Calculating Cable Tension

What goes up does not always come down. Working in teams of two or three, classmates design and build a working elevator. The elevator must be able to safely deliver a car to any level of a parking structure. In order to assist with the...

In this forces worksheet, students determine where an object of a certain mass would need to be placed to balance the system. Students calculate the tension on a cable. This worksheet has 5 problems to solve.

A few class periods will be required to complete this physics investigation with your high schoolers. There is an unavailable video written into the lesson plan, but there is plenty of material here to bridge the gap. Two terrific...

A total of 29 word problems furnish practice in solving for work, energy, and force. A few of the questions display diagrams to help learners visualize the systems, and all of them list five choices from which they select the correct...

In this forces worksheet, students calculate life force, acceleration, and displacement for 8 word problems. Students must label force diagram and a summation force model.

High schoolers discuss how people have used engineering, science, and math together to create famous landmarks. Students will research the number of people it took to build the landmark and define engineering terminology such as...

In this physics 210-19 worksheet, students calculate the angular acceleration for the problems given. Students find the mass and sketch the forces present that act upon the object described.

Force acts on objects in mysterious ways ... until now! A comprehensive presentation explains the balance of forces acting on objects. Learners draw free body diagrams to show these invisible forces and make force calculations.

Students calculate distance, velocity, acceleration and time on their fantasy trip to the black hold. They apply Newton's Laws of Motion and calculate circular motion. They discuss any questions that may arise.

Students calculate how much coal they use based on their electric power usage. In this environmental science lesson, students trace the history of coal mining in US. They write a letter to USPS to encourage them to create coal mining...
