1E10. Moving Reference Frames

PIRA #	Demonstration Name	Abstract
1E10.10	Bulldozer on Moving Sheet (2D)	The bulldozer moves across a sheet which moves at half the speed of the bulldozer or at the same speed.
1E10.15	Moving Blackboard	Using a large movable reference frame on wheels and a walking student, equations of relative speed can be deduced by non-science majors.
1E10.20	Frames of Reference Film	The classic 1950s film is available on DVD, VHS and 16mm film. (Approx. 30min)

1E20. Rotating Reference Frames

PIRA #	Demonstration Name	Abstract
1E20.10	Foucault Pendulum	A ceiling mounted Foucault pendulum swings freely. Note the line along which the pendulum swings at the beginning of class. Later on, noting that the line is different highlights the fact that the Earth is rotating.

1E30.21	Walking on a Merry-Go-Round	Go to a merry-go-round or use a large rotating platform and walk on it. You will feel a very strange "force".
1E30.24	Spinning Coriolis Globe	A ball on a string is threaded through the pole of a globe. Set the globe spinning and pull on the string to see the ball move to higher latitudes.
1E30.26	Coriolis Dish and TV	A ball oscillates in a spherical dish at rest, and follows various curved paths when the dish is rotated at different speeds. A TV camera is mounted to the rotating frame.
1E30.27	Coriolis Rotating Platform and TV	A puck is launched on a rotating platform and the motion is followed with a TV camera.

1E30.30	Leaky Bucket on Turntable	A can with a hole is mounted above a rotating table. As the table turns, the stream of water is deflected. It leaves a trail on the turntable that can be analyzed after.
1E30.33	Coriolis Trajectory	Roll a ball across a slowly rotating turntable, and have the ball trace out its path, by rolling it through dust, or coating it in ink or something similar.
1E30.35	Rotating Water Flow Table	Food coloring used to mark flow is introduced at the edges of a circular rotating tank of water with a drain in the center. An overhead camera rotates with the tank to show the motion within the rotating frame.
