[Free Registration/Login Required] Watch this animation as an archer shoots at a target on an angle, and its horizontal and vertical paths and its velocity are explained. An interactive follows where you can manipulate the archer's...

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.

Manipulate variables while exploring principles and relationships related to moving in a circle at a constant speed. Students change the radius of the circle, the speed of the object, and the mass of the object and investigate the effect...

Conversion calculators galore! Convert just about anything from one measureable unit into another measureable unit here with over two dozen calculators. Each of the links is specific to a measureable quantity. Some examples include...

This app simulates circular movement and demonstrates how the position, speed, acceleration, and the applied force vary depending on the time. You may choose the option "slow animation" to make the movement ten times slower. You can also...

Students must find the time that it takes for the block to move across the table. This will involve an acceleration and a period of travel at a constant speed.

This lab is designed to allow students to explore different aspects of satellite motion. Students can vary the mass of the satellite, the orbital radius of the satellite and the body that the satellite is orbiting. Students can measure...

In this physics activity, students will simulate a race car on a circular track. Velocity, acceleration, and force vectors will be analyzed at various places along the track. As the students progress in the activity, prompts for student...

The mathematics associated with the motion of satellites is described. Equations (for period, velocity, acceleration and force) are stated, symbols described, and sample problems solved. Includes five practice problems with solutions and...

This lab was designed to give students practice collecting and analyzing data for the PVC Freefall Lab. Masses are dropped from different heights and the speed of the object as it passes through a photogate is calculated. The...

In this lab, students will work on scientific inquiry skills: observation, developing questions, conducting an experiment, and collecting data. They will investigate forces using pop bottle rockets that they have designed.

In this lesson on distance-time graphs, students will understand graphing by analyzing distance-time graphs.

Do you like to ski? If you do, do you ski for the physical sport of it? This resource turns the attention to the mathematical side of the winter sport.

This page provides practice questions on each of the conceptual content sections in AP Physics: Chapter 2: Kinematics.

Using the free-fall constants and gravity acceleration equations, we can determine many things about the position, velocity, and speed of a projectile. Here are a few examples and explanations. This is a great review for the AP Calculus...

Let your learners have a little fun and reinforce their learning of motion-related concepts at the same time.

Prepare for the AP Calculus exam by reviewing the most common relationships that are used in calculus. Formulas and examples are provided.

This site from Stanford University is on the topic of simultaneity in relativity.

Students must find the acceleration due to gravity on a planet and the impact speed of an object that has been falling from the top of a garish tower.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the stopping distance and stopping time of a car on a roadway. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, gravitational...

As the tempo of life accelerated and speed became a virtue, a horse-racing craze swept the nation. At the track, stopwatches made it possible to post winning times in quarter-seconds! In 1855, Lexington, the country's most famous horse,...
