3 years ago
77

The sixth episode of our deep dive into the material that is covered in AP physics classes. We now consider rotations, angular momentum, and spin (including a bit on quantum spin).

0:00 Introduction and review
4:25 Angular momentum
17:20 Similarities between linear and angular physics
10:00 An alternative formulation (Lagrangians)
28:50 Spin
35:00 Quick overview of upcoming material
38:50 Back to spin, with animations!
53:45 Cool experiment with spin

Covers chapter 10 of the text below and topic 7 for AP 1 and topic 5 for AP Mechanics.
