Create velocity vs. time graphs using the information from the given position vs. time graphs. The velocity is calculated from the slope of the line in the position vs. time graph.
This presentation describes interactions of waves like reflection, refraction, diffraction, polarization (for light), doppler effect, resonance, standing waves, and interference (constructive and destructive). The teacher uses a ripple tank generator to illustrate the interactions alone with the presentation.
This powerpoint describe the physics of motion from constant velocity to acceleration, including information about how to construct motions maps, and how to build a velocity vs. time graph from a position vs. time graph or and acceleration vs. time graph from a velocity vs. time graph.
Includes a historical introduction to heat and temperature, explains the three heat transfer mechanism, introduce the concept of heat equilibrium and how it relates to the thermometer. Explain the different temperature scales used and the conversion between scales. Includes pictures to illustrate.
This presentation includes topics related to wave propagation specifically prepared for high school students, Concepts included are parts of a wave, transverse and longitudinal waves, period, frequency, wavelength, and speed, including sample problems and check for understanding questions. You are free to use it at your convenience. You are responsible for any changes you made to the material.
In this activity, students will use the equation for the law of conservation of momentum to predict the initial velocity of the metal sphere for an inelastic collision. Students will measure the mass of the objects, and the final velocity of the cart-ball system after the collision, and use the equation for conservation of momentum to calculate the initial velocity of the ball, this activity may be extended by also measuring the initial velocity of the ball using an extra motion sensor, a photog
