In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to plot the position versus time graph for a swinging pendulum. They will determine the period of the motion and model the position data using a cosine function.

In this lesson, students make observations about the motion of a boat going up and down the river. They will solve the system of equations algebraically and graphically.

Students can use a CBR 2 motion detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.

A handy resource that gives an overview of equations and definitions pertinent to an introductory, college-level physics course, with two of its three sections focusing on motion-related topics and principles.

In this activity, students' use a force sensor and a motion detector to collect force and acceleration data for an object moving up and down hanging from a spring. They use the data to test Newton's second law, and to estimate the mass...

In this activity, students create a situation that produces linear behavior by stepping heel to toe and taking distance readings as each step is taken. Students then apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for motion.

In this activity, students take distance readings as they walk in front of a CBR. They apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for the motion and interpret the values used in the model. Students learn to graph...

In this activity, Students can use a motion detector to record the position and velocity of a swinging pendulum. They will plot the data as a velocity versus position phase plot and determine an ellipse that fits it.

Shows how simple harmonic motion is used in a circuit comprised of an inductor and a capacitor. Includes detailed formula derivation utilizing calculus.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to record the distance versus time data for the simple motion of a walker. They will calculate velocity from this graph and compare it with the velocity graph generated by the...
