As part of this activity, students learn about geologic processes on Earth in order to interpret surface features recently seen on Europa by NASA's Galileo spacecraft. Materials presented here include a vocabulary list, geology jigsaw puzzle, review questions, and links to related sites.
8.962 is MIT's graduate course in general relativity, which covers the basic principles of Einstein's general theory of relativity, differential geometry, experimental tests of general relativity, black holes, and cosmology.
This course will survey physics concepts and their respective applications; it is intended as a basic introduction to the current physical understanding of our universe. In this course, the student will study physics from the ground up, learning the basic principles of physical law, their application to the behavior of objects, and the use of the scientific method in driving advances in this knowledge. This course focuses on Newtonian mechanics--how objects move and interact--rather than Electromagnetism or Quantum Mechanics. While mathematics is the language of physics, the student need only be familiar with high school-level algebra, geometry, and trigonometry; the small amount of additional math needed will be developed during the course.

la matière noire est une forme de matière non lumineuse détectée par son interaction gravitationnelle. L'énergie sombre est une forme d'énergie qui semble conduire à l'expansion accélérée de l'Univers, dont la nature précise reste une énigme majeure pour la physique et la cosmologie contemporaines. Ces deux composants sont cruciaux pour comprendre la dynamique, la structure et l'évolution de l'Univers, mais ils sont encore largement mal compris et font l'objet de recherches intensives dans le domaine de l'astrophysique et de la cosmologie.Un cours "matière noire et l'énergie sombre" pourrait être une exploration passionnante des mystères les plus intrigants de l'Univers moderne. Il aborderait les concepts fondamentaux, les observations astrophysiques et les théories actuelles qui tentent de comprendre deux des composants les plus énigmatiques de l'Univers.
In this activity, students compute the strengths of the gravitational forces exerted on the Moon by the Sun and by the Earth, and demonstrate the actual shape of the Moon's orbit around the Sun. The lesson begins with students' assumptions about the motions of the Moon about the Earth and the Earth about the Sun, and then test their understanding using an experimental apparatus made from a cardboard or plywood disk and rope. This resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.
Build your own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet. With this orbit simulator, you can set initial positions, velocities, and masses of 2, 3, or 4 bodies, and then see them orbit each other.
Continuation of Physics 1. Topics include: simple harmonic motion, gravitation, fluid mechanics, waves, the kinetic theory of gases, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. This course is a calculus-based physics course that is required by four-year colleges in science and engineering studies.
These lecture videos were made during the pandemic when most classes went online. They cover most of Physics-1, and a few chapters of physics-2. Subject: Physics Level: Community CollegeMaterial Type: LectureAuthor: Khalid BukhariDate Added: 2/19/2024
