HyperPhysics site with dealing with the mathematics of rocket flight. The site is interactive and allows the user to input data. This is a rather high level site and, while any student could use it to get answers, to understand some of...

A tutorial with accompanying animations on classical mechanics. Well-illustrated. Good navigation.

Words and equations are used to explain the relationship between angular acceleration and the torque exerted upon an object. Well-written; great graphics.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The following tutorial helps students to understand how to apply Newton's Second Law under equilibrium conditions in two dimensions.

This lesson in high school physics on Newton's Second Law of Motion provides a discussion of free fall and air resistance, and answers, "Why do objects which encounter air resistance ultimately reach a terminal velocity?" and "In...

Instructions for a science demonstration of Newton's first law of motion using common supplies. Learn how to turn the demonstration into an experiment.

Investigate Newton's first law of motion using just a set of wood blocks.

This presentation explains why a poorly defined system can lead to incorrect answers in physics problems.

This presentation explains why an object remains at rest, despite the fact that the particles within the object are in motion.

Explains the concept of heat transfer and describes conduction, convection, and radiation which are the three modes of heat transfer. Includes formulas, examples, and applications.

In this activity learners use a homemade circular motion machine to investigate the variables that affect circular motion. The students then graph their data in order to find mathematical relationships between the variables they have...

In this physics tutorial, the law of momentum conservation will be combined with the use of a momentum table and some algebra skills to solve problems involving collisions occurring in isolated systems.

Do you know how gravity affects you? This module defines gravity and explains how gravity affects the motion of objects.

This digital textbook covers core physics concepts and includes interactive features, real world examples, videos, and study guides.

An interactive Java applet where users can rotate a vector about its tail and view the components of that vector. Magnitude of the components is updated on screen as the vector is dragged.

Students explore angular momentum and conservation. Some topics examined in the activities are angular momentum, torque, and conservation. The resource consists of video clips, lecture notes, practice problems, and exam questions....

A series of graphics, downloadable animations and text describe and explain the motion of a pendulum. Some sections require an understanding of calculus.

This activity will test a student's understanding of the relationships between location and motion as pertaining to time.

In this activity, students' will create a Height-Time plot for a bouncing ball. They will examine how the ball's height changes mathematically from one bounce to the next.

In this activity, students use a 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.

In this activity, students will construct a pendulum and create a motion plot for a swinging pendulum. They will also identify characteristics that affect a pendulum's motion.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to determine what effect the speed at which a person moves has on the appearance of the distance versus time plot.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to observe the effect of speeding up, slowing down, and moving at a constant rate on a Distance versus Time plot.

In this activity, students will create constant-speed motion plots and develop linear equations to describe them mathematically.
