Resonance amplitude

Frames of reference

This means that in the freely-falling elevator cabin you don’t feel any effects of gravity! You and all objects around you experience the same acceleration. In outer space you can imitate the effect of gravity by acceleration.

Newton’s First Law Second Law Third Law

Kinematics is given, you can find If and

Work Energy Theorem

does NOT depend on path!

Mechanical energy is conserved!

Conservation of Momentum If the collision is perfectly elastic, the kinetic energy is conserved!

Circular Motion y x

Conservation of Angular Momentum For symmetrical objects rotating about their axis of symmetry: Second Law: m1 m2 R

Harmonic Motion Resonance:
