Physics Aviary: Distance and Displacement Challenge

Students must solve for the tension in the rope and the acceleration of the car based on the angle of displacement for a hanging mass.

This lab is designed to help students visualize distance between two synchronized sources that will lead to constructive and destructive interference.

This game is designed to help students mentally figure out distances, speeds or time for objects moving at constant speed. A video will help with use of the program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nWhvhO6pXo&feature=youtu.be

Students are introduced to the two scalar and vector quantities of distance and displacement with several illustrated practice problem opportunities.

Students figure out how much mass can be put in a boat without having the boat go fully under the fluid.

Practice reading an analog current meter.

Practice reading an oscilloscope. Students must achieve a score or 10 or more. At the end students should be able to get frequency, period, voltage and peak to peak voltage.
