THE MECHANICAL UNIVERSE SERIES (VHS) 1985. Each program 30 min. sd. color. #12650-12900

Program 1: Introduction to the Mechanical Universe #12650 This preview introduces the ideas of Copernicus through Newton, and links the physics of the heavens to that of the earth.

Program 2: The Law of Falling Bodies #12660 Galileo's imaginative experiments proved that all bodies fall with the same constant acceleration.

Program 3: Derivatives #12670 The derivative became a popular tool to determine the instantaneous speed and acceleration of a falling body.

Program 4: Inertia #12680 Galileo's law of inertia answered such questions as why objects fall to earth rather than hurtle off into space.

Program 5: Vectors #12690 Vectors, which describe quantities such as displacement and velocity, express the laws of physics in a way that is the same for all coordinate systems.

Program 6: Newton's Laws #12700 Isaac Newton laid down the laws for all the phenomena of the mechanical universe.

Program 7: Integration #12710 Newton and Leibniz arrive at the conclusion that differentiation and integration are inverse processes.

Program 8: The Apple and the Moon #12720 Newton's universal law of gravity reveals why an apple but not the moon falls to earth.

Program 9: Moving in Circles #12730 According to Plato, stars are heavenly beings that orbit the earth with uniform perfection uniform speed and perfect circles.

Program 10: The Fundamental Forces #12740 All physical phenomena of nature are explained by four forces: two nuclear forces, strong and weak, the force of gravity, and electricity.

Program 11: Gravity, Electricity, Magnetism #12750 The gravitational force between two masses, the electric force between two charges, and the magnetic force between two poles - all take essentially the same mathematical form.

Program 12: The Millikan Experiment #12760 Understanding the electric force on a charged droplet and viscosity, Robert Millikan measured the charge of a single electron.

Program 13: Conservation of Energy #12770 According to one of the major laws of physics, energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Program 14: Potential Energy #12780 Potential energy provides a clue for understanding why the world has worked the same way since the beginning of time.

Program 15: Conservation of Momentum #12790 Newton's laws embody the concept of conservation of momentum - the product of mass and velocity.

Program 16: Harmonic Motion #12800 The restoring force and inertia of any stable mechanical system cause objects to execute simple harmonic motion, a phenomenon that repeats itself in perfect time.

Program 17: Resonance #12810 Resonance explains why a swaying bridge collapses with a high wind, and how a wine glass shatters with a higher octave.

Program 18: Waves #12820 With an analysis of simple harmonic motion and a stroke of genius, Newton extended mechanics to the propagation of sound.

Program 19: Angular Momentum #12830 Angular momentum is a twist on momentum - the cross product of the radius vector and momentum.

Program 20: Torques and Gyroscopes #12840 When a torque acts on a spinning object, the angular momentum changes but the object only precesses, i.e. a spinning top doesn't topple.

Program 21: Kepler's Three Laws #12850 Kepler's three laws described the motion of heavenly bodies with unprecedented accuracy.

Program 22: The Kepler Problem #12860 The task of deducing all three of Kepler's laws from Newton's universal law of gravitation is known as the Kepler problem.

Program 23: Energy and Eccentricity #12870 Eccentricity, which determines the shape of an orbit, is intimately linked to the energy and angular momentum of the heavenly body in orbit.

Program 24: Navigating in Space #12880 The amount of energy expended in voyages to other planets can be minimized by using the same force that drives the planets around the solar system.

Program 25: From Kepler To Einstein #12890 The law of gravity leads to Einstein's general theory of relativity which leads to the black hole - and beyond.

Program 26: Harmony of the Spheres #12900 The music of the spheres.
