Neurolinguistics and Fundamental Physics
Table of Contents
Physics teaching equipment for High School and University levels
Designed to facilitate teaching of Newtonian classical mechanics
Allows among others:
- Collisions of all types: head on or grazing.
Collisions can be perfectly elastic, semi-elastic
or perfectly inelastic
- Study of energy and quantity of motion
- Study of linear and parabolic (balistic) acceleration
- Measure of gravitational attraction(g)
- Study of kinetic and potential energy
- Study of gravitational ellipses
- Study of oscilatory motion damped in viscous medium
- Demonstration of epicyclic trajectories of the Earth
and Moon about the Sun
