... Newton’s first law does not hold in every reference frame, such as a reference frame that is accelerating or rotating. An inertial reference frame is one in which Newton’s first law is valid. This excludes rotating and accelerating frames. How can we tell if we are in an inertial reference frame? By ...

Work and Energy
... The elastic potential energy of a spring compressed a distance x from its equilibrium position is given by where k is the spring constant. As described by Hooke’s Law, the force exerted by the spring is proportional to the distance the spring is compressed or stretched from equilibrium, F = – kx, wh ...

... 5) A thin, flexible metal plate attached at one end to a platform, as shown above, can be used to measure mass. When the free end of the plate is pulled down and released, it vibrates in simple harmonic motion with a period that depends on the mass attached to the plate. To calibrate the force const ...
