This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...

A theory based on the distortion of large water drops is used to calculate the drag and acceleration of drops in the laboratory from rest to terminal velocity. The results show that the drag ...

The University of Virginia is investigating the use of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) angular rate sensor to measure head angular acceleration in impact testing. Output from the sensor, which measures ...
