There is an interesting thing in teaching of Classical Mechanics. Several theorems which presented below form a core part of kinematics for all Russian…
Presenting a Rare Kinematic Formula
Here we present some useful kinematic fact which is uncommon for textbooks in mechanics.
Consider a convex rigid body (RB) rolling without slipping…
What is relativistic mass and why it is not used much?
It happens that the term relativistic mass is used, in particular in the introductory text on special relativity. It should be noted that whether or not…
Frequently Made Errors in Mechanics: Kinematics
