Welcome to the activities page! Here you’ll find interactive and hands-on exercises to deepen your understanding of modern classical mechanics.

Sample Activity: Pendulum Lab#

  • Objective: Explore the motion of a simple pendulum and measure its period.

  • Materials: String, weight, stopwatch, ruler.

  • Instructions:

    1. Set up a pendulum of known length.

    2. Displace it by a small angle and release.

    3. Measure the time for 10 oscillations.

    4. Calculate the period and compare with theory.

Tip: Try different lengths and plot period vs. length!

Sample Activity: Energy Skate Park (PhET)#

  • Objective: Investigate conservation of energy using a virtual skate park.

  • Link: PhET Energy Skate Park

  • Instructions:

    1. Open the simulation and build a track.

    2. Observe kinetic and potential energy as the skater moves.

    3. Experiment with friction and track shapes.
