Computerized Problem Review

Keep your hands on the wheel—at all times! Scholars learn why pilots use a flight computer through a high-flying demonstration. Making calculations for speed, distance, or time is automatic if you know how to use a flight computer. 

Physics fanatics time five cars as they pass on the highway. They use the times and a 20-yard distance to calculate velocity. They also graph distance vs. time. A page of student pre-lab questions is provided in addition to the activity...

Continue the journey into the world of physics as you lead your class on a winding road complete with vectors and scalers. Pupils learn more about motion, direction, and velocity as they use these concepts to explore two- and...

Examine calculations related to velocity and acceleration. The video instructor introduces formulas for velocity and acceleration. He then completes some practice problems utilizing these formulas. This is the fifth video in a 15-part...

Students must find out the velocity vector for a plane based on readings they take from a radar screen. This video helps students solve the problem: https://youtu.be/y7jOBYseolU

Those who take this challenge will draw force diagrams and then calculate velocities and displacement. The problems are applicable to any general physics curriculum that covers motion. Add this to your collection of homework selections. 

This illustrated tutorial focuses on several examples of vector and scalar quantities including distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Through illustrated examples and interactive practice problems, students explore problems that involve relative velocity- where the actual motion of an object is different than its motion relative to a stationary observer.

Take control of a virtual car and learn how vectors are used to represent velocity and acceleration in this interactive activity developed for Teachers' Domain.

Video explores the difference between vectors and scalars while discussing distance, displacement, speed and velocity. [8:38]
