In this interactive physics tutorial, students investigate the relationships between two methods available to solve problems involving the numerical relationships between displacement, velocity, acceleration and time.

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for uniform circular motion, including centripetal acceleration and the difference between linear and angular velocity.

Take control of a virtual car and learn how vectors are used to represent velocity and acceleration in this interactive activity developed for Teachers' Domain.

Given descriptions, illustrations, graphs, charts, or equations, students will differentiate between speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Graphs and examples help explain what the vertical axis, slope, and area represent on a velocity-time graph.

Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration vectors by moving the ladybug. Set the position, velocity, or acceleration, and see how the vectors change.

Provides definitions, examples, and formulas for acceleration.

Explore the forces at work when you try to push a filing cabinet. Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time.

Explore illustrated examples and try some practice acceleration problems to better understand this vector quantity in physics.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between velocity and position for a swimmer. Adjust the velocity of the legs, streamline, and arms to experiment with the slope of velocity in the simulation swimmer. Dig a...

This project is an experiment in classical physics. You'll be following in Galileo's footsteps, and investigating Newton's laws of motion, but you'll be taking advantage of modern video recording technology to make your measurements. The...

Through an animated illustration of a dot diagram and time graphs, students learn about positive velocity and positive acceleration.

Enhance study of motion, velocity, acceleration, position and graphing with this interactive simulation.

Interactive notes with links to previous concepts, examples, and solutions.

In this activity, young scholars will use a plywood ramp and various tornado tubes (made from tornado tube connectors and 2 liter pop bottles) to calculate the average speed of the tornado tubes. They will set up 4 investigations filling...

The concept of air resistance is discussed in terms of why a heavier object falls faster than a lighter object when both dropped from the same height. In this discussion and animation, an elephant and feather are used as examples.

In this student-paced module, students apply Newton's Laws of Motion to everyday life, calculate mathematical relationships involving force and motion using algebraic formulas, and understand the difference between mass and weight.

This page offers a list of 50 problems/exercises to solve based on the content of Chapter 6: Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation from the AP Physics online text.

This is a list of 23 questions covering the major concepts of Chapter 6: Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation from the AP Physics online text.

Challenges students to get as many vehicle accelerations as possible in a 3 minute time frame. Students must push on the gas to accelerate their vehicle and then use the change in velocity and the change in time to get the acceleration...

The goal of this activity is to get students to think about what is happening when velocity and acceleration vectors point in different directions. The pictures, sentences, and cars used allow the students to picture each situation in...

An interactive simulation that teaches about motion, acceleration, and velocity by allowing students to build their own solar system and watch the effects of gravitational pull and how that changes with initial position, velocity, and...

By the end of this section, you will be able to identify and explain the properties of a projectile, such as acceleration due to gravity, range, maximum height, and trajectory; determine the location and velocity of a projectile at...
