It is equally true that if momentum is conserved in one inertial reference frame, it is conserved in all inertial frames. This java applet apply the above concept to one-dimentional collision problem. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=286978 Kinematics and dynamics are presented here in multimedia, at introductory and also at deeper levels. Individual video clips and animations are suitable for use by teachers, while students may use the whole package for self instruction or for reference. Animations from Physclips require the Flash 6 Plugin. The multimedia modules have animations and film clips and are typically 3-5 Mb. The much smaller HTML versions have only text and images. (If your connection is slow, you might read some of the background links while the modules load.) http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74945 Describes the motion of a string released from rest in a "״plucked״" (isosceles triangle)configuration. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=365075 A short movie of the Moon moving through the Earths shadow, and how it appears from Earth. This requires Flash player. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=75074 LET NET FILL-UP using Kohonen neuronal networks. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=284814 The Scribbler Robot is a useful tool for learning logic and early programming skills. These videos serve as an introduction for the student. Hooking up the scribbler, adding a program to the scribbler and giving it a go are all demonstrated in the videos at the resource location. The scribbler is used in the first lower division course and is a robust enough tool that it can serve both advanced and entry level lower-division students. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74947 The sample program plots the field in the vicinity of identical spheres placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. We have the equations needed to calculate the direction of the field at any arbitrary point, so all we need is a plan for making up curves from line segments.
