AP Physics C Videos

Image
Every spring I hear the same thing from many AP Physics C students, “Why did I not find your videos earlier?” Please help spread the word so more students find my videos earlier in the year. Let’s help more people learn physics!

A little "push".

Image
Due to the highly educational nature of my videos, it is unlikely any of my videos will ever go viral. However, it would be nice to give one of my videos a little “push”. Let’s try that with my most recent “ canoe ” video. It would be great if you could like and/or share this post, and watch and like the video on YouTube. I have never tried this before and am curious how effective it will be. Thank you for your help and wish me luck! -mr.p

Demonstrating Rotational Inertia (or Moment of Inertia)

Image
Have you ever struggled to describe Rotational Inertia to your students? Even worse, have you ever struggled to understand Rotational Inertia yourself. (I know I have. 😇) Did you know Rotational Inertia is the same as Moment of Inertia? Yeah, I’m with you there. I did not know the name had been changed until recently. However, I do think Rotational Inertia is a more logical phrase than Moment of Inertia. Well, if you would like some help with the concept of Rotational Inertia, then I highly suggest the Rotational Inertia Demonstrator from Arbor Scientific because it is an easy way to demonstrate the concept of rotational inertia. The demonstrator is composed of three pulleys of different sizes all centered around the same axle. Attached to the pulleys are four spokes on which four masses can be placed. The distance from the axle, or axis of rotation, of the four masses on the spokes can be adjusted. In order to understand rotational inertia, we should first review the equati...
