Galileo's Inclined Planes This post is based on the maths and ideas of Hahn's Calculus in Context - which is probably the best mathematics book I've read in 20 years of studying and teaching mathematics. Highly recommended for both students and teachers! Hahn talks us though the mathematics, experiments and thought process of Galileo as... Continue Reading →
Time dependent gravity and cosmology! In our universe we have a gravitational constant - i.e gravity is not dependent on time. If gravity changed with respect to time then the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on Earth would lessen (or increase) over time with all other factors remaining the same. Interestingly time-dependent gravity was... Continue Reading →
Projectile Motion III: Varying gravity We can also do some interesting things with projectile motion if we vary the gravitational pull when we look at projectile motion. The following graphs are all plotted in parametric form. Here t is the parameter, v is the initial velocity which we will keep constant, theta is the angle... Continue Reading →
