Hi physics lovers! here is a wonderful skate park physics simulation from those wonderful people at the PhET Simulations

Click on the picture below to run the simulation or better still download the simulation from here

Click to Run

Here is an excellent simulation on landing the Lunar Module. You need to know about forces diagrams. it also helps you to understand unbalanced forces. Go on! Click the image and try out the game.

Hi Physics lovers if you did not get your third Higher Assignment please download it here.

Higher Physics Assignment 03

Hi Physics lovers.
Here are the links to the two little movies you watched in class today.
I have included three more for you to watch and study.

Eureka Episode 1
Eureka Episode 2
Eureka Episode 3
Eureka Episode 4
Eureka Episode 5

Have a look at this projectile movie.

Hi physics lovers! Here is a projectile movie made in class last year.

It shows that the horizontal motion of the projectile is independent of the vertical motion.

In other words, if a machine ejects a ball with a horizontal velocity while at the same time dropping another ball then both balls will take the same time to hit the ground!

No matter how fast the horizontally moving ball moves away it will still strike the ground at the same time as a ball dropped at the same time and at the same height.

PhET Projectile Experiment.

Use the PhET simulation sheet, there is a link below, to experiment with the cannon.

Download experiment sheet here
Link to PhET projectile site where you can download the virtual experiment or press run to have it on a bigger screen.

Hi Higher physicists. Find below your second assignment. If you can you cam print it out and hand it in on Tuesday.

Higher Physics Assignment 02

Higher Physics Assignment 01

Hi physics lovers!
Exam results have arrived. If your results were good congratulations. If they were not as expected or just what you thought you would get then never mind. Just make sure you put in the effort next time.

For help you can use the phone number above to call the Exam helpline.

If you were a member of my Higher Physics class then let me know how you got on my logging into Edmodo. I cannot get to the school because of the International Children`s Games.

All the best.

This is a wonderful movie showing how a simple set up of pendulums can create a beautiful pattern of swings.

Some questions to think about:

1. How do you measure the period of a pendulum`s swing?
2. What is the period of the pendulum at the front?
3. What is the period of the pendulum at the back?
