Beginning Kinematics – Study Guide Test and Tutorial - 210 problems

This new Windows application is a study guide and a tutorial. It helps high school physics students become efficient problem solvers in Beginning Kinematics, the first and one of the most important chapters in the physics program. The students have the opportunity of practicing 210 original and carefully designed problems. The following is the list of topics covered, and the number of problems in each topic:

Vectors [ 22 problems ]

Uniform Motion in a Straight Line [ 10 ]

Units [ 8 ]

Uniformly Accelerated Motion [ 38 ]

Acceleration Due to Gravity [ 52 ]

Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies [ 30 ]

Average Velocity [ 14 ]

Kinematics Graphics [ 12 ]

Projectile Motion [ 24 ]

The problems from the data bank are presented in ascending order as multiple choice questions, which the students have to answer. After each question is answered, the step by step solution is shown. An evaluation of the students' performance is shown at the end of the test. The students can start at any point, and they have to indicate up to what question they want to study. This method allows students to study independently the specific exercises in each topic.

It takes just a few minutes to learn to use this Study Guide. Simply place the Zip file in any folder or subfolder you want. Right click the mouse and select Extract all the files. The subfolder Beginning Kinematics Guide 2 is created. From inside the subfolder, just select the file Start Test Generator, and the students are ready to begin practicing. It is that simple. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them as soon as possible. Again, this program is for computers using Windows 10 or newer.
