Free Scatterplot

This tutorial and mini-worksheet explains the rationale for and the steps for creating a Free Body Diagram (FBD). Includes determining the contact and non-contact forces at play, and labeling forces. A short, but challenging, exercise lets students create 2 FBDs so they can practice the steps, and see how the choice of system changes a FBD.

Wave Interference Slideshow - SPH4U - WITH DERIVATIONS: Watermark-free

Created by

Dylan Lewis

*This is the paid, watermark-free version - a free version (with watermarks) is available in my store to consult* Waves are really easy to teach if all we do is show equations to students and tell them what each variable within a given equation represents. The DERIVATIONS, however, are anything but easy. The textbook typically used in Ontario SPH4U courses does a mediocre job (at best) explaining how the equations came to be. Fear not: the slideshow here not only gives you and your students a fu

Introductory worksheet gives students practice drawing Free Body Diagrams for a simple situation (huskies pulling dog sled) involving 2 vertical forces and 3 horizontal forces. Students write an expression for net force along each axis using the correct symbols/abbreviations and apply the 2nd law to find the acceleration. Follow up questions use kinematic formulas to describe the resulting motion.
