Students strengthen their communication skills by first learning the meaning of base units and derived units. Then, working in groups, students measure the time for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots and calculate the robots' average speeds at...

Learn what centripetal acceleration means and how to calculate it. Included are two example problems with solutions.

The derivation of the Boltzmann distribution in detail. Shows calculations and graphs, with links to animations and video to further explain.

A collection of calculators to find the average speed, time, or distance depending on the variables given.

This activity explores a parachutist and her position, velocity and acceleration. Graphing and calculating these functions will be required.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How motion and speed can be represented by a distance-time graph and how average speed can be calculated from it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Calculate distances, rates and times by using formulas

A learning module where students gain an understanding of the relationships between the different kinds of motion. Students will be able to explain free-fall motion and use kinematics equations to calculate problems involving falling...

An activity in which average speed is calculated for a ball sliding along an inclined plane. This speed is compared to various instantaneous speeds along the incline.

Students must show they are able to find the components of a velocity vector and that they can calculate the velocity vector from the components. Students must be able to get 5 in a row correct to receive credit for this assignment.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define acoustic impedance and intensity reflection coefficient, describe medical and other uses of ultrasound technology, calculate acoustic impedance using density values and the speed of...

This program gives students a visual representation of why an object moving in a circle at constant speed is accelerating. This program will guide students through a method of calculating the circular acceleration based on the change in...
