Interactive Physics Problems
Interactive Physics Problem Set
http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~fisc/ipps/
This site has links to almost 100 practice problems for physics students.
They're accompanied by detailed solutions and interactive computer
experiments (only on MACs). Scroll down to Chapter 6 on Forces and
Chapter 7 on Force Applications.
Zona Land: Education in
Physics and Mathematic
http://id.mind.net/~zona/index.html
Zona Land, a science and mathematics resource site for students and
teachers, illustrates mathematical and physical principles by the use of
Java applets and VRML simulations. One section covers
Forces . [From the Home page click on More Science than Mathematics,
Physics Department, Mechanical and finally click on
Forces.]
Virtual
Physics Laboratory
http://128.104.221.84/javamirror/ntnujava/index.html
This repository of Java applets, created to demonstrate principles of
physics, is provided by physicist Fu-Kwun Hwang of the National Taiwan
Normal University. Applets are available at this time in the fields of
mechanics, dynamics, waves, thermodynamics, electromagnetic field and
optics. This site is a very good supplement to a basic physics class.
Physics 2000
http://www.Colorado.EDU/physics/2000/
From the University of Colorado at Boulder, this site uses interactive
Java applets and cartoon characters to introduce physics in a friendly
way. Topics range from electromagnetic waves and particles to microwave
ovens to classic experiments in atomic physics.
fun@learning.physics
http://thorin.adnc.com/~topquark/fun/fun.html
This site, by Mark Sutherland, contains an on-line course on dynamics: the
study of motion. The site contains tutorials, lessons, movies and java
applets on Newtonian mechanics in one, two and three dimensions.
BC
Education-Applications of Physics of 11 and 12 Grade Curriculum
http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/irp/apph1112/preface.htm
Integrated Resource Package (IRP) provides some of the basic information
that teachers require to implement the Applications of Physics 11 and 12
curriculums. If one scrolls down to the section on Suggested Instructional
Strategies there is information on how students become familiar with the
concept of force by designing and constructing their own devices for
measuring force and examples of devices.
Shockwave's Physics Studio
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/shwave/index.html
The Shockwave Physics Studios is a series of interactive animations
designed for high school physics students. The animations include Free
body Diagrams, Hit the Target and Graphing Motion.
U.C.
Berkeley Physics Lecture Demonstrations
http://www.mip.berkeley.edu:80/physics/physics.html
The section on
Forces has demonstrations that include: Hooke's Law and Force
table: Forces on a car on a horizontal table [To reach the section click
on Mechanics, then on Forces.]
Physics Applets
http://jersey.uoregon.edu/vlab/
This site, from the University of Oregon's Department of Physics, has a
large collection of interesting interactive JAVA applets for Physics.
ThinkQuest Sites on Physics [top]
Fizzics Fizzle
http://library.thinkquest.org/16600/
Fizzics Fizzle is a comprehensive guide to understanding the world of
physics. It offers content on three difficulty levels: Beginners,
Intermediate and Advance. The Intermediate Level is for High School. There
is material here on force and friction
Visual Physics
http://library.thinkquest.org/10170/
With Visual Physics, users can learn about specific topics in physics, run
interactive simulations, and participate in basic, yet challenging quizzes
which can measure one's progression. Enter the site and use the
Navigational Panel on the left side of the page to examine the Simulations
section that has a section on Forces.
Learn Physics
Today
http://library.thinkquest.org/10796/index.html
This site uses Java applets to help illustrate basic physics concepts
related to mechanics (Forces and Newton's Law), light and waves, and
electricity. The site is divided into fifteen chapters and also provides a
basic skills tutorial and a scientific calculator. Self testing quizzes
are available. This site finished in First Place in the 1997 ThinkQuest
contest.
The P Zone
http://library.thinkquest.org/12632/intromap1.html
P Zone was created solely for the 1997 ThinkQuest Internet Contest. Click
on link to section on Forces and Motion.
Newton's Laws [top]
The
Physics Classroom
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/class/BBoard.html
The Physics Classroom is an online physics tutorial written for high
school physics students. The section on Newton's Laws include: Newton's
First Law of Motion, Forces and its Representation and Newton's Second and
Third Law.
Newton's Three Laws of Motion
http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/newton.html
NASA's site on Newton's Laws of Motion with activities for K-6,6-8, 9-12,
and 11-12.
How Things Work [top]
How Things Work: The Physics
of Everyday Life
http://howthingswork.virginia.edu/
Users may e-mail questions about how things work and Professor Louis
Bloomfield of the University Of Virginia Physics Department answers them.
One may browse or search the list of answered questions.
Amusement Park
Physics: What are the forces behind the fun?
http://www.learner.org/exhibits/parkphysics/
How do physics laws affect amusement park ride design? In this exhibit,
produced by the Anneberg/CPB Math and Science Project, you'll have a
chance to find out by designing your own roller coaster.
Airplanes,
Centrifuges, Gravity, etc.
http://www.av8n.com/how/
See How It Flies is a book by John Stewart Denker who received a BS
degree from Caltech and a PhD from Cornell University. Present here is
information on the Laws of Motion and flying.
