[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.

Students must predict the distance a box will move up an incline based on energy conservation. There will be friction present and some of the original KE will turn into heat.

Students must predict the distance traveled by a person on a sled. The person will start with potential energy due to gravity and then lose some energy on a hill. They will then lose the remaining energy on a level surface. You have to...

Learners learn the relationship between the electric and magnetic fields. Specifically, they verify that a magnetic field is created in a current carrying coil of wire and a changing magnetic field can induce a current in another coil of...

In this interactive physics tutorial, students will take a more qualitative approach to some collision problems. The questions provide a real test of conceptual understanding of momentum conservation in collisions.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about projectile motion and its relevance to the shape of a stream of water.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Practice with the concepts of conservation of momentum and energy by analyzing a special case of the ballistic pendulum.

Is it scientifically possible to fly? In this series, creator Joy Lin tackles six superpowers and reveals just how scientifically realistic they can be to us mere mortals. [5:11]

Students learn about the Newtonian mechanics principle of conservation of angular momentum and the application in the quantum mechanical world.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to draw a velocity-time graph and what it represents.

Students explore different situations where two side-by-side carts on a low-friction track push away from each other and travel in opposite directions. The goal is to investigate the effects on the relative mass.

Tom Richey offers a thorough slideshow incorporatin Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion while reviewing the historic details of the Counter-Reformation. Find out who disagreed with the Reformation movement.

How old would you be on Mars? Venus? Have fun plugging in your birthdate to see your age on other planets then read scroll down for a full explanation.

This digital textbook covers core physical science concepts and includes interactive features, real world examples, and videos.

In this interactive tutorial, analyze two-body problems in which the objects are moving in different directions.

In this activity, students can use the motion detector to record motion, and observe how the direction of movement, speed of travel, and the rate of change of direction and speed affect the shape of a distance-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.

Egg drop competition is a popular activity to reinforce the lessons in force and motion. In the activity, the students are asked to design a vehicle to carry the egg safely when dropped from a height of 10 feet (about 3 m) or more....

In this activity students will learn how to make a simple pendulum. Students' will use a motion detector to measure the period of a pendulum and calculate its acceleration.They will also understand the effect that gravity has on the...

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

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.
