Descriptors: College Mathematics, College Science, Higher Education, Instruction
Peer reviewedLuke, Keung L. – American Journal of Physics, 1975
Describes an experiment for the undergraduate electricity and magnetism or mechanics laboratory to investigate free and driven oscillations. The RLC circuit is pulsed with a pulse generator when free oscillation is being studied and is driven with a low-impedance sinusoidal generator when driven oscillation is being studied. (Author/MLH)

Peer reviewedKarioris, Frank G. – American Journal of Physics, 1978
Explains the inertia ball demonstration qualitatively. For the advanced level the demonstration is treated as a forced harmonic oscillator and the results verified analytically. Computer-generated graphs show that with a rapid pull, the upper cord may break, or the upper and lower cords may break simultaneously. (Author/GA)
