Classical Demonstrations Performed To A New Beat, John T. Moore Jan 1981

Classical Demonstrations Performed To A New Beat, John T. Moore

Faculty Publications

Music can help fill the gaps in time during demonstrations and make demonstrations more exciting.


Wave Demonstration Device, Glen T. Clayton, Harry D. Downing, Thomas O. Callaway Jan 1981

Wave Demonstration Device, Glen T. Clayton, Harry D. Downing, Thomas O. Callaway

Faculty Publications

Students often have difficulty gaining an understanding of wave motion without effective demonstrations being performed in the lecture. Many excellent approaches utilizing ripple tanks, waves on a spring, chain, rope, etc., are customarily employed. Perhaps the most well-known device for demonstrating many of the effects of wave motion is the shive or bell wave motion machine.1 The purpose of the present note is to describe a simple, inexpensive device which can be easily constructed by a teacher or student and can be used to demonstrate many of the properties of wave motion.


A Rolling Laboratory Platform For The Mobility Handicapped, John T. Moore Jan 1981

A Rolling Laboratory Platform For The Mobility Handicapped, John T. Moore

Faculty Publications

Portable laboratory stations designed for use by the mobility handicapped are available, but the expense of these precludes their use by many institutions. These authors share a more affordable solution.

A Variable Coeficient Of Restitution Experiment On A Linear Air Track, R. Gruebel, James C. Dennis, L. Choate Jan 1971

A Variable Coeficient Of Restitution Experiment On A Linear Air Track, R. Gruebel, James C. Dennis, L. Choate

Faculty Publications

A system consisting of two pendula attached to an air cart is mathematically analyzed, and the coefficient of restitution is shown to pass through a deep minimum. The solution to the small angle equation of motion is transcendental and provides an exercise in graphical methods for the beginning mechanics student.
