It's an ocean rescue mission! Groups must find a pilot downed off the coast of the Chesapeake Bay. Rescuers must determine the distance needed to travel as well as the heading to get to the pilot's last known position. Taking...

Students investigate projectile motion. In this projectile motion lesson, students investigate a website with an interactive lesson. Students view the changes in the projectile they see in the lesson. Students watch short video clips and...

An excellent lesson on vectors and their components, with multiple illustrated examples.

This thorough explanation from the Glenbrook High School of different kinds of vector problems address relative velocity with an airplane and riverboat. Includes examples and a five question practice quiz. Answers with all work shown are...

A program that will randomly generate a vector in three dimensions. You must find the x, y, and z components of that vector.

A program that will randomly move an object from one location to another in three dimensional space. You must determine the length of the displacement vector that is created by this movement.

Students investigate scalar and vector fields though a downloadable java simulation. The simulation explores the gradient of a scalar field using a numerical approximation to the partial derivatives.

This activity checks that you are able to add and subtract vectors, calculate the dot and cross product of vectors, and multiply or divide vectors by scalars.

A program that will randomly generate three sequential motions. You must determine the resultant vector's magnitude and direction.

The process of graphical addition with vectors is shown at this site.

This site provides a set of four Physics problems dealing with the conservation of momentum principle.
