Purpose: Demonstrate dramatically Pascal's Law and the large forces attainable using hydraulic systems.

F1-03: PASCAL'S VASES

Purpose: Demonstrate that pressure is dependent only on depth, and not on the shape of the container.

Purpose: Demonstrate the Parallel Axis Theorem.

D2-11: HINGED STICK AND FALLING BALL

Purpose: Application of the rotational analog of Newton's second law.

D1-83: SPOOL

Purpose: Illustrate a counterintuitive problem in rotational dynamics.

D1-55: ROTATING ELASTIC RINGS

Purpose: Demonstrate "centrifugal reaction" and to indicate why the earth is oblate.

D1-40: CENTRIPETAL FORCE ON ROTATING RUBBER BAND

Purpose: Demonstrate centripetal force and centrifugal reaction.

D1-39: PENNY AND COAT HANGER

Purpose: Demonstrate centripetal force and centrifugal reaction in a dramatic way.

D1-30: TRAJECTORY FROM CIRCULAR ORBIT - OVERHEAD PROJECTOR

Purpose: Show that the instantaneous velocity of an object executing uniform circular motion is tangent to the circle.

C7-25: SUPERBALL, VACUUM MUD AND WOOD BLOCK COLLISIONS

Category: C7 Collisions

Purpose: Show that a larger impulse is imparted by an elastic collision.

C7-12: COLLISION OF BALLS - ONE LIGHTER MASS

Category: C7 Collisions

Purpose: Show what happens when one mass in a collision ball set is different from the others.

C7-04: AIR TRACK - COLLISION VELOCITY MULTIPLIER

Category: C7 Collisions

Purpose: Illustrate velocity multiplication with a three-to-one mass ratio collision.

C8-33: POWER - USING GRAVITY

Purpose: Demonstrate mechanical power.

C8-03: GALILEO'S PENDULUM

Purpose: Demonstrate conservation of energy in a simple system.

C6-11: SLIDING FRICTION - LECTURE TABLE AND FELT

Category: C6 Friction

Purpose: Show the effect on frictional force of velocity, normal force, and contact area.
