Students must determine the 3 components of the initial velocity of a soccer ball on a corner kick. Students will see the displacement of the ball in all three dimensions as well as the time the ball is in the air. Students must also...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How to use parallax to measure distances to stars.

A learning module where students gain an understanding of the relationships between the different kinds of motion. Students will be able to explain free-fall motion and use kinematics equations to calculate problems involving falling...

Provides definitions, examples, and formulas for acceleration.

Takes the Boltzmann distribution mathematics and explains it. Not a simple site, but does provide nice historical links in addition to high-level explanation of the distribution.

This lab activity involves rolling a marble down a ramp where the students can investigate constant acceleration motion. The students then make a position vs. time graph and a velocity vs. time graph in order to investigate the change in...

Do you think you could fire an "unpowered" object into orbit? By controlling the angle and speed at which the satellite is launch, students will try to launch a satellite into space with this computer model. Activity includes questions...
