Difference of Squares Identity01:30

Difference of Squares Identity

The difference of squares is an algebraic pattern that can be understood geometrically as well as numerically. Consider a square plaza with a side length of x. Inside one corner is a smaller square section of greenery with a side length of y. The paved portion of the plaza is the area of the larger square minus the area occupied by the smaller square. This produces an L-shaped region whose area represents the difference between two squared quantities.The same L-shaped area can be measured in...
Statistical Significance01:37

Statistical Significance

Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...
Chi-square Distribution01:10

Chi-square Distribution

How does one determine if bingo numbers are evenly distributed or if some numbers occurred with a greater frequency? Or if the types of movies people preferred were different across different age groups or if a coffee machine dispensed approximately the same amount of coffee each time. These questions can be addressed by conducting a hypothesis test. One distribution that can be used to find answers to such questions is known as the chi-square distribution. The chi-square distribution has...
Moments of Inertia for an Area about Inclined Axes01:18

Moments of Inertia for an Area about Inclined Axes

In physics and engineering, understanding the moments of inertia for a given area with asymmetrical mass distribution is critical for proper design and analysis. When considering an arbitrary coordinate system, the moments of inertia can be obtained by integrating the moment of inertia for an infinitesimal area element.
Parallel-axis Theorem01:06

Parallel-axis Theorem

The parallel-axis theorem provides a convenient and quick method of finding the moment of inertia of an object about an axis parallel to the axis passing through its center of mass. Consider a thin rod as an example. There is a striking similarity between the process of finding the moment of inertia of a thin rod about an axis through its middle, where the center of mass lies, and about an axis through its end using the conventional method. In the conventional method, the concept of linear mass...
Perpendicular-Axis Theorem01:16

Perpendicular-Axis Theorem

The perpendicular-axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a planar object about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia about two mutually perpendicular concurrent axes lying in the plane of the body.
Consider a circular disc of mass M and radius R lying along an x-y plane. The origin lies at the center of the disc, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the disc's plane. All three axes coincide at the disc's center. The moment of inertia of this...
