Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

Consider the rotor of a gyroscope. The rotor is attached to a frame that is rotating about a fixed vertical axes with a constant rate of ω 1, and with the rotor rotating relative to that frame at a ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...
