(His Lecture Site: http://physics1.harvard.edu/)Acceleration: Free fall under vacuum
Inertia:Eggs on plate.
Inertia: Table Setting.
Force and Pressure: Bed of nails.
Moving Reference Frames: Who's upside down?
Moving Reference Frames: Who's moving?
Moving Reference Frames: Acceleration vs. Velocity. (See how the level of the liquid tilts in this (noninertial) accelerated frame.)
Conservation of Energy: Scrambled eggs? (Like the Nose Basher)
Impulse: Dropping eggs (hard) and Dropping eggs (soft)
Impulse: Karate Dave
Motion in a Plane: Parabolic trajectory (3 Versions: Ball on a moving cart is dropped; Ball projected vertically from a horizontally moving cart: Shoot the Target)
Motion in a circle: Curve Ball (Ball is tossed between two people on a merry-go-round)
Motion in a circle: Rotational inertia
Torque: Rotational Inertia of extended objects.
Center-of-mass motion.
Torques on rotating objects.
Precession.
Gyro suitcase.
A wine glass driven at its natural frequency
Pulse propagation and Superposition (constructive and destructive interference)
