High School
P2.1 Position — Time
An object’s position can be measured and graphed
as a function of time. An object’s speed can be
calculated and graphed as a function of time.
- Fear
of Physics, learn about position, velocity, and acceleration
This is a site that allows a student to input different
values for the components of a moving object and see
how it effects all the other components.
- Physics
Classroom - "1-D Kinematics"
The motion of objects in one-dimension is described
using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs, and equations.
Lesson include, Describing Motion with Words, Describing
Motion with Diagrams, Describing Motion with Position
vs. Time Graphs, Describing Motion with Velocity vs.
Time Graphs, Free Fall and the Acceleration of Gravity,
and Describing Motion with Equations.
- Physics
Classroom - "Kinematics: Multimedia Physics Studio"
The motion of automobiles, Hot Wheel cars, and
rockets are used to illustrate the physics of position,
velocity, acceleration, and kinematic graphing.
- Physics
Classroom - "Circular, Satellite, and Rotational
Motion: Multimedia Physics Studio"
Learn how Newton's laws apply to the motion of
roller coaster riders in loops as well as planets
orbiting the Sun.
- Physics
Classroom - "Vectors & Projectiles"
Learn about the physics of vectors and vector operations
and study their application to the motion of projectiles.
- Physics
for Physical Science
The unit on motion in this site is very descriptive
and contains a lot of graphs and animation. Subjects
covered are: projectile motion, momentum, force, energy,
and power.
P2.2 Velocity — Time
The motion of an object can be described by its position
and velocity as functions of time and by its average
speed and average acceleration during intervals of time.
- Chapter
2 Velocity - Motion of Objects
This is another site that allows you to input
velocity and see how it effects motion.
- Physics
Classroom - "1-D Kinematics" - Motion of
Objects
The motion of objects in one-dimension is described
using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs, and equations.
Lesson include, Describing Motion with Words, Describing
Motion with Diagrams, Describing Motion with Position
vs. Time Graphs, Describing Motion with Velocity vs.
Time Graphs, Free Fall and the Acceleration of Gravity,
and Describing Motion with Equations.
- Physics
Classroom - "Kinematics: Multimedia Physics Studio"
Newton's laws of motion and kinematic principles are
applied to describe and explain the motion of objects
moving in circles; specific applications are made
to roller coasters and athletics. Newton's Universal
Law of Gravitation is then presented and utilized
to explain the circular and elliptical motion of planets
and satellites.
- Physics
Classroom - "Vectors & Projectiles"
Learn about the physics of vectors and vector operations
and study their application to the motion of projectiles.
- Physics
for Physical Science
The unit on motion in this site is very descriptive
and contains a lot of graphs and animation. Subjects
covered are: projectile motion, momentum, force, energy,
and power.
P2.3x Frames of Reference
All motion is relative to whatever frame of reference
is chosen, for there is no motionless frame from which
to judge all motion.
- Frames
of Reference: The Basics New
Newton's equations
describe and predict the way an object moves: but
moves with regard to what?
- Lesson
9: Relative Motion and Frames of Reference New
Relative motion is just a way of saying that sometimes
different people will say different things about the
motion of the same object.
- Relative
Motion (Frame of Reference) New
An object may appear to have one motion to one observer
and a different motion to a second observer, depending
on how the two observers are moving with respect to
one another.
