Random Application Links

A collection of random videos, links, and simulations on differential equation applications are below. These are random clips that I found through searching the internet for visualizations of differential equation applications. I do not vouch for the security of these sites or content on these sites, these are just random videos I found through a quick search. Please let me know if you find anything unusual/incorrect about these videos (in which case I will remove them). If you find better videos let me know. I hope to make some of my own videos of similar experiments to add to this library (but I am not doing the skydiving!).

Skydiving video Explains/illustrates air resistance and terminal velocity (before and after parachute opens) An article discussing Newton's law of cooling It is a more detail discussion with various models (and with experiemental data) Short descriptions and visualization of bouyancy Illustrations of path of a rocket at various velocities shows orbital and escape velocity Discussion of Torricelli's Law how a liquid flows out from a small hole in a container Interactive Mass-Spring Animation Pictures, animations and descriptions of RLC circuit Picture of a variable capacitor use to adjustance capacitance in order to get a particular (resonant) frequency
