Provides a long list of physics formulas for easy reference.

Article attempts to answer the question "what is Physics?" Takes a look at concepts such as force, motion, Newton's Laws, work, energy, and much more.

From a chapter on Fluid Statics in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter describes the cohesive and adhesive forces in liquids, the role of cohesion in the surface tension of liquids and bubbles, and how capillary action works....

Through interactive practice problems and examples, students calculate the amount of work done by forces.

Students must determine the amount of work that is done by tension and the amount of work done by friction. Then students must find the work that turned into KE.

Students must determine the work done by a force on an angle when there is no friction present between the box and the table. Students must also find the final speed of the box after this work has been added to the box.

Through interactive exercises and illustrated examples, students analyze situations involving external forces.

This lab was designed to have students test the relationship between the force applied to a spring and the length of the spring. Students can work with 7 different springs.

In this interactive exercise, explore the quantitative relationship between work and mechanical energy in situations in which there are no external forces doing work.

A handy resource that gives an overview of equations and definitions pertinent to an introductory, college-level physics course, with two of its three sections focusing on motion-related topics and principles.

The intricate relationship between work and mechanical energy is depicted in the animation for students to be able to visualize.

This site is from the Physics Department at Georgia State University. The conservation of energy as a fundamental conservation law is presented and compared to other conservation laws (momentum and angular momentum). Links to further...

This site is from the Physics Department at Georgia State University. The reliance upon the law of conservation of energy as an approach to problem-solving is presented and encouraged. It is modeled through a problem involving a...
