Refreshed with an understanding of the six simple machines; screw, wedge, pully, incline plane, wheel and axle, and lever, student groups receive materials and an allotted amount of time to act as mechanical engineers to design and create machines that can complete specified tasks. For the competition, they choose from pre-determined goal options such as: 1) dumping goldfish into a bowl, 2) popping a balloon, or 3) dropping mint candies into soda pop (creating a fizzy reaction). Students demonstrate their functioning contraptions to the class, earning points for using all six simple machines, successful transitions from one chain reaction to the next, and completion of the end goal.

Paul Andersen explains how standing waves are created through the reflection and interference of traveling waves. Destructive interference creates areas of no movement called nodes. Constructive interference creates areas of maximum movement called antinodes.

Statica is de leer van mechanisch evenwicht.
Een lichaam beweegt niet (of is in een éénparige rechtlijnige beweging) als de som van de krachten die op dat lichaam werken nul is. Als ook de som van de momenten die op dat lichaam werken nul is, dan roteert het lichaam ook niet. De consequentie van deze twee evenwichtsvoorwaarden (som van krachten =0 en som van momenten =0), is dat voor een lichaam waarop een aantal bekende krachten werken de (onbekende) reactiekrachten bepaald kunnen worden . Dit is van groot belang omdat de grootte van de reactiekrachten de dimensionering en materiaalkeuze van toe te passen componenten bepalen. Binnen het vak “Statica” wordt in detail ingegaan op de verschillende mechanische belastingen, vaak voorkomende constructies en hoe te rekenen met de diverse belastingen.

Statics deals with the principles of equilibrium. In this course the principles of forces and moments will be explained as well as principle of equilibrium of forces and moments. This also includes the equilibrium of 2D and 3D structures and trusses. Furthermore the principle of internal forces and moments is addressed as well as the use of the principle of virtual work to calculate both external and internal loads. Finally, the concepts of centre of gravity, centroids and moments of inertia are discussed

The video resource "Statics: Crash Course Physics #13" is included in the "Sociology" course from the resources series of "Crash Course". Crash Course is a educational video series from John and Hank Green.

In the first video segment, we describe the fundamental postulate of statistical mechanics. The direct product notation we introduce in the second segment helps us to discuss the states available to a collection of many parts, which helps us, in turn, to derive the Boltzmann factor in the third segment. The fourth video segment explains how the Boltzmann factor helps us to calculate average properties for systems in thermal contact with large baths and introduces entropy (Greek letter sigma), free energy (F), and the partition function (Z).

Students will encounter the concept of a distribution, along with parameters that describe a distribution's "typical" values (average) and a distribution's spread (variance). To understand simple distributions and uncertainty propagation in the coming sections, it is necessary to be familiar with the concept of statistical independence. When two variables fluctuate independently, their covariance vanishes, and the variance of their sum is the sum of their variances.

Paul Andersen explains how stimulated emission can be used to create coherent light. When an atom absorbs a photon it moves to a higher energy level through stimulated absorption. It may then release a photon and moves to a lower energy level through spontaneous emission.

Even when we model the dynamics of the abundances of molecules inside biological systems using calculus, it is important to remember that underlying behavior can be apparently random ("stochastic"). Even a deterministic system containing components moving in periodic ways can, at early times, support dynamics that appear disordered. The behavior of systems containing complicated collections of interacting parts can be difficult to predict with accuracy (chaos). Finally, systems can display stochasticity because the outcomes of measurements on quantum systems are indeterminate in a fundamental way. Random processes are modeled using Markov models.

Students engineer a working pair of shin guards for soccer or similar contact sport from everyday materials. Since many factors go into the design of a shin guard, students follow the Engineering Design Process to create a prototype. Along the way, students keep a notebook documenting each stage of the process and reflect on what their learned during the design.

Students are introduced to the concepts of stress and strain with examples that illustrate the characteristics and importance of these forces in our everyday lives. They explore the factors that affect stress, why engineers need to know about it, and the ways engineers describe the strength of materials. In an associated literacy activity, while learning about the stages of group formation, group dynamics and team member roles, students discover how collective action can alleviate personal feelings of stress and tension.

Is String Theory the final solution for all of physic's questions or an overhyped dead end? The video "String Theory Explained - What is The True Nature of Reality?" is a resource included in the Physics topic made available from the Kurzgesagt open educational resource series.

Paul Andersen explains how the strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together in spite of repulsive electrostatic charges acting on the nucleons. Mesons exchanged between nucleons keep the nucleus intact and gluons exchanged between the quarks achieve the same goal within the nucleons.

The purpose of the first part of this video is to introduce the idea of summation and its notation using the Greek-letter Sigma. We practice working with sums by using Gauss's summation trick. In the second part of the video, we study examples of infinite series, one which converges to a finite number (geometric series), and one which diverges (harmonic series).

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate rotational inertia, rotational speed, angular momentum, and velocity. Students build at least two simple spinners to conduct experiments with different mass distributions and shapes, as they strive to design and build the spinner that spins the longest.
