The discipline is devoted to students of physics teaching This lecture is designet to provide insight into mechanics by set of demonstration experiments which can be done at home laboratory using common toys household and hobby materials.
Syllabus
  • 1. Newton`s laws, (water rocket, air rocket. pinq-pong ball cannon) 2.Gyroscopes, (gyroscope with counterweights, precession, gyroscope on rope, steering a bicycle, monorail car) 3. Corriolis force, (vessel for Coriolis demo, cyclone and anticyclone model) 4. Hydrodynamics, (viscosity, laminar and turbulent flow, smoke rings using PET bottle, lawn sprinkler and Feynman inverse sprinkler) 5. Bernoulli`s principle (ball suspended above and in PET bottle funnel, a ping pong ball suspended in the tilted air stream, flow in bent pipe, vacuum cannon) 6. Compressibility of fluids (breaking a bottle by water) 7. Static and dynamic stability (stability of hull, stability in flight, steering bicycle) 8. Vibrations and mechanical waves (function of stringed instrument - vibration excitation, Chladni figures) 9. Gyroscope, quantitative measurements - the precession frequency as a function of the torque and the angular velocity of the gyroscope.
