Alumni and Family Weekend Interactive Physics Demos
One of the highlights of the year, students, faculty and alumni participated in interactive physics demonstrations during the 3rd annual interactive physics demos for kids (and adults) on the Friday evening of Alumni Family Weekend. Clockwise, from top left: Experiments and demonstrations range from conservation of energy in collisions, electromagnetic motors, Bernoulli’s principle, energy of sound waves, and crowd favorite, conservation of angular momentum on a turntable.
