Induced Currents In a Loop of Wire
The conditions required in order to induce a current in a loop of wire will be explored. Both changes in magnitude and direction will be considered.
Relative Velocities
An object can appear to have different velocities depending on the velocity of an observer. In this problem set, scenarios will be analyzed from different frames of reference in order to determine the velocity of one object relative to another.
Two Block Collisions
How do two objects behave after they collide with one another? The role of momentum and energy in determining the outcome of collisions will be explored in the following set of questions.
Superhero Physics
What are the forces involved when swinging on a rope? Free-body diagrams will be used to analyze the forces on a superhero as he swings from one building to another.
Forces in Circular Motion
This set of questions investigates the forces involved in changes of direction. Conclusions about the direction of forces in circular motion will be discovered without the use of calculations or mathematical formulas.
How Does “Work” Work?
This set of questions explore the factors that affect the amount of work done on an object as well as how work translates into kinetic energy.
Ball on a Moving Cart
The trajectory of a ball dropped from a person on a moving cart will be modelled using both x-position vs. time graphs and y-position vs. time graphs. The scenario will be analyzed from the point of view of an observer on the cart and on the ground.
