Describing Motion: Velocity

Sort by:
If you're studying motion and velocity, you've come to the right place. You can watch a free physics video to refresh your memory before a test, experiment with sophisticated online modeling tools, or just practice a few problems with a free worksheet.
An extensive lectures on all aspects of a pendulum are given, accompanied by five interactive Java labs.

Hundreds of free games illustrating basic principles of physics.

This site lets users see the relationships between kinetic energy, potential energy, friction, and gravity as they design a roller coaster.

This website provides not only an explanation of how the ballistic pendulum can be used to measure the speed of a bullet but also a calculator to check your work. It can be used to explain a similar assembly involving a spring instead of a pendulum as well. You simply substitute the equation for the potential energy of a spring for (M+m)gd -- the potential energy of the pendulum.
