Motion is vital to life, and to science. This unit will help you to understand why classical motion is probably the most fundamental part of physics. You will examine motion along a line and the ways in which such motion can be represented, through the use of graphs, equations and differential calculus.

Motion involves two types of measurements : one which depends on the end points (displacement) and the other which depends on all points(distance) of motion.

Activity from the 2008 Rice University NSF Advance Conference entitled “Negotiating the Ideal Faculty Position”. This activity is designed to help candidates explain their current research or abilities concisely and persuasively It was included in the presentation by Sherry Woods (UT Austin) and Rebecca Richards-Kortum (BIOE) entitled "How to Stand Out in a Campus Interview" but may stand alone as a separate exercise.

Explore the forces at work when you try to push a filing cabinet. Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time. View a Free Body Diagram of all the forces (including gravitational and normal forces).

In this lesson, students will learn how great navigators of the past stayed on course that is, the historical methods of navigation. The concepts of dead reckoning and celestial navigation are discussed.

This module represents suggestions regarding a letter of application for a choral position.

This course is a part of physics course structured and designed for class room teaching. The content development is targeted to the young minds having questions and doubts. The book conforms to the standards and frame work prescribed by various Boards of Education. This course contains a 669 page book available in html and pdf formats.

Learn about position, velocity and acceleration vectors. Move the ladybug by setting the position, velocity or acceleration, and see how the vectors change. Choose linear, circular or elliptical motion, and record and playback the motion to analyze the behavior.

Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration in the "Arena of Pain". Use the green arrow to move the ball. Add more walls to the arena to make the game more difficult. Try to make a goal as fast as you can.

Motion is a universal attribute of all objects. Our current understanding estimates that everything in this universe is constantly moving. Contrary to our common belief based on our existence on earth, rest is simply a perception in a given frame of reference.

Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. Move the little man back and forth with the mouse and plot his motion. Set the position, velocity, or acceleration and let the simulation move the man for you.

Build your own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet. With this orbit simulator, you can set initial positions, velocities, and masses of 2, 3, or 4 bodies, and then see them orbit each other.

Position specifies location of a point or point like object with the help of coordinate values.

Position vector encapsulates directional feature of a position in the volumetric space of the coordinate system.

Blast a Buick out of a cannon! Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set the angle, initial speed, and mass. Add air resistance. Make a game out of this simulation by trying to hit a target.

Explore forces and motion as you push household objects up and down a ramp. Lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces. Graphs show forces, energy and work.

You practice reading comprehension using a text about Roetgen. You practice your vocabulary to describe the physical location of a city/village; make use of points of the compass.
