Physics Aviary: Adding Sine Curves

This program gives students a visual representation of sine and cosine at different angles. A unit vector will cycle through different angles and students can see the changes that take place to the horizontal part and the vertical part...

Read a heating curve to determine what an object's boiling point is as well as its specific heat.

Determine the heat that has been added to a gas in a process where the volume does not change. A video describing the problem can be found here: https://youtu.be/7jbuZlStfjo

Determine the heat that has been added to a gas in an isobaric process.

A program that will randomly generate data the students can then graph and curve fit. Gives students a chance to learn Logger Pro or other graphing program before starting actual labs.

This program was designed to make sure students can properly curve fit the different types of data they will run across in class.

This lab is designed to have students investigate the energy added to an object when it is moved away from another object. This lab is meant to lay the foundations for the idea of universal gravitational energy. Students will see how the...

Determine the energy that must be added to a system to move a charge from one location to another in the vicinity of another charge.

Students must find how much energy has been added to a spring by looking at the Force vs. Spring Length graph.

Students must determine the work done by a horizontal force when there is no friction acting on the box. Students must then find the speed of the box after this work has been added to the box.
