                       The Optics Equation

      Rotation Vertical Plane 2



      This application is completely dedicated to the use of the optics equation. Any values can be entered for p, q, and f. After two values are entered, the application will indicate the properties of the image produced, what is the magnification, and the type of lens or mirror involved. It is an excellent application to practice problem solving and master geometrical optics.

                       Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies

      Gal;ileo Statue



      There are three Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies applications. They have unique designs and are intended for physics students to learn, and for physics teachers to teach kinematics in a motivating way. Each of them presents hundreds of random numerical problems for the students to solve mentally. There is no need to use calculators. They are great activities to solve kinematics problems mentally without using equations. Instead, principles of the Law of Falling Bodies, which is a marvelous tool, need to be applied. More detailed descriptions are shown in the following TpT links.

      Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies 1
      There are six different types of numerical exercises. In all problems, the falling bodies start from rest.

      Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies 2
      It incorporates four different types of exercises. In all problems, all bodies are initially thrown vertically downward.

      Galileo's Law of Falling Bodies 3
      It incorporates four different types of exercises. In all problems, all bodies are initially thrown vertically upward.

                                    Projectile Motion

      Rotation Vertical Plane 2



      There are three Projectile Motion applications.They were designed for students to practice problem solving, and for teachers to use them as motivating teaching tools. All three application have a unique and simple design. They presents random numerical problems for the students to solve without writing anything. Some problems can be solved mentally, while others require the use of calculators. Most exercises take 30 seconds or less to solve. They include finding the range, horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, speed, height, and linear acceleration. More detailed descriptions are shown in the following TpT links.

      Projectile Motion 1
      In all problems, the projectiles are initially ejected horizontally.

      Projectile Motion 2
      In all problems, the projectiles are initially thrown above the horizontal.

      Projectile Motion 3
      In all problems, the projectiles are initially thrown below the horizonatl.

                                   Kinematics Equations

      kinematics equations



      The Kinematics Equations application is an excellent tool to practice kinematics problem solving. The students have the opportunity of solving 16 different types of problems. They will gain experience in using all four basic kinematics equations.

      After the student indicates what type of exercise will be solved, the computer will request that information for three different variables be entered. Subsequently, the computer will estimate the correct value for the fourth variable. Only the SI System of Units is used in this application.

                                             Kinematics Tutorial

      kinematics tutorial



      This Kinematics Tutorial was designed for Honors and regular high school physics students. The tutorial covers the following topics:

        Vectors
        Uniform Motion in a Straight Line
        Uniformly Accelerated Motion
        Galileo’s Law of Falling Bodies
        Galileo’s Law of Odd Numbers
        Kinematic s Equations
        Projectile Motion

      Every concept from vectors to projectile motion is explained using simple language and several examples. After the students go over the 48 screens the tutorial incorporates, they will have solid knowledge of kinematics and will be ready for problem solving practice in most of the chapter.

                Formation of Sound Beats - Addition of Waves

      Rotation Vertical Plane 2

      Rotation Vertical Plane 2



      This application shows the formation of beats when sound waves interfere and combine. In other words, when waves are added. It can be used by physics teachers during the study of waves. The students will enjoy the graphics and the great variety of beats formed. A good thing is that many different frequencies and amplitudes can be entered, forming thousands of different beats patterns.

                                              Relativity

      Rotation Vertical Plane 2

      Rotation Vertical Plane 2



      Relativity 1
      This physics application shows the time dilation, the mass expansion, and the length contraction when one student in a hypothetical journey travels in space at speeds near the speed of light. The application will assume the following information for one student:

      Mass of the student = 60 kg
      Age of the student = 18 years
      Length of the spacecraft = 150 m
      Year the student left planet Earth = 2,022

      The student will return to Earth after 20 years, as indicated by a clock in the spacecraft.

      By just pressing each time the space bar, starting at 0.1c and increasing gradually all the way to 0.999999998c, the computer will show:

      Mass of the student while traveling in spacecraft
      Length of the spacecraft while moving in space
      Age of the student when returning to Earth
      Years passed on planet Earth since the student left
      Current year in Planet Earth when the student returned

      Relativity 2
      The application Relativity 2 shows the time dilation, the mass expansion, and the length contraction when one student in a hypothetical journey travels in space at speeds near the speed of light. The application will request the following information to be entered:

      Mass of the student
      Age of the student
      Speed of the spacecraft (from 0.1c to 0.999999998c)
      Year the student left planet Earth

      The student will return after 1,000 years have passed on planet Earth. The computer will find the following:

      Mass of the student while traveling in spacecraft
      Length of the spacecraft while moving in space
      Age of the student after 1,000 years have passed on planet Earth
      Year in Planet Earth when the student returned
