fig. 4 shows this behaviour ...

Experiment: Uniform Circular Motion
... The figure below shows a free body diagram of the forces acting on Ozobot while in uniform circular motion. Since Ozobot remains on its level surface and does not move upward, the normal force and the force of gravity are equal in magnitude and oppositely directed. The net force is therefore the for ...

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.
