This program covers the important topic of conservation of energy (part 1) in simple harmonic motion in Physics. We begin by discussing how in a perfect system energy is neither created nor destroyed. As the object swings, the energy is continually transferred from kinetic to potential forms and vice versa. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis...

So far, you’ve seen how to calculate the sine, cosine, and tangents of basic angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°). What about calculating them for other angles—without a calculator? You’ll use the Pythagorean theorem to come up with formulas for sums and differences of the trig identities, which then allow you to calculate them for other angles.
