We return once more to the land of the lost and weary traveller that is Dingleberry, a curious place of indeterminate location, populated entirely by people who wish they were somewhere else but are unable [more…]
Part two, How To Drive a (Model) Train Welcome back to the sleepy town of Dingleberry, “somewhere” on the UK rail network, a destination found only by the terminally lost and those who were foolish [more…]
It isn’t my fault, honest, you may recall a certain nameless puffin of this parish who has a thing for shunting and the associated models who some time ago started to make a small model [more…]
In previous parts we have covered the basics of Newtonian mechanics, there is a lot more here but the basics provide enough to at least start to use this sort of stuff. So lets have [more…]
In the last part we covered a little bit about the earth and the moon, we have established there should be a common centre of rotation as both rotate around this common centre. If our [more…]
If you pick something up and lift it, this takes effort, if you let go it will fall, but why? We know objects, such as leopards, have a mass (m) as a fundamental property, we [more…]
In part four we covered the basic principles of constant rotational acceleration, moment of inertia and related topics, in this part we will take this and demonstrate what this means. When we looked at constant [more…]
In previous parts we have considered and described linear motion and constant linear acceleration. We will now expand upon this a little and consider how the same principles apply to rotation. Again firstly we will [more…]
As promised in part two we will now construct an experiment to demonstrate acceleration under gravity, show how vectors can be “resolved” into a 2 dimensional plane (3 three dimensional if you fancy the extra [more…]
