D: Rotational Mechanics

These demonstrations provide an introduction to uniform circular motion, and to the forces acting on rotating bodies.

Here you will find demonstrations of the concept of moment of inertia, and its effects on angular acceleration.

These demonstrations explore angular momentum and its conservation.

This section holds gyroscopes of many varieties, and some examples of their applications.

In this section you will find entertaining and peculiar examples of some of the oddities of rotational motion. This includes the Coriolis effect, the Foucault pendulum, and some examples from games and sports.
