Galilean relativity

Description:

Physics is a constantly developing science. During its evolution, many things have changed, such as the problems to be addressed and the tools created to solve them. One thing, however, has remained unchanged: the method of investigation based on experimentation, of which Galileo laid the foundations. By performing simple experiments, this teaching unit can help the teacher demonstrate how Galileo's principle of relativity was used by Newton in formulating the laws of mechanics.
The topics covered are: When reference changes, Galileo's transformations, The invariant quantities, The position of an object, The length of a segment, Velocity, Acceleration, Force, Momentum, Kinetic energy, The invariance of mechanical laws, The first law of dynamics, The second law of dynamics, The principle of conservation of momentum, Conservation of momentum and Galileo's relativity, The principle of conservation of kinetic energy, Conservation of kinetic energy and Galileo's relativity, Pendulum oscillations and Galileo's relativity, Crisis of Galileo's relativity.
Inside the kit you will find: 1 rail, 2 trolleys, 1 rod with ball, 1 rod holder with ball, 1 distance sensor, 1 hank of cord, 1 wedge, 1 base, 1 clamp, 1 ball with hook, 1 rod with hook, 1 linear rule, 1 5g weight with hook, 1 metal rod, 1 pulley with rod, 3 10g weights
