Vectors in Relative Velocities Problem Set

I don't always make vector jokes, but when I do, IJK. Vector addition using multiple methods, scalar multiplication, vector subtraction, vector components, relative velocities, free body diagrams, and so much more Are covered in this...

Young biochemists examine the reactions that make life possible with this set of practice problems. Focusing specifically on carbohydrate compounds, these multi-step questions challenge students to demonstrate their understanding of the...

Represent motion with arrows and call them vectors! The lesson is a presentation that models the mathematics involved when determining a resultant vector. It addrssses motions that are parallel, perpendicular, and a combination of both. 

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...

Scientists know things can't travel faster than light speed, so how do scholars add together numbers close to light speed? The sixth video in the eight-part series on Special Relativity answers these questions and more. the narrator not...

Einstein's best-known work not only demonstrates that time itself is relative, but also shows how matter moves. An animated video illustrates the problem of motion, the concept of perspective, and the breakthrough idea that time is not a...

What is motion and why does it often follow a straight line? Share the video with your class so they understand the answers to this question and others. Pupils participate in discussions on displacement, acceleration, time, velocity and...

Map the velocity of a thrown football using physics! Learners study vector addition using a football scenario. Two vectors model the movement of the receiver and quarterback while the resulting vector describes the velocity of the...

Students explore the concept of vectors. In this vector activity, students manipulate a car (on a computer) by changing the vector that directs the car. Students drive the car using vectors and try not to crash the car.

A realistic simulation uses charts to show forces, position, velocity, and acceleration versus time based on how the simulation is set up. Once those concepts are mastered, scholars use free body diagrams to explain how each graph...
