Peer reviewedFischer, Fred; Wild, R. L. – American Journal of Physics, 1979
Describes a simple demonstration that shows the change in molecular density and the reduction in pressure of air in a centrifugal field. Uses two circular disks with the same radius and rotating with the same angular velocity, in loose mutual contact, around their symmetry axis. (GA)

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)

Johnson, Roger Charles – 1972
The primary purpose of this study was to determine if self-instructional data analysis sessions could be used effectively as traditional college laboratories to reinforce students' understanding of certain principles of mechanics. The secondary purpose was to determine whether any of the 140 college physics students involved had a dependence on…
