Ferris Wheel Problem

Two activities employ the use of kinematic equations for determining projectile ranges. They both require the use of a toy dart gun. Included in this resource are both the teacher's guide and student laboratory sheets. This is an...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

What creatures lurk in the rainforest at night? Meet three of them in one short video. Part of a playlist exploring mammals, the video presents a look at night research in the Amazon. Scientists locate and photograph two bat species and...

In this video, Sal solves a word problem sent in by a listener with two cyclists riding towards each other over a given time. It is an interesting problem regarding ratios and the relationship between distance, rate, and time. He shows...

In this well-presented video, Sal continues with the example of the car driving off the cliff and discusses how the time (t) should be bound based on the context of the problem. He then shows how to rewrite the set of parametric...

A more complicated example of two-dimensional projectile motion involving launching and landing at different elevations.

Sir Isaac Newton is the father of physics. Study his three laws of motion during this video. The video instructor explains the first law in terms of inertia, the second law that gives us the formula for force, and the third law of...

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.

Continues from an earlier video on unit vector notation. Demonstrates that adding the x and y components of two vectors is equivalent to adding the vectors visually using the head-to-tail method. [9:13]

This lesson demonstrates how to use the difference of two squares and the zero product property to solve for binomial equations.
