Topics include Vectors, 1D Kinematics, 2D Kinematics, Dynamics (Forces), and Work and Energy (under construction). The items are interactive, and provide immediate feedback and a running score, making them suitable for student self-study. A means of recording scores for a homework grade is available from the author. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=355475 This applet simulates a boat traveling across a river. The user can adjust the speed of the water and boat along with the direction of travel for the boat. Colorcoded vectors are displayed and updated for the river velocity, boat velocity, and relative velocity. The relative velocity vector is the velocity of the boat with respect to an observer on the bank (i.e. ground). http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91000 Kinematic equations can be applied to predict the final parameter's of a projectile's motion. Apply the equations to solve the following horizontally-launched projectile problems. Requires Shockwave. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90347 An applet for demonstrating projectile motion. Extensive explanatory text included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78456 In this animation, a moving cart shoots a ball straight up. Students get to vote on where the ball will land, and then the physics is explained qualitatively. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=77863 This activity lets you alter the initial velocity, mass, angle, and height of an object on a frictionless inclined plane. The simulation then lets the object move down the inclined plane, and creates a graph of (one of) x position, y position, potential energy, kinetic energy, total energy, time, x velocity, y velocity, x acceleration, or y acceleration plotted against another choice from the same list. The student selects which of these variables are to be graphed. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79385 A collection of over 140 videos of Physics Demonstrations covering a wide variety of topics, from mechanics to atomic. Videos are offered in both real and mpg formats. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90994 This site contains an extensive set of notes on basic topics in physics. There are extensive illustrations and animations along with the text. Also included are self-quizzes, and shockwave quizzes and tutorials. Includes projectile motion and forces in two dimensions, as well as a discussion on vectors. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90298 A Java applet for demonstrating motion with respect to moving reference points. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=499138 פרק מס' 4 מתוך האתר "מבינים פיזיקה" המבוסס על הספר Understanding Physics בהוצאת מאגנס והמכללה האקדמית להנדסה אורט בראודה.האתר מכיל חומרים בלימודי המכניקה - קורס פיזיקה 1, הכוללים: עמודים מתוך הספר "מבינים פיזיקה״, תרגילים לפתרון, הדמיות (סימולציות אנימציה) Java מתוך הספר המקוון Physlet, סרטוני וידאו, ומערכות מושגים.פרק 4 עוסק בנושא: וקטורים.
