This lesson is specifically linked to the OCR Physics A Specification, but should apply to most A Level Physics courses. A bundle is a package of resources grouped together to teach a particular topic ...

This is a grade 11 physics power point that describes projectile motion. The topics include using the kinematic equations to solve for distance, displacement, speed, initial velocity, final velocity ...

I wish Angry Birds had been around when I was teaching high school physics. Please don’t think of the game as a hate crime against hogs, or an avian anger management program—instead, think of it as a ...

It is that FIRST Robotics competition time of the year. Basically, in FIRST, high school students work in teams to build robots that compete in specific tasks. Apparently, this year a task involves ...

I’ve started recreating many of my numerical model tutorials for introductory physics. In the beginning, I had students use spreadsheets to create models. Of course, spreadsheets aren’t very good for ...

As the name suggests, horizontal motion occurs when the object is thrown horizontally, meaning it starts with zero vertical velocity. The only force acting on the object is gravity, causing it to ...

Adding a soft, springy material to a solid projectile leads to a threefold increase in kinetic energy when the projectile is launched upward. Launch sequence. A lineup of plastic projectiles is ...

Shock network. A projectile (dark semicircle) generates chains of force in a two-dimensional granular material as the grains absorb the energy of impact. High-speed video (below) shows that energy is ...
