Elastic Potential Energy
Teaching notes with interactive examples and clear graphics. Links to other areas of mechanics.
Hooke's Law
Clear animation of oscillating spring. Can calculate spring constant and elastic limit from the graph.
2D Collisions
This activity lets you deal with 2D elastic/inelastic collisions on a flat (or tilted) table and even use magnetic pucks! Subscription required but with 30 day free trial.
Polarization
This page explain what polarisation is, and how light can be polarised using filters, reflection, refraction or scattering.
Hooke's Law
The site give notes on Hooke's law and the effects caused when a string exceed its elastic limits. And using young's Modulus to determine how much a wire is stretch when a mass is hang.
The Flea, the Catapult, and the Bow
How fleas and catapults and other similar devices and animals use elastic energy storage devices to convert slow muscle energy into faster kinetic energy.
Why the sky is blue
A brief and detailed explanation of why the sky is blue, touching on Rayleigh scattering, the wavelength of light and how our eyes work.
