Summary
Structure of Matter
A summary of a number of things related to forces can be seen on a ramp.
A good example of the transformation of energy between potential
and kinetic:
Projectile (PhET), and
another.
Notice: ‘component motion’ + energy! How are potential and
kinetic energy distributed over components?
Orbiting motion (or failure to reach it) is ‘an exercise’ in energy considerations:
Newton's cannon, and a mention of
Kepler's Laws.
Also: notice how things go around each other.
This will be a useful model for how electrical forces work –
it will help build an atomic model.
