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 determine the power that is being exerted by a motor to pull a person up a frictionless incline.

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...

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.

As with collisions, this interactive physics tutorial shows students how momentum is conserved in explosions.

This lab was designed to have students practice the Atwood lab prior to doing it for real. Students can adjust the masses and the planet and then collect position vs. time data and velocity vs. time data.

Students must find out force normal on an object on an incline at the angle at which the object is first about to slip.

In this tutorial, examine the effect of forces acting at angles to the horizontal, such that the force has an influence in two dimensions- horizontally and vertically.

In this lesson we'll explore how we use fairly simple physics to draw particles which move according to the forces we feel in the real world (such as wind & gravity).

Review the key concepts and skills for inelastic collisions. Understand how to determine if a collision is elastic or inelastic.

Review how angular momentum is conserved if there is no external torque applied to a system. Specific scenarios are highlighted: system changing it rotational inertia, orbiting bodies, and rotational collisions.

An online exhibit investigating the sensations experienced by a cockpit pilot in a Russian aircraft. Focuses on G-forces and apparent weightlessness.

A physics definition of collisions with examples to illustrate the concept and related links to problems and solutions.

This site from the Illinois Institute of Technology provides a student lab activity in which the flight of a paper airplane is investigated and studied. Designed for primary grades, but easily adaptable for junior high students.

This lesson demonstrates how to use weight to determine the acceleration of an object. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Weight & Acceleration."

This calculator will find the missing variable in the physics equation for force (F = m * a), when two of the variables are known.

Use the TI-89 to find the area between curves, find arc length, and solve first and second order differential equations. Examples in the activity use calculator screenprints and keystroke instructions to demonstrate the use of the...

A biography highlighting the scientific achievements of Andre-Marie Ampere, who has been considered the "Newton of electricity."

Students explore the relative mass of two colliding objects, and determine if that can be used to quickly predict the post-collision speed of the objects? An activity sheet guides learners through the process of determining the rule for...

This lesson introduces the concept of inelastic collisions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to calculate average acceleration and the SI unit for acceleration.

This is an article published by the American Physical Society on friction in microscopic gears that results from the adhesion of molecules. A great exploration of this new obstacle in science.
