By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: Explain the relationships between instantaneous velocity, average velocity, instantaneous speed, average speed, displacement, and time; Calculate velocity and speed given...

In the following interactive students will begin to calculate coefficient of friction on a car tire. They will also calculate ideal speed and angle of a car on a turn.

This PBS site is a classroom activity that takes a trip to a black hole. Students apply calculations on distance, velocity, acceleration, time, circular motion, density, and more.

This activity shows students the engineering importance of understanding the laws of mechanical energy. More specifically, it demonstrates how potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy and back again. Given a pendulum height,...

In this race between a bird and a dog, 8th graders are provided with information about their starting locations on a map and their speeds. They are asked to predict a winner, draw the paths they might follow, decide how to determine who...
