PRINCIPLES AND LAWS OF MOTION

Our world is full of movement, but have you ever stopped to think about how such movement is possible? This Australian-made, curriculum fit program identifies the forces and laws associated with motion and how we can calculate it. Key elements such as force, Newton's law of motion, projectile motion and circular motion are explored from the perspective of a moving car to the movement of balls on a pool table. This unique way of seeing the laws of motion in action is informative as well as entertaining and will enhance the understanding of movement with real world situations and scenarios.

    PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS 2: SOUND, MAGNETISM, ELECTRICITY AND RADIOACTIVITY

    Physics is a science that describes how things work. Almost everything around us can be explained in terms of the principles of physics. With the use of practical demonstrations related to common activities, this program investigates some of the key concepts of physics. Using a drum kit we look at how sound works, how we make it, and how it gets around. We investigate electricity and electromagnetism and compare the similarities between a remote control car and a mobile phone charger. Finally, we take a look at radioactivity and discover a radioactive device that can be found in almost every family home.

    PHYSICS OF MEDICAL IMAGING, THE

    Medical imaging is a critical tool in the diagnosis of health conditions, and therefore in decisions about the most appropriate and effective treatment of patients. This technology has developed at a significant rate in recent decades, and is making possible a whole range of important advances in the way we look after people's health. Behind the technology of medical imagining are a number of important principles of physics, and it is this discipline which has underpinned the advances made in modern health care. This program looks in depth at four kinds of sensing used in medical imaging - Ultrasound, Electromagnetic waves including X-Rays and CAT scans, radioactivity, such as PET or Positron Emission Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI, which uses electromagnetism.

    PHYSICS OF SPACE FLIGHT PART I: ACCELERATION MACHINES LAUNCHING A SPACE VEHICLE

    The Physics of Space Flight Series is a three-part video program which presents physics principles as they apply to space flight and space related events. The program's photography was provided entirely by NASA, affording a great deal of spectacular footage accompanying the physics principles being illustrated. Computer animation and the use of graphics also assist in presenting physical concepts. The program was designed for use by high school physics classes and introductory level college physics courses.

    Part I: Acceleration Machines Launching a Space Vehicle

    Concepts Covered: Newton's Laws of Motion, Kinematics, Conservation of Energy & Momentum, Power, Aerodynamic Effects

    This program details the physics involved in launching a space vehicle. The Space Shuttle and Saturn V launches are dynamically examined in terms of the vehicle's thrust, changing weight, net force, acceleration, and velocity throughout the initial stages of ascent and injection into orbit. The dynamics of launching a rocket from the earth's surface is contrasted to the lift-off of the Lunar Module from the surface of the moon. The rocket engine principle is discussed in terms of Newton's Third Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of Motion, expressed in terms of momentum, is used to find the magnitude of thrust produced by a single Space Shuttle main engine. Launch trajectories and the effect of the earth's rotation on launching a rocket into orbit are also explained.

The program's photography was provided entirely by NASA, affording a great deal of spectacular footage accompanying the physics principles being illustrated. Computer animation and the use of graphics also assist in presenting physical concepts. The program was designed for use by high school physics classes and introductory level college physics courses.

    Part II: Physics in Space Orbital Motion & Re-entry

    Concepts Covered: Newton's Laws of Motion, Circular Motion, Rotational Dynamics, Heat, Conservation of Energy

    This program focuses on the physics of orbital motion and re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. The program discusses the dynamics of orbital motion and the apparent weightlessness experienced while in orbit. Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion are applied to satellites, explaining the characteristics of both circular and elliptical orbits. Orbital motion of the Space Shuttle is studied in terms of the acting gravitational centripetal force, orbital radius, and orbital velocity. Satellite deployment from the Space Shuttle and subsequent attainment of geosynchronous orbit is also examined. The weightless environment provides a unique opportunity for motion studies in which Newton's Three Laws of Motion become particularly apparent. Heat transfer in the vacuum of space and a discussion on thermal energy concludes the program as the atmospheric re-entry of the Space Shuttle is contrasted to that of the Apollo Command Module.

The program's photography was provided entirely by NASA, affording a great deal of spectacular footage accompanying the physics principles being illustrated. Computer animation and the use of graphics also assist in presenting physical concepts. The program was designed for use by high school physics classes and introductory level college physics courses.

    Part III: Gravity A Broadened View

    Concepts Covered: Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, Gravitational Acceleration, Newton's Laws of Motion, Fluid Mechanics

    This program centers on presenting a broadened perspective of gravity, with emphasis given to observing its influence in different environments. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is used to determine the magnitude of the earth's gravitational force at increasingly distant locations from its center; computer graphics are used to simulate pulling away from the earth with the inverse square curve graphically being developed. The microgravity environment is examined in terms of its effect on various physical properties and the unique mechanics it presents to orbiting space structures. Gravitational acceleration on the surface of the moon is contrasted to that of earth by observing experiments and events which took place during the moon walks of the Apollo Program. Finally, an examination of the Gravity Assist Principle, or "Slingshot Effect", provides an intriguing example of utilizing gravitational forces to greatly accelerate spacecraft on their journey to the outer solar system.
