The derivation of the Boltzmann distribution in detail. Shows calculations and graphs, with links to animations and video to further explain.

This lesson focuses on Newton's Law for falling objects including terminal velocity, the three stages of falling, a diagram showing what happens to the speed of a skydiver from airplane to ground, velocity-time graphs for falling...

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the maximum speed a car can go around a turn. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, radius of the turn and the initial speed...

Learners examine motion with words, equations, diagrams, and graphs. Some topics investigated are position, velocity, acceleration, and free fall. The tutorial consists of lessons and problems to check for understanding.

[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...

This activity is a great way to show distance and time relationships while incorporating charts and graphing. Different sized tins are raced against each other, and data is collected.

This lab activity involves rolling a marble down a ramp where the students can investigate constant acceleration motion. The students then make a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph in order to investigate the change in...
