This informative tutorial on Coulomb's Law and electric force in physics features a definition as well as formulas, diagrams, and learning exercises.

A detailed explanation of the different types of forces that can be applied to an object and how to represent them in a free body diagram. Includes examples and some practice problems to try, with solutions provided.

The operation of Polaroid filters on a pair of sunglasses is shown.

Using only two of our fundamental units, time and displacement students will build a framework to predict the motion of objects, starting with one dimensional motion.

In this interactive tutorial, students are introduced to motion in a second dimension, and model and predict the more complex motion of projectiles.

Become a student of physics and approach the task of adding vector quantities, which also include direction. See this head-to-tail animation which helps with the visualization of this concept.

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.

An animated illustration helps students understand that the summative result of two or more vectors can be determined by a process of vector addition.

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

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.

Students must show they are able to find the components of a velocity vector and that they can calculate the velocity vector from the components. Students must be able to get 5 in a row correct to receive credit for this assignment.

This simulation of a satellite's elliptical motion around a central body allows students to alter the eccentricity of the orbit while learning about velocity and force vectors.
