Manipulate the voltage and resistance for a simple circuit to see how these affect the amount of current. The symbols in the Ohm's Law equation grow bigger and smaller to emphasize the changes.
See how light knocks electrons off a metal target, and recreate the experiment that spawned the field of quantum mechanics. Describe how the results lead to the photon model of light.
This tutorial looks at the anatomy of the eye and how the sense of sight works. This is the first part of a learning module. Subsequent sections cover how images are formed and detected, the concept of accommodation where the eye adjusts its focus, and how farsightedness and nearsightedness are corrected. Includes detailed calculations using physics formulas, e.g., to find the quantitative relationship between the object distance, image distance, and focal length.
Learn about the relationship between position and velocity for a model rocket during launch and in free-fall. Experiment with rocket mass, rocket thrust, and rocket burn time to understand the connection of velocity and position. Uncover more about this physics concept with four more examples.
