Physical and biological factors affect everyday living. Scholars explore electromagnetic forces, motion, the rock cycle, and geological changes. They examine cells as the building blocks of life and how organisms reproduce using images...

Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...

Textbooks come in all shapes, sizes, and media these days. An electronic textbook resource offers Physics materials for an entire course. The text offers an explanation of physics topics as well as examples of calculations and reading...

Three complete tutorials on vectors and two dimension forces and motion. Lessons include informational text, interactive activities, animations, and quick, interactive comprehension checks along the way.

The emphasis of this unit is to understand some fundamentals about vectors, and to apply the fundamentals in order to understand motion and forces that occur in two dimensions.

From a chapter on Linear Momentum and Collisions in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter covers linear momentum, how momentum and force are related, how momentum fits into Newton's second law of motion, and how to calculate...

Students apply both kinematic principles and Newton's laws of motion to understand and explain the motion of objects moving in two dimensions, more specifically, the motion of projectiles.

Students examine examples of vectors that are directed in two dimensions- upward and rightward, northward and westward, eastward and southward, etc.

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.

In this physics tutorial, the task of summing vectors will be extended to cases in which the vectors are directed in directions other than purely vertical and horizontal.

In this physics tutorial, students learn how to approach more complex vector addition situations by combining the concept of vector components and the principles of vector resolution with the use of the Pythagorean theorem.

This physics tutorial illustrates problems that show the vector sum of two or more vectors is the resultant.

In this unit, students learn two basic methods for determining the magnitudes of the components of a vector directed in two dimensions. The two methods of vector resolution students will examine are the parallelogram method the...

Through illustrated examples and practice problems, students explore the centripetal force requirement. So for an object moving in a circle, there must be an inward force acting upon it in order to cause its inward acceleration.

Using the values of speed, acceleration, and force, students explore and analyze the motion of objects in circles.

How do Newton's Laws connect with electrical forces? This overview illustrates how they blend together. After studying this explanation, test understanding with the review questions provided.

Students investigate a variety of applications of circular motion principles to the world of sports, and use Newton's laws to mathematically analyze such motions. The emphasis will not be upon an investigation of the details of every...

Through interactive practice problems and illustrated examples, students explore energy relationships for satellites.

This physics tutorial provides students illustrated examples and interactive practice problems containing perpendicular components of motion.

Through illustrated examples and interactive practice problems, students find the value of forces acting upon objects using force equations.

In this tutorial, examine the effect of forces acting at angles to the horizontal, such that the force has an influence in two dimensions- horizontally and vertically.

Students explore how a satellite's motion is governed by the same physics principles and described by the same mathematical equations.

In the case of projectiles, students use information about the initial velocity and position of a projectile to predict such things as how much time the projectile is in the air and how far the projectile will go. They do this to make...

Through illustrated examples and practice problems, students apply the relationship between work and mechanical energy change to a variety of motion scenarios in order to test our understanding.
