Home | Practical Physics Find out about our education projects and free teaching resources from the links on this page. We also offer opportunities for school and college students to take part in STEM-related research over their summer holidays through our Nuffield Research Placements. Our work in education includes funding research and supporting its translation into policy and practice. In the past, we have worked in other subject areas including D&T, history, and languages, and further information is available on our curriculum projects page.

Difference Between Isotopes and Isobars Isotopes vs Isobars Atoms are the small building blocks of all existing substances. There are variations between different atoms. Also, there are variations within the same elements. Isotopes Atoms of the same element can be different. 1H – no neutrons, relative abundance is 99.985% 2H- one neutron, relative abundance is 0.015% 3H- two neutrons, relative abundance is 0% The number of neutrons a nucleus can hold differs from element to element. A mass spectrometer can be used to get information about isotopes. Isobars Isobars are atoms of different elements with the same mass number but their atomic numbers are different. Related posts:
Physics 121.6 Applets The following is a list of applet collections that you may find useful. In the table above however I have links to a few of the many applets available on the web that I think are most useful in illustrating the concepts of this course. Applets 1 - Graphs of Position and Velocity This Applet shows a cow on roller skates! Note the shape of the position vs. time graph and the velocity verses time graph for each of the following cases. Try different non-zero initial velocities with zero acceleration. This second applet displays much the same thing. Run Applet... Applets 2 - Vector Addition This Shockwave applet shows the addition of two vectors (Red vector + Green vector = Blue vector). Run Applet... Another applet which shows much the same thing in a slightly different way.... Run Applet... Applets 3 - Projectile Motion This Applet shows the path of a cannonball fired into the air over a horizontal ground. Run Applet... Here is another applet showing projectile motion with no air resistance.
Conservation of Energy | Circus Physics | Classroom | Circus The aerial acrobatics of the Russian Barre routine require exquisite balance, timing, and years of training. That's not enough though; conservation of energy plays a big role as well. At the top of the jump, Anna's energy is entirely potential but as she falls, her energy turns kinetic. Landing on the bar, the energy changes form once more, stored as elastic energy in the bending bar. Watch the Video Questions to Consider While Watching the Video What forms of energy do you see? Digging Deeper As Anna jumps and lands on the bar, her energy changes forms multiple times, but notice that her total energy, the bar on the right, never changes. At the top of the jump, Anna's energy is entirely in the form of gravitational potential energy, P. P = mgh As she begins to fall back down, her velocity increases as her height decreases. K = ½mv² When Anna lands on the bar, her kinetic energy is transferred to bending the bar, and now takes the form of elastic energy, U. U = ½kd² Your Turn g x h = ½ x v²

Physics Animations by Dr. Michael R. Gallis Penn State Schuylkillmrg3@psu.edu Select a category from the menu at left to browse the catalogue of animations by category. Most animations are 512 by 384 pixel avi files and are generally several megabytes long. Small screenshots are provided, and the user may view the animation in three ways: direct link to the media file, and two versions of a link to a page with the animation embeded in a web page with a brief comment on the animation. Project Page The animations project has its very own YouTube Channel. CWIS Portal to the Animations. A blog has been created to discuss the creation of the animations. -=Papers and Presentations=- Artificial Video for Video Analysis, MichaelR. 3-D Animations for Introductory Electromagnetism, MichaelR.

Global Climate Change Is the global climate changing? Is the world getting warmer? If you look at the graph below of global temperature changes over the past 150 years, the answer would have to be yes. But what if we look at the past 1,000 years, 100,000 years, or more? And why should YOU care if indeed our world is getting warmer? The full story is very complicated. We invite you to actively investigate for yourself the facts, concepts, and theories. We hope you can join us in this important mission of learning, understanding, and acting! What do we know about the Earth's climate in the past? Let's start by examining Global Temperature History… How do we know what the temperature of the Earth was like thousands and millions of years ago when there were no thermometers? We can estimate temperature by other means. What determines global temperature? The Earth is heated by the Sun. So why does global temperature change? Are there other factors that affect global temperature? What do people have to do with this?
