Wave motion is the most universal physical phenomenon, we discover the wave motion all around us. Mechanical waves—acoustic wave, water wave Electromagnetic waves—radio, light wave Matter waves—electron wave
All around us: wheels, skaters, ballet, gymnasts, helicopter, rotors, mobile engines, CD disks, … Atomic world: electrons— “spin”, “orbit”. Universe: planets spin and orbiting the sun, galaxies spin, …
Collisions: All around us (cars, buses) Grand astronomical scale (stars, galexies) Nuclear, atomic and molecular physics The impulse-momentum theorem relates the change in the momentum of a system to the total force on it and the time interval during which this total forces acts
