Workshop Abstracts
The DC Motor Ed
Lee, Education Program Manager, American Physical Society
Participants will disassemble a dc motor, mount the rotor, get it spinning
with a magnet, and then perform experiments to investigate the physics
of how the motor works. Each participant will receive a motor and related
materials.
The Physics of Baseball Porter Johnson, Professor of Physics, Illinois
Institute of Technology
Baseball, our
national game, is explored from the viewpoint of the basic physical principles
involved. Questions such as why lighter bats are in vogue,
why Denver, Colorado, is a home run mecca, and why pitching seems to
be stronger in the World Series are considered from the viewpoint of physics. In
addition, the impact of advances in technology on baseball is examined. Several
hands-on exercises will be used for illustration.
